Customer Reviews 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. . You can see a complete list of all Aerosmith discography, or go back to the Aerosmith tabs
