The aptly named Get A Grip saw Aerosmith go for broke and fully grasp the brass ring that they had been circling closely since their reformation in the mid 80s. An album that is radio-ready but still with a foot in a steel toe-capped boot ready to kick your ass when you least expect it, Get A Grip saw Aerosmith at a moment in time as they were transitioning away from being a rock band with pop tendencies to a pop rock group.

Wow, its been a few years since I heard this album! lol From what I can remember of it, it has some good songs, but I found it a bit weak compared its predecessor, "Pump". xD

Livin' On The Edge, what a song.

Agreed! It is the best on that album, and is amongst their all time best tracks. Even if it had been on "Pump", it would have been one of the highlights. xD

The last of what I like to call "The successful album trilogy" by Aerosmith. Unfortunately, and I know this will rub some fans up the wrong way, I consider this album to be the weakest of the three-ALTHOUGH it has some of the band's best songs to date. I mean 'Eat the rich' and 'Livin' on the edge' are absolute classics and beautifully written, and few would argue that 'Crazy' is one of the best ballads in the band's career. But for me there's just too many moments where the band come across as uninspired, particularly with the title track, 'Flesh' and 'Gotta love it'. Aside from that, a few of the songs are stretched out unnecessarily. 'Livin on the edge' is a beautiful song, but I would love it even more if it didn't have that rather repetitive outro in the last minute or so. The same problem I think affects 'Cryin' and 'Fever', but that's just me.
