Music From Another Dimension!

About

Music from Another Dimension! is the 15th studio album by American rock band Aerosmith, released on November 6, 2012 by Columbia Record. This is their first studio album since 2004's Honkin' on Bobo and the first to feature all-new material since 2001's Just Push Play, marking the longest gap between Aerosmith's studio album. The album was released in a single CD edition, along with a deluxe version. It is the last album in Aerosmith's current recording contract with Sony/Columbia Records and was produced by Jack Dougla, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Marti Frederiksen (three tracks). The album includes the singles "Legendary Child," "Lover Alot," "What Could Have Been Love," and "Can't Stop Lovin' You". The album has many references to Aerosmith's older album, such as the use of "Train Kept A Rollin'" in "Street Jesu," and the use of "Mama Kin" in Can't Stop Loving' You. Perry says that 2004's Honkin' on Bobo was actually supposed to be this album, but the energy wasn't right at the time. However, like Honkin' on Bobo, Perry says that this album was recorded with "live, in-the-room excitement". He also says that, like with their albums from the 1970s (and unlike their albums from the 1980s and 1990s), he found himself going back and listening to the completed tracks constantly. He also revealed that the album does indeed include older material, including a riff that is at least 20 years old, stating that it may end up in several song, "in a mini-opera kind of way". During the recording proce, Perry described the sound of the music as " sounds like dinosaurs eating cars - musical dinosaurs with sick beat. Is that a good thing?" .
