Another solid album from Aerosmith.
There is also some great pure rock dynamite songs, like "Eat the rich", the energetic "Fever" and you have a couple of so-so songs like "Flesh" or "Gotta love it" but overall, this is a pretty good release by the band. Aerosmith hits the charts once again with "Livin' on the edge", "Crying", "Crazy" and "Amazing". .


This was/is lacking alot
I was kind of hoping that they would get down to business, and do a real 70's retro sounding album. I was disappointed with this. I was put off by the slick produced "Pump" album from 1989, and wanted to hear something on the lines of thier first album, or "Get Your Wings", but here the songs were too weak, and most of them had way way too much harmonica on here. Songs like "Fever", "Eat The Rich", "Cryin", and "Crazy" are just as bad as if the group ran thier nails down a blackboard. "Amazing" was a annoying ballad, and with that, and "Crazy", and "Cryin" having Alicia Silverstone in them made me jealous as I'm like: "Why is it always the rich ones?" There was only one real good song on here, and that was the last one which was "Boogey Man". I did go onto find out that this was during the time that the group was having a falling out with Geffen Records, and was tired of the record president causing trouble with the contract. This is why I'm giving this 2 stars otherwise it would've been less.


Aerosmith - 'Get A Grip' (Geffen)
I can honestly say that 'Get A Grip' is a darn good later day effort by them Boston bad boys. Have always been an Aerosmith fan,even on their lp's that didn't do all that well. I've heard a few mention how this CD just MAY be the band's best record since their 'Rocks' lp. Now,that's saying something. 'Get A Grip' is in my opinion anyway,a modern hard rock classic. Rips from beginning to end. Killer tracks include "Eat The Rich","Shut Up And Dance","Fever","Line-Up","Livin' On The Edge"(remember the video?),"Cryin'" and "Walk On Down"(which features guitarist Joe Perry on vocals). Sweet!No doubt. A must have for all fans. Highly recommended.


Get A Grip, Indeed
The only songs I can stomach are "Livin' On The Edge" and one other one towards the end that I can't remember the name of. I bought this the day it came out, listened to it all the way through three times, and tossed it out the window of my apartment in Boston. . . something about dancing.
Anyway, for all of the bashing that I hear about Rock. . Hard Place and Done w/ Mirrors, this album is absolute crap.
Why they became so huge again in the late 80's is a complete mystery to me. Glossy production, horrible lyrics, unimaginative grooves and those horrible, HORRIBLE power ballads are NOT what made Aerosmith a classis band - Go buy Toys In The Attic or Rocks NOW. . . and toss this garbage in the trash where it belongs.


potential sensory overload
i'd like to listen to it while playing revolution x. get a grip on this cd and never let go 'cause it's really good. what a great game.
