Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It's difficult to separate Aerosmith from their glorious/inglorious history--one that's seen more revivals than West Side Story. For better or worse, the quintet carry preconceptions that are impossible to shake. Thus Just Push Play begs the question: If this 12-song set was the product of a bunch of upstarts, would it cause much of a commotion? The answer: Absolutely! Working with co-producers / song collaborators Marti Frederiksen and Mark Knudson, Aerosmith have forged an album that gracefully fuses 1970s hard-rock grit with contemporary gloss. The pop-infused likes of the sweeping single "Jaded" and the insistent "Sunshine" best demonstrate the formula that Tyler, Perry, and company have settled on for now, as gliding strings surge over Tyler's patented screech and the no-nonsense grind of the four instrumentalists. Mailed-in lyrics and a few self-conscious nods to the times mar Just Push Play, but the pleasures to be had overwhelm its deficiencies. --Steven Stolder


CD Description

Taking the production helm for the first time in the band'snearly 30-year career, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have comeup with a lucky 13th album that fuses the band's rock & roll punch with more contemporary nuances. The chugging title track is a sassy shuffle featuring Tyler scatting over stuttering beats, meaty guitar riffs and snatches of "Walk This Way" while the clattering "Outta Your Head" features a perfectmarriage of loops, scratching, and Perry's chunky chords.
Elsewhere, the leadoff single, "Jaded", lays it on heavy with sitar-sounding wah-wah guitar and string arrangements that toughen the song's impact. Periodically the band's Beatles influence pops up, from Tyler's "Magical Mystery Tour"-flavored phrasing and background harmonies on the swaggering "Trip Hoppin'" and the mid-tempo "Luv Lies", to the George Martin-influenced trumpet fanfare sprinkled throughout the hardhitting "Under My Skin". Despite three decades of hard living, Aerosmith's train keeps a rollin' on.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album But..., 20 Feb 2005
This review is from: Just Push Play (Audio CD)
Ok First Things First, Aerosmith are my favourite band... And i love this album! However its not really Aerosmiths style.. I could listen to this album all day! Standout tracks are "Jaded" "Outta Your Head" "Avant Garden" "Face" and "Luv Lies". I love this album but its not Aerosmith... If you like pop/rock buy this album but if you want Aerosmith's Style buy "Pump" "Toys In The Attic" "Rocks" or the New album "Honkin on Bobo" :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Bit of a letdown..., 8 Aug 2004
By clink (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Push Play (Audio CD)
This record marks the band's entry into the new millenium but tries a little too hard to imbue a pseudo-cyber-rock feel to proceedings, which does the band no favours (admittedly it does work fairly well on track 9 'Outta Your Head'...but not so elsewhere). There are a few good songs on the CD - the title track jumps to mind as does 'Jaded' and 'Trip Hoppin'. But the remainder is unfortunately all filler and no manner of production values can hide it...

An album for hardcore Aerosmith fans rather than newcomers...

2.0 out of 5 stars Run. Save yourselves., 10 Jun 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Just Push Play (Audio CD)
I had heard (and read) good things about this album, so I finally decided to get it - in spite of the 80s Heavy Metal cover from Hell. I have almost all of Aerosmith's previous records, after all.

I didn't have "Just Push Play", though. And guess what? I had it for about a week, listen to it, tried to give a chance. And then I threw it away. My CD shelves are overstuffed enough as it is, I don't have room for CDs that I'm never going to listen to again anyway.
There so many forgettable (or downright awful) songs here, and the production, which can't decide if it wants to bury the songs in grunge-like noise or present them as sleek 21st century pop-rock numbers, is terrible. I like dirty electric guitars as much as anyone, but I prefer it when they're actually playing something resembling a riff, or at least a rhythm of some kind...not just roaring away without aim.
This album gives me a headache. And no, I'm not 65, I was barely born when Aerosmith was formed.

The tuneful, hook-laden (and relatively cleanly produced) "Jaded" is really good, "Fly Away From Here" was a hit, so some people must have liked that one as well, and "Luv Lies" and the semi-acoustic "Face" are at least listenable.
The rest? Yuck. Boring pseudo-rap ("Outta My Head"), weird "Strawberry Fields"-like vocals ("Drop Dead Gorgeous"), and dull, predictable, noisy, riff-less, hook-less garage rock (most everything else). And the lousiest production ever to marr an Aerosmith album. Is this album meant to be played in techno clubs or what?

These guys must have stolen the name "Aerosmith", pretending to be the same band that recorded "Toys In The Attic", "Rocks", and "Draw The Line". And "Permanent Vacation" and "Pump" for that matter.
I'm sure a lot of people will love this album, but I doubt if very many of them are fans of 70s Aerosmith as well.
