Guide Review - Devil's Got A New Disguise: The Very Best Of Aerosmith
For starters, there are two new songs. "Sedona Sunrise" is an almost-country almost-ballad that suggests perhaps the band is looking for a way back to radio airplay. "Devil's Got a New Disguise" is the Aerosmith we know and love: guitar-driven hard rock with suggestive lyrics like
"She was so hot, so cool and nasty
Believe it or not here's what she asked me...
'If you need love with no condition
Let's Do the Do honey I'm on a mission'
Word on the street is that there will be an all new Aerosmith album coming out in the next few months. It's about time. It has been almost three years since Honkin' on Bobo. This CD should help tide you over until the new album comes out.
It has been 35 years since the bad boys from Boston shook off their "Rolling Stones knock off" label and took the first step in a long and successful career. Anyone who appreciates the significance of that accomplishment will appreciate this CD.
