Product Description
From Amazon.com
Nominated for a 1998 Grammy award for Best Rock Album and featuring the single, "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)," nominated for a Best Rock Performance, Nine Lives is Aerosmith's first album in their lucrative re-signing to Columbia Records. Together over 25 years, the Boston band has always been known for their gritty sex anthems, hard-buckling rhythms, and bic-flicking power ballads. Not nearly as flat-out rock as previous releases, Pump or Get A Grip, Nine Lives experiments with a multitude of instruments, including hammered dulcimer, Indian fiddle, and Chapman stick. This Noah's Ark approach allows the band to experiment within its rock parameters with the appropriately titled "A Taste of India." They haven't sworn off the ballads ("Fallen Angels" is what you'd expect) and they still riff like the Aerosmith of old ("Crash"). --Rob O'Connor

A good album, but not great,
By roamer (Odenton, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine Lives (Audio CD)
Nine Lives was the much anticipated follow up to Get A Grip. Aerosmith has never been content to release the same album over and over under a differnet name, but has been successful in adding new life to their sound while still maintiaining the Aerosmith sound. Nine lives is no exception.Unfortunatley, when compared to 'classic' Aerosmith like Toys in The Attic or more recent efforts like Get A Grip, Permanent Vacation, or Pump, Nine Lives falls short. It is not a bad album, containing great songs like Nine Lives and Pink, but it is not a great album either. If your Aerosmith dollar is limited, choose one of the other albums I already mentioned. If you have those already and are looking to sate your Aerosmith fix...Nine Lives is a good place to look for it.

A Sweet Taste of Aerosmith,
By Vilbs "vilbs" (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine Lives (Audio CD)
From the opening of the album, there's no doubt that Steven Tyler is back and singing his considerable lips off. Not quite as hard as some of their earlier releases, with "Nine Lives" Aerosmith makes their most radio-friendly album in years.There are several standout songs on this one, including the opening title track and the beautiful ballads "Falling in Love" and "Hole in my Soul". The exotic "Taste of India" and the strangely sexual "Pink" also received significant air-time, and the entire album fed off the success of the previous "Get a Grip" recording. My only gripe with the album is some of the weaker tracks later in the lineup... although not bad they're just not up to the level the album starts off with, and took me a few more listens to become accustomed to. Needless to say, the 3 or so weaker tracks don't detract significantly from the album, and when Aerosmith is on they are absolutely fantastic. All told, it's a very enjoyable record from a group I've come to expect a lot from over the years. Aerosmith has matured as much as they're capable of, and grown into their role as Rock'n'Roll icons. Their almost childlike enjoyment of all things carnal is definitely in evidence here, so whenever you're in need of a positive "Attitude Adjustment" just pop this disc in and let it roll.

This review is from: Nine Lives (Audio CD)
NINE LIVES is not one of AEROSMITH's finer cds. The production on this cd is pretty bad, taking away alot of their crunch, makeing the music too condensed. The group has always been open to trying different things, at least since the mid 80's, it been trying new musical styles, and instruments, and not drugs. But this time it doesn't work. TASTE OF INDIA, is one of the examples, try as they might, it just doesn't work. And its that way for most of the cd. As uneven as GET A GRIP was, this is just as bad, but there are no "super" songs to bail them out, like AMAZING, or CRYING. Not to say that all songs are bad this time, FALLIN IN LOVE IS HARD ON THE KNEES, HOLE IN MY SOUL, FALLEN ANGELS and KISS YOUR PAST GOODBYE are good songs, but that's it good, not great, and that's what this cd needs, is some great songs, to save it. PINK is "cute" the first few times you hear it, then evey 10th time there after. Better production could have saved this other wise poor sounding cd.
