<title>Expectations for new Aerosmith?</title>
<description> Since Aerosmith has been saying they will release a new album this year with Jack Douglas producing, does anyone think they might get back to their roots?

I have hopes that they will make a decent record, as the last several discs they've released have left me cold.</description><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,879838,879838#msg-879838</link><lastBuildDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:46:22 +1000</lastBuildDate>

They can take some risks as they covered quite a lot of stylistic ground,espescially on the newer releases (after reforming). but I'm all for them leaning a bit farther back on the classic material in style for a new cd. THat'd be way cool! T]]></description>

There are plenty of fans disliking the new VH. And they couldn't have presented a more kick-ass return. Anything less and everyone would be wishing they never reformed. Can't really compare 'em to Queen. They were always flying all over the map in style. Their later output sucks for it,IMO. I love the new as well as older 'Smith material. Something perhaps in-between both eras would be great! I really love the band tho-so I'm just hoping it's quality,no matter what era they lean on. T]]></description>

I say that cause they had kind of a resurgence with Permenant Vacation (which i hate) and Pump which is not my kind of Aerosmith. Like nutter, i hope to be plesantly surprised.]]></description>

<title>The Van Halen factor</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,879838,879948#msg-879948</link><description><![CDATA[ True enough.....but Van Halen very shrewdly got away with it by revisiting songs that were shelved from their early days. Althpough they have always been the kind of band that can, and sometimes do, put out just about anything. They have the freedom to do that. Van Halen could have released an album of Blue Grass and I don't think there'd have been too much of a backlash.<br /><br />Along with Queen I think Van Halen are the only other hard rock band that had the ability and the fan based goodwill to do whatever they wanted.<br /><br />Aerosmith don't have that luxury.]]></description>

So can Aerosmith. Sometimes a band has to come full circle,and maybe it's Aero's turn. Good sign with Douglas at the production console. They obviously WANT to go in &amp; recapture some old magic. As per the last 3-4 releases-- I like 'em all,including the much-maligned Just Push Play. It may have more updated production/mixing twists,but it's still Aerosmith tried &amp; true that stretched their boundaries just a tad more. I hope they continue writing with Marti Fredrikson. The guy's a damn fine writer AND primo producer. Sorta wish they'd use him at the board. Crystal clear-everything I've heard from him production-wise. Either way--here's hoping the band delivers a great album! T]]></description>

I haven't liked a thing they've done since Get A Grip, and I didn't like most of that.<br /><br />They are a shadow of their former selves and Steven Tyler is verging on caricature status.]]></description>

I only hope that the band will make a record that they like and are proud of, rather than what they think the public, the record label, their handlers, etc. wants. My personal attitude is wait and see what comes out, if anything.]]></description>

Too bad Joe Perry cant write a decent riff anymore, as witnessed on his last couple solo records. Perhaps the rest of the crew can prop him up.]]></description>
