    Much of the 'Smith's music is reassuringly familiar, barely changed over their previous 12 albums, a mix of loose-jointed Stones raunch and vast power ballads impressive enough to bring out the 40-something in all of us.
  2. Q Magazine
    60
    Yet while the sound of these songs is often great, the bad news is that most of the songs themselves leave little lasting impression.

    Fans of Aerosmith, and fans of good old Rock Music will love it.
  5. PopMatters
    50
    Despite the fact that some of this album makes me Just Push Skip rather than follow the instructions of the title track, there are numerous moments of pure Aerosmith brilliance that justify tolerance of the weaker songs.
  6. The A.V. Club
    50
    The acceptable outweighs the embarrassing.

It's funny, I think the band has one view of themselves (masters of rock) and listeners have another view (that they are sometimes masters of rock) but since they have done quite a few appearances in movies going back to the Wayne's World era they are characterized by the media as kind of as a nerd band when I think they are capable of shaking the foundations of a place-if they are trying and they seem to be trying on this album. If ya haven't heard it you should give it a spin.… Full Review »
