Independent review

Nine lives - the 12th album of the Boston team and the 5st after returning from oblivion. For me, this is the last real Aerosmith album — the continuation of the phenomenal success of the end of the 80s-beginning of the 90s, when the reunion surpassed the main career in strength, having in turn become it. I completely disagree with many critics who excessively lower its merits. It differs slightly from a pair of previous LPs, but this cannot be called a step backward. All tracks on the album are written by the Tyler-Perry duet with the involvement of professional authors like Desmond Child and Marti Frederiksen, in order to hone the hit-potential of rock and roll. The dirty sound developed by Kevin Shirley and the group itself only adds early drive to the recording. Listen to Nine Lives and Something's Gotta Give — this sound the group hadn't had since the 70s, and how can one do without excellent ballads - Hole in My Soul I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (the famous soundtrack to the film "Armageddon" came as a bonus track on many editions), well, typical hits - Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees) and Pink. As a result — the 1 place on Billboard, even if critics don't care about it (who disgrace themselves, by the way, by giving the track Pink a Grammy for best vocal rock performance by a duo or group). In essence, this is the correct Aerosmith album with its own sound and zest.
