Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Nominated for a 1998 Grammy award for Best Rock Album and featuring the single, "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)", nominated for a Best Rock Performance, Nine Lives is Aerosmith's first album in their lucrative re-signing to Columbia Records. Together over 25 years, the Boston band has always been known for their gritty sex anthems, hard-buckling rhythms, and bic-flicking power ballads. Not nearly as flat-out rock as previous releases, Pump or Get A Grip, Nine Lives experiments with a multitude of instruments, including hammered dulcimer, Indian fiddle, and Chapman stick. This Noah's Ark approach allows the band to experiment within its rock parameters with the appropriately titled "A Taste of India". They haven't sworn off the ballads ("Fallen Angels" is what you'd expect) and they still riff like the Aerosmith of old ("Crash"). --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album I own so far, 24 Nov 2001
This review is from: Nine Lives (Audio CD)
Despite what some people think about this album I think that it has a good mix of different styles, which means that it never gets boring. I listened to this album constantly when I was on Holiday, and it has never left my cd player since my return home, that's how good it is, you can't tire of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Their best album since 1976, 20 Jul 2001
This review is from: Nine Lives (Audio CD)
The space between 'Nine Lives' and 'Get a Grip'(their last studio album) seemed eternal but after listening to this album it all seemed worthwhile. As a fan who has collected every album in their career I was amazed that this album was so good! There are a few things that you can pick at on the album (e.g. The tedious 'Taste of India' or the bland 'Full Circle' & the obvious 'Hole In My Soul') but what we have here are the Boston Boys best work since 'Rocks'. 'Nine Lives' & 'Falling In Love' are the perfect beginning of a simply brilliant album and the rest are varied enough to simply love to listen straight through again and again. Worthy of Note are 'The Farm' & 'Crash' which are quite simply head rockers, the silky smooth 'Ain't that a bitch' and the bluesy Joe Perry vocals on 'Falling Off'. If you have a fleeting interest in Aerosmith I'd advise you to get this one!
