Aerosmith trying to cash in on the big hair era. The result is the by the books rockers and ballads. However, you cannot discredit efforts like "Love in an Elevator," "The Other Side," "Janie's Got a Gun," and "What it Takes."
As you see, it is pretty easy to discern the hits, the rest of the album is pretty generic with strange instrumentals thrown in between songs for faux artistic merit.
Take the money and run, average enjoyable album, nothing more than that.

This is a great Aerosmith CD. This is, in my opinion, one of Aerosmith's best albums. With classic Aero fused with a slightly different sound, it makes every track on this very well done and fun to listen to.

After a big slump in their career and a good but not great comeback record in Permanent Vacation, we get Pump. When "Young Lust" opens up, a few things come to mind: the production is beautifully mixed with badass drum tones, pounding bass, and a nice soundscape. It's a fun song too with a cheery tone and aggressive drumming. "F.I.N.E" has more driving riffs and continues the playful tone. "Love in The Elevator" is a famous hit of theirs and has funny lyrics and an epic guitar solo section. "Jamie's Got a Gun" is the grammy awarding achievement here with dark lyrics and jammed with atmosphere and tension. The song would fit in with their dark Rocks album for its morbid lyrics alone. "The Other Side" is a personal favorite with its layered soundscape and awesome vocals and basslines. "Medicine Man" is one of the more serious sounding tunes with terrific drumming and basswork and a scream that will make Rob Halford proud if a bit jealous. "What it Takes" is one of the band's better ballad closers and showcases Tyler's ageless vocals and crooning capabilities to a T. Lacking filler, beautifully produced, and stuffed with catchy tunes, Pump is one of the band's best efforts and a sadly overlooked gem in their catalog sandwiched by mediocre albums.r

If "Rocks" defined hard-rock guitar playing in the 70's, "Pump" took hard-rock albums to a new level, where hits met a new artistic height for the ultimate 70's American band.
Where "Done with Mirrors" meant the get-back-together, and "Permanent Vacation" the back-in-shape, "Pump" signified Aerosmith's greatest album since the aforementioned "Rocks" and probably their last classic to date.
Yes, they've been more commercially succesful than this ("Get a Grip") and far more experimental ("Get Your Wings", "Rocks") but surely "Pump" delivers better than all those good ole Aerosmith's trademark hard-rock.

"Love in an Elevator" and "Janie's Got a Gun" are the best. I love these songs, without them
this album wouldn't be so great... but still nice.

An album full of rock hits thanks to Jim Vallance and Desmond Child, who help them to write better songs. This is their best effort after the Joe Perry come back.
