Why I’m Still Disappointed With Aerosmith’s ‘Music From Another Dimension’

Far from a reinvention, ‘Music From Another Dimension’ arrived 10 years ago this week as another rehash of ideas from some of Aerosmith’s weakest records.

Ozzy Osbourne - 'Patient Number 9' (2022)

Ozzy Osbourne – ‘Patient Number 9’ (2022)

Released 30 years ago today, ‘Revenge’ is the one non-makeup Kiss record that belongs in the conversation with their best work.

Gloryhammer, “Fly Away” (2022): One Track Mind

Gloryhammer’s Sozos Michael is probably better from a technical standpoint than Thomas Winkler. But the better technical singer is not always a better fit.

Zeal and Ardor - 'Zeal & Ardor' (2022)

Zeal and Ardor – ‘Zeal & Ardor’ (2022)

The subversive nature of Zeal & Ardor’s music is sure to be a turn off for some, but for the rest of us, it’s a refreshingly original take.

Aerosmith – '1971: The Road Starts Hear' (2022)

Aerosmith – ‘1971: The Road Starts Hear’ (2022)

It’s refreshing to hear this version of Aerosmith without the glitz and glam that they became known for later on.
