Joe Perry--Sweetzerland Manifesto

Amazon has samples of the whole album, and they all sound as bad as the song above.
I was really looking forward to this before, but after hearing it I will skip this one.

I will grab it, because I am a major Aerosmith fan, hopefully it grow on me...like a wart

It's a bizarre track and an even more bizarre choice to open the album with it. It should be last track so the albums just fades out with it.

The album's title is weird too, but I'm not too fussed by it. I'm sure it means something to Joe, so whatever.

I think that track morphs into the next song. Overall, the songs are ok but nothing spectacular, Aye Aye Aye with Zander is pretty good but feels unfinished.

I played it through a few times this morning and it's kinda disappointing. Nothing really stands out or stays with me after it's over. Perhaps that will change over time, but so far, this new album falls flat.

Kind of like the last few Aerosmith albums.

Joe's last 2 solo albums sounded like songs written with Aerosmith in mind (for the most part). When that didn't happen, he just recorded them himself. Now that Aerosmith is on hiatus or whatever, this new album seems a little more experimental or something. Like he can write whatever he wants without being pigeon-holed as "the Aerosmith guitarist".

Some would say that's the very definition of a solo album. A chance to spread out from the norm. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Right now, my opinion is that it doesn't. Maybe that will change.

I was hoping it would be more in line with the Joe Perry project albums.
