Get A Grip is Aerosmith’s 1993 masterpiece. The album won two GRAMMY Awards for the hit songs: “Livin’ On The Edge” and “Crazy.” It features guest appearances by Don Henley and Lenny Kravitz. Get A Grip is one of the band’s bestselling works with sales exceeding over twenty million copies. The memorable classic was named “Album of the Year” by Metal Edge and includes standouts “Amazing,” “Fever,” “Eat The Rich,” “Livin’ On The Edge,” “Crazy” and “Cryin’”.

Coming on the heels of the commercially and artistically successful Pump, the fitfully entertaining Get a Grip pales against its predecessor’s musical diversity. But it’s not for lack of trying. In fact, Aerosmith try too hard, making a stab at social commentary (“Livin’ on the Edge”) while keeping adolescent fans in their corner with their trademark raunch-rock (“Get a Grip” and “Eat the Rich”), as well as having radio-ready hit ballads (“Cryin’,” “Amazing,” and “Crazy”). The problem is, it’s a studied performance — it sounds like what an Aerosmith album should sound like. Most of the album sounds good; it’s just that there isn’t much beneath the surface.
