Aerosmith are regarded as true legends in the classic rock pantheon. As famous for their backstage escapades and interpersonal drama as for their meticulously layered production, bar rock bangers, and multi-platinum power ballads, the band managed to stay in the spotlight for at least four decades, no small feat indeed. Does that mean they've earned the respect of this podcast's intrepid hosts? Dream on. Seasoned rock author and interviewer Martin Popoff joins the fray to take on Aeroesmith's most recent and least successful album, 2012's Music From Another Dimension. This 70 minute slog garnered extremely poor reviews and sold a paltry 63,000 copies, a far cry from their previous platinum selling album Just Push Play. What led to this fall from grace? Was it the fact that it took six years to make? Was it the fact that the band members hated each other so much that they wouldn't even visit a hideously injured Steven Tyler in traction? Or is it just that Aerosmith sucks, has always sucked, and they're finally getting what they deserve? Find out this week on Make It Stop, part of the Pantheon Podcast Network!
