    Aerosmith are one of those bands that critics can't cope with. "Where's the originality, the progression, the modernity and the surprise that my heavily worked pallet needs?" they wonder, before they turn away to press play on a gamin duo who fuse the latest synth with sheet metal beating and an experimental wail.

    While some of this uneven material has been reheated from past writing sessions, Aerosmith are genuinely fighting to reclaim their soul.
