Genre: American pop/rock
Places I remember: Kerryn Hope's CD collection donated to moi
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Sunshine (it's catchy with Alice In Wonderland references)
Gear costume: Just Push Play, Jaded
Active compensatory factors: Apart from the crappy cover this is a superior Aerosmith album. Tyler sings like Tyler should sing, Perry plays guitar like he should play and so on...
That said, I'm not a big fan of Aerosmith. I was gifted this CD and it's the only one of theirs I have. So, when I say 'superior', I'm kinda guessing as I don't have much context to compare it with.
Why is that? Apart from being heavily derivative (the Jagger/Richards poses? Please), I think it's something to do with their brash musical style - not a lot of soul and feel - just glitch and decadent glamour - yer archetypal OTT American rockers.
In hindsight, that cover absolutely sums them up.
Where do they all belong? I used to own Pump. That was okay, but I sold it. Maybe a Greatest Hits compilation is your best bet - but they all appear to be dodgy live collections. And do you really need Aerosmith in your collection?
