At times there are flashes of it, but more often than not, it sounds like the same overproduced commercial claptrap they’ve been trotting out for a long, long time. Jack Douglas, producer of the band’s best records, was back on board. I was hoping for the revitalized Aerosmith. Truth is, though, Music from Another Dimension kinda sucks. I got in fights with people who had the audacity to say Aerosmith sucks. In high school, I was routinely late for school if Aerosmith were on MTV or the radio because I wouldn’t leave until the song was over.

At one point, I probably had a different Aerosmith T-shirt for every day of the week. My 11th commandment, once upon a time, was “thou shalt have no rock band over Aerosmith.” I’ve waited on a store to open to buy a new Aerosmith record. You see, I’m an Aerosmith fanboy in the worst way. I think it speaks volumes that after hearing a few advance tracks, I had this record in hand for three days before I ever listened to it.
