Get A Grip 2LP
Coming on the heels of the commercially and artistically successful Pump, the fitfully entertaining Get a Grip doesn't match its predecessor's musical diversity, but it's not for lack of trying. In fact, Aerosmith try too hard, making a stab at social commentary ('Livin' on the Edge') while keeping adolescent fans in their corner with their trademark raunch-rock ('Get a Grip' and 'Eat the Rich'), as well as having radio-ready hit ballads ('Cryin,' 'Amazing,' and 'Crazy'). It might be a studied performance, but since the album sounds good, many listeners will be willing to overlook those flaws and simply enjoy the ride.
