This album is pretty wonderful actually. 90's Aerosmith were a different breed and a step above their 80's output for sure. Pink is damn fun, radio rock and I'm all for it. I quite enjoy Aerosmith's change in style over the years and "Nine Lives" holds a special place in my heart.

Does JamesHetfield13 spout this kind of blandly congratulatory crap on *every* bad Aerosmith album page? This album should be put in the dictionary next to "TRYING TOO HARD".

Marking Aerosmith’s return to Columbia after a phenomenal three-album run for Geffen, Nine Lives again proves the band’s taste for reinvention. David Shirley assumes the producer’s chair formerly occupied by Bruce Fairbairn, and he, along with songwriters Glen Ballard (Alanis Morrissette, Goo Goo Dolls, No Doubt) and Marti Frederiksen (Sheryl Crow, P!nk), helps guide the album towards the hard and heavy sounds of modern alternative rock. “Nine Lives,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” “The Farm,” and “Crash” bear the influence of Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots more than the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds, Aerosmith’s old standbys. The album was originally titled Vindaloo and featured Hindu-derived cover art, but the Indian theme survives mostly in the form of the hard rock raga of “Taste of India.” Despite the band’s newfound alt-rock riff mongering, “Ain’t That a Bitch,” “Hole In My Soul” and “Kiss Your Past Good-bye” are three of the band’s gutsiest ballads to date.

I'm always surprised again how good this album is, when i pick it from the shelf and play it. Had it since it was released, and listened to it a lot back in the day.

To me, their last triumph. They jumped the shark with that "Armageddon" song. It came out of a really tough period in their lives, and this is an example of how great art can be made better by less-than-enjoyable circumstances.

Not a big fan of Aerosmith but behind the painful hits they do have some strong material.

The best Aerosmith album next to Get A Grip! The cover they have on here is the original cover, it was re-released with a new cover and an extra track. Later releases included Don't wanna miss a thing on the album as well.

That original cover is cool-looking, I wish my CD had it... It contains all the pictures that are in the pages of lyrics booklet. Those, too, always contain the picture from previous page inside them somehow. I seem to remember that the artist, whoever it was, never got payed from this album art. :P

This album is one of the best albums ever, and definitely the best from the late 90's. There's only good songs on it, amazing band this is.

This kind of music is made by people who worked they guts through music, and lived by the music… Music experience, especially this long, is one thing many bands before and after them have not manage to live, and many more will not….

This is one of Areosmith's best albums! Each and every song on album has it's unique approach, and lyrics are all you can demand to be from such masters of words & emotions...... (unforgettable, great, profound, cocky, and so on ….) It is music which you have to grow to understand and appreciate ...
