Aerosmith music from another dimension!
What Music From Another Dimension is, in fact, is a combination of numerous clashing ideas that never seem to slot together, resulting in an album that changes its sound so many times that the listener does not know what to expect.
This album, however, has none of this memorability. This is a mash-up of a number of styles that attempt to recall the band's respectable glory days on albums such as Pump, but is devoid of any of the energy that packed that album out and gave the listener a reason to want to continue, having resulted in such instantly recognizable songs as Love In An Elevator and Young Lust.
The album has been a long time in the works, having fallen through due to the band's breakup with Steve Tyler, leading to a troubled recording that resulted in the fifteen songs found on here. The album is a mixture between Aerosmith's signature brash, cheesy style of hard rock and a more blues-rock oriented sound that infested the previous album, released six years beforehand. So when Steve Tyler and the rest of the crew announced that 2012 would be the year of their fifteenth studio release, Music From Another Dimension, a lot of Aerosmith began to froth at the mouth, whilst the general public remained almost oblivious, despite the fact that four singles had been released to promote said release. Their days of being on top of the pile in terms of popularity have long since died off, and yet they still have a hugely devoted fan base who swallow up everything they release with eager anticipation. Review Summary: Stay away from this album at all costs, it is an attempt to cash in on the greatness Aerosmith once possessed and fails in every respectĪerosmith are a band that has, in recent times, somewhat fell off the radar of the rock community.
