<p>So I did my due diligence, listened to this yesterday evening, became ill and went to sleep.</p>
<p>I feel better now, for those that care.</p>
<p>A few years ago when my local Wally World had the $5 bin, this was in the pile. I actually had it in my hand and was going to give it another chance but then I read the song titles and a wave of nausea came over me and I gently placed it back in the bin.

I didn't throw it like other people would, but treated it like a CD I owned. Anyway, sure the price was right, but I couldn't justify a cheap purchase since a majority of the songs on this album plain suck. And they still do.</p>
<p>The only song I like is the opening track which I could have sworn was not the opening track on the vinyl. I know there was one song I liked back when I had the vinyl, but thought it was on side two. Oh well, memory fades on some thing, on others (like album suckage) does not. </p>
<p>And there you have it. Maybe this is the last time I'll ever listen to this album again. That's such a treat!</p> same here and we all know how…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2017-05-12:6060463:Comment:1454192017-05-12T14:33:05.969ZScotthttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/Scott

<p>You know, if memory serves me correctly, you posted DWM on July 30th, 2010 at 7:12pm as LFAOTW #6. And my comments were very consistent with these... Except I think Ive warmed up to PV (with the caveat being no DLLAL) just a bit. And I can throw Angel into the fire as well, terrible...</p>

<p>DWM blows this one away. This is a pandering money grab and it disgusts me that I have to waste my extremely valuable time listening to this crap. Well, at least it's not a Springsteen album, but I'll still have to cleanse my listening soul with rat poison and lye when it's over.</p>

<p>Lets clear up one thing, Pump is nowhere near the bands best album. That honor goes to Rocks and then Toys, and then Get Your Wings, some may even add in the criminally underrated Draw The Line. Clearly their first era slays the comeback albums... And since were talking about their second era, we'll need one additional clarification... Done With Mirrors should really have been their comeback album, its better than this one as well. But don't take my word for it, look up the science…</p>

Done With Mirrors should really have been their comeback album, its better than this one as well. But don't take my word for it, look up the science behind it, its all true... trust me...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Oh yeah, one more last thing... Dude Looks Like A Lady should have never been recorded, its terrible, its a gimmick-song and Ive never cared for it... That said, if you remove that song from the album suddenly feels more like the Aerosmith I know and love!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Its a great album no doubt, but it hype doesn't live up to the commercial pandering it really strived for and received... Ive always felt the band never recovered from their pop-era and though I had hoped it would with Music From Another Dimension, they just continued to strive for pop success instead of being themselves...</p> Oh, boy.
