Legendary Aerosmith Adds Dimension To Its Legacy

Upon hearing "Legendary Child", the first single from Aerosmith's upcoming "Music From Another Dimension", I wholeheartedly say to the eager masses that the party's back on. It's easily got more firepower than anything from "Just Push Play". Who really cares if the guys are in their 60s? We should all have our rock mojo cranked up to eleven at that age. Joey Kramer is still a blistering drummer. Joe Perry is still a psychotic axe man. Steven Tyler hasn't lost his touch with rock poetry regardless of how high school corny it might be. Some might say they're past their prime but I don't agree. Every artist needs some time to recharge his or her battery. "Legendary Child" is one hell of a juggernaut. For me you have to go back to their initial late '80s resurgence to locate this level of octane. Upon first listen you'll walk away feeling like a hurricane just ran into you. If the rest of the album is this hook-driven I'll snatch it up in seconds flat.
