Eat the rich is my favorite Aerosmith song so I really like it for that

Seasoned vets reminiscing about their old drug days yet still going on and on about sex, full-on rock n roll balladry with all the trimmings almost overshadowing the effortlessly boogie-worthy fun and hard stuff, Steven Tyler's incredible wails, huge+great sound. Lyrics are dubious at times, but they do have a knack for convincing: "Don't get deep / shut up and dance."

There are no rules. Obscene megabucks, boring rehab, song doctors, turning 40, minuscule interest in doing something new--nothing stands between the world's greatest hard rock band and their best album since Rocks. The drugs long gone, they show a strong professional commitment to rebellion and an undiminished relish for the fleshpots. If the song doctors prescribed "I'd rather be O.D.in' on the/Crack of her ass," not to mention "It's like gettin' head from a guillotine," they were worth every point. And though at first you may miss the killer cut, the "My Fist Your Face" or "Janie's Got a Gun," in fact the midtempo, classic-rock, love-as-pain "Cryin'" should prove irresistible to anyone who doesn't equate good art with doing something new. A-

The majority of Aerosmith's output is full of their signature flare whether or not the music delivers, and that statement can be applied here. Get a Grip has the experimental edge of Permanent Vacation, but while there's some worthwhile tunes here, it lacks the invigorated sound of Pump. "Eat The Rich" is a terrific opener, with a sleezy groove and wise-cracking lyrics and signature guitarwork. The t/t is another fun tune with an interesting solo section, "Fever" has a driving rhythm like "Young Lust" but isn't very interesting, "Livin' on The Edge" was a successful single that took a crack at social issues but is bland in delivery, and the other singles are decent if not amazing. The production values are first class, the experimentation is welcomed, and the album starts off pretty well, but Get a Grip is a stepdown from Pump that led to a slippery slope of mediocrity that they never recovered from.

Not one of Aerosmith's best if I do say so myself. I mean, come on, there's an utter on the cover of the album. Do you think this will be the best album ever? NO.
