HMV Review

Coming on the heels of the commercially and artistically successful Pump, the fitfully entertaining Get a Grip doesn't match its predecessor's musical diversity, but it's not for lack of trying. In fact, Aerosmith try too hard, making a stab at social commentary (Livin' on the Edge) while keeping adolescent fans in their corner with their trademark raunch-rock (Get a Grip and Eat the Rich), as well as having radio-ready hit ballads (Cryin', Amazing, and Crazy). It might be a studied performance, but since the album sounds good, many listeners will be willing to overlook those flaws and simply enjoy the ride. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

    87年に「パーマネント.バケーション」にて完全復活を果たし、その勢いは 次作「パンプ」と本作まで見事なまでに継続されている。復活作「パーマネント〜」から本作までは名プロデューサーのブルース.フェアバーンが担当しており彼等の魅力を余す事無く引き出している。本作は一度、完成に近づいた段階で大半の曲をボツにして再度、作り直したとゆう経緯を持つ作品で メンバーもこの作品はエアロ版「Sgt.Peppers...」とビートルズの名作を引き合いに出すほど熱を入れた渾身の一枚である!個人的には本作以降の作品は「あれれ...」ってゆう感じの作品が続いているので、今年発表予定の新作は是非、「パンプ」と本作の間を行くような作品に仕上がってくれる事を願わずにいられない!!

    アメリカで1位、そして700万枚。H、Jといったバラードが大ヒット。頂点を極めた作品。

    これ、ギター・サウンドが本当いいんだよねぇ…前二作はバランス指向で曲はヒット性抜群でメロも良かったんだけど…ちょっとエッジに欠ける部分も多かった。ライブ感が凄く増してるし、80年代の華やかで軽めな音から、90年代の硬質でドライな音にシフトしている印象だな。単純比較でどちらが好みか決めるのは難しいけど、ラフさを前面に出したこのアルバムの方がよりアグレッシブな雰囲気を漂わせている。
