NINE LIVES
marks Aerosmith's return to Columbia Records, the label for which it had
its first round of stardom in the 1970s, and the label with which the
band nearly slid off the rock and roll map altogether in the 1980s.
Columbia shelled out a lot of money to woo back the now-bigger-than-ever
band, and ends up getting exactly the kind of over-the-top pop-rock it
was paying for. Working with producer Kevin Shirley (Silverchair,
Journey), the seemingly ageless combo from Boston has made another
record overflowing with sexual innuendo ("Pink", "Falling In Love [Is
Hard On The Knees]"), power ballads ("Fallen Angels," "Hole In My Soul")
and hard-hitting riffs ("Nine Lives," "Crash").
Continuing
its recent fascination with sounds alien to hard rock (didja notice the
Polynesian log drums on 1993's GET A GRIP?), Aerosmith dabbles with
Indian culture on NINE LIVES. You can see it in the colorful packaging
of the album, and hear it on "Taste Of India," which picks up where Led
Zeppelin's classic "Kashmir" left off. The culturally confused epic
features qawwali-esque vocalizing (a la Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), a
sarangi (an Indian fiddle) and, of course, some old-fashioned rock and
roll.

Stars (out of 5) - ...Aerosmith can be relied on to temper
their...machismo with plenty of humor, heart and artistic ingenuity...
Rolling Stone (03/20/1997)4 Stars (out of 5) -
...something of a grand opus....orchestrations galore....with this
general riot of itchy solos, raucous innuendo, violent rhythm-pistons
and smeared-on harmonies, Aerosmith haven't fallen far short of the
mighty PUMP.
