1987 Aerosmith
From there, it was the music that got me hooked on Aerosmith. It started with the videos for me, that got me reinterested in Aerosmith. Another strong album, from a hard rock icon.


Solid 80's album from Aerosmith
It would have been real easy for Aerosmith to do the same,but somehow they resisted temptation. Back in 1986-87,a lot of popular 70's bands like Kiss and Judas Priest were making pop metal albums with mixed results. In keeping with the times,Permanent Vacation does have a very slick,polished production. The songs are pretty good. This album contains the staple hits,Rag Doll,Dude Looks Like a Lady,and the semi ballad,Angel but there are other good ones as well.

Magic Touch is an excellent rocker that will not disappoint along with Hangman Jury with its catchy harmonica lines. Girl Keeps Comin Apart and St. John sounded good too. I'm Down is a rockin cover of a lesser known Beatles song.

Permanent Vacation is straight ahead hard rock with the tried and true formula that made Aerosmith famous and helped to get them back on track after the subpar results of the previous album and is sure to please most Aerosmith fans. The next album,1989's Pump is equally as good,but Permanent Vacation is the best album they had released since the 70's.


Aerosmith renaissance
Their next three were just as good. Done With Mirrors was like crawling before they could walk, but their second album back from rock n' roll hell (drug addiction) hit the ground running.


after a mediocre comeback, this one rocked hard
It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. While the previous album marked Aerosmith's return to sobriety and reunion as a band, it was lukewarm.

This album rocked. The band pushed its sound out into some new direction, polished its older styles, and rocked its way back towards the top. "Dude looks like a lady" was fun, "Angel" was a great one for slow dancing. . . even the offbeat tracks were fun to listen to. The album showed that Aerosmith did not take itself too seriously.


A strong comeback
Some say that cats have nine lives, well Aerosmith got two ! This cd marks the beginning of the second era of the band. Yes Aerosmith is back on the track with this realease. The band got a lot a airplay with this one (many hits) with songs like Rag Doll, Dude, and Angel, but you'll discover some very good songs like Heart's done time, St-John and The Movie to name a few. I would recommand this release to anyone who loves rock music. .
