    There hasn't been this entertaining or hard-rocking an Aerosmith album since who-knows-when.

    Not every song here benefits from the Aerosmith treatment. [29 Mar 2004]
  3. Village Voice

    This suspicious move into another moribund genre resembles the frustrated strivings of a band uncertain of how to exist After Rock.
