Steven Tyler and the geriatric rockers of Aerosmith are back with their 15th studio album, “Music From Another Dimension!” The traditional trappings of Aerosmith music, hard rocking guitars and screeches from Tyler, are present on the album. With 15 albums under its belt, it is understandable that Aerosmith has run out of new angles and influences to incorporate. Fans accepting of more of the same may glean a few jamming gems from the morass of too-similar blues rock ballads. Album highlights include the electric “Lover Alot” and Southern-rock infused “Out Go the Lights.” Understandably, a bit of wear is detectable on Tyler’s overworked golden pipes. Joe Perry’s blues guitar riffs, on the other hand, have gotten better with time. Certainly Aerosmith isn’t churning out hits like “Walk This Way” anymore, but this album extends the band’s relevance for at least a bit longer.
