Get a Grip [Remaster] by Aerosmith

Pros: some really good rock and cool lyrics
Cons: some filler

When I was in seventh grade, I learned that, lo and behold, there are other radio stations out there besides the ones my parents listen to. I also learned that MTV isn’t as bad as I was taught it was (at least it wasn’t when they played music). So...

Pros: Cryin’, Amazing, Livin’ On The Edge, variety of songs
Cons: Boogie Man, Line Up, Shut Up And Dance

Boy, does this CD bring back memories! I was first introduced to Aerosmith’s - Get a Grip when I was in high school. I was a member of the color guard and dance team throughout my years in high school. In my freshman year, our choreographer...

Pros: High energy, emotionally charged, phenomenal musicianship
Cons: Not quite as classic as some other Aerosmith songs.

Back in 1993 another album was released by the phenomenal band Aerosmith titled Get A Grip. This album features some wonderful rock ballads, some chord driven grooves and a little bit of everything in between. Aerosmith can be accused of a lot of...

Pros: Livin, Amazing, the music to Fever, Shut Up and Dance
Cons: see review

For my money, Aerosmith was one of the three or four best bands on earth in the 1970s. From their chunky, blues influenced guitar riffs, to the yowling vocals of Steven Tyler, to their perfectly put together ballads like Seasons of ...

Pros: Very strong mainstream rock record
Cons: A couple weak tracks

INTRO

I’ve always been more of a casual Aerosmith fan, and only really of their later material (meaning Permanent Vacation to present). When Get A Grip was originally released, I bought it immediately, and promptly...

Pros: Some great underrated rock tunes; musically, the guys sound great.
Cons: Some admittedly weak pop numbers.

To this critic, Aerosmith’s Get A Grip remains one of the most unfairly maligned albums in recent memory. People butcher it! They call it pop, they call it sell-out, they call it soft. The only backup anybody has for any of these allegations is...

Pros: Eat The Rich and Fever
Cons: Too many ballads, too much filler.

"Unless you're a fanatic I'd say pretty much forget anything they released after Pump."

That above quote is from my review of Pump. Aerosmith's 1990 masterpiece. I referred to it in the title of the review as "Aerosmith Mach II At Their Peak"....

Pros: A couple decent songs; features 4 hit singles.
Cons: Mostly boring and exhuasting.

Ever since PUMP, Aerosmith (although mostly just Joe Perry) swears that every new album coming out will be a return to their raw rock'n'roll "roots". Of course, as has been the case with "Get a Grip" (1993), "Nine Lives" (1998) and "Just Push Play"...

Pros: everything about this album: the lyrics, the music, the cow on the front
Cons: objectionable phrases?

Get A Grip, released in 1993, is just another great Aerosmith album (most of them are!). Aerosmith is a band that spends a lot of time in the studio making sure that you get the best album they can put out. They personally put a lot into what they do,...

Pros: Lots of hits, amusing artwork, band sound comfortable and confident.
Cons: Not nearly as ballsy as the previous album.

There was an unprecedented four year gap between the release of previous album, "Pump" and "Get a Grip". This was the last studio album recorded for Geffen and Aerosmith knew that they had reached the top of their popularity at this point. Amazingly this...

Pros: Great songwriting and guitar tone
Cons: Too many ballads

(Edited 5-30-00) This album opens up with a cool little rap intro that leaves the listener wondering just what is in store. Once again, Aerosmith uses whatever means necessary to achieve a unique sound with each album. After a four year stint between ...

Pros: songs, cover, everything, AEROSMITH!!
Cons: IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS ALBUM YOU ARE A COMMUNIST

First of all, I'd like to say that Aerosmith is perhaps my favorite true band and one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Anyways, about their album Get A Grip, it is a definite transition into modern rock from more classic rock, yet...

Pros: A few very good tracks, with great vocals
Cons: Quite a few "throw away tracks"

Aerosmith has proven themselves to be America's premier rock band over the past quarter century. Releasing classic rock albums like "Toys in the Attic" has established Aerosmith as a household word. This album, "Get a Grip" adds to...

Pros: Contains Many of Aerosmith's Greatest Hits!
Cons: None

I've always been a huge Aerosmith fan, along with millions of others, I'm sure. So I wouldn't be so farfetched to say this is an outstanding CD that everyone should have!

Get A Grip contains some of Aerosmith's best hits like "Livin' On...

Pros: One of their best albums
Cons: .

You know, now when I think about it Aerosmith is another one of those bands that no matter what they do, it's going to be good. I can't believe they've only had one number one single.

Get a Grip is a great blend of their fast rock style...
