Coming on the heels of the commercially and artistically successful Pump, the fitfully entertaining Get a Grip pales against 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").
The problem is, it's a studied performance -- it sounds like what an Aerosmith album should sound like.
Most of the album sounds good; it's just that there isn't much beneath the surface.
