Not your average aerosmith - By: Angharad Evans, 30 Jun 2006 
My friend lent me his Just Push Play album in exchange for my Nine Lives. To begin with i was slightly dissapointed, it didn't seem to have songs which were as sleek as their previous hits, or quite as edgy as those on the Nine Lives album.
HOWEVER, like every good album its a grower. The albums i want in my cd collection are not those which i love straight away but get bored with (despite the majority opinion i find pink floyd - the walll boring & predictable) i want those which everytime i play them sound better & better.
If you like aerosmith you'll love this album, If you have an eccleptic taste in music you'll love this album. I think its great!
brilliant - By: Farran Chandler, 12 Mar 2006 at first it took a while to get used to but after a while it 'grows' on you & it gets better & better with each time you listen to it. i only bought it at first because of 'jaded' but after you'ved listened to the whole album the other tracks become fantastic
A Great Album But... - By: , 20 Feb 2005 Ok First Things First, Aerosmith are my favourite band... And i love this album! However its not reallly Aerosmiths style.. I could listen to this album alll day! Standout tracks are "Jaded" "Outta Your Head" "Avant Garden" "Face" & "Luv Lies". I love this album but its not Aerosmith... If you like pop/rock buy this album but if you want Aerosmith's Style buy "Pump" "Toys In The Attic" "Rocks" or the New album "Honkin on Bobo" :)
Bit of a letdown... - By: clink, 08 Aug 2004 
This record marks the band's entry into the new millenium but tries a little too hard to imbue a pseudo-cyber-rock feel to proceedings, which does the band no favours (admittedly it does work fairly well on track 9 'Outta Your Head'...but not so elsewhere). There are a few good songs on the CD - the title track jumps to mind as does 'Jaded' & 'Trip Hoppin'. But the remainder is unfortunately alll filler & no manner of production values can hide it...
An album for hardcore Aerosmith fans rather than newcomers...
Run. Save yourselves. - By: Docendo Discimus, 10 Jun 2004 
I had heard (and read) good things about this album, so I finallly decided to get it - in spite of the 80s Heavy Metal cover from Hell. I have almost alll of Aerosmith's previous records, after alll.
I didn't have "Just Push Play", though. And guess what? I had it for about a week, listen to it, tried to give a chance. And then I threw it away. My CD shelves are overstuffed enough as it is, I don't have room for CDs that I'm never going to listen to again anyway.
There so many forgettable (or downright awful) songs here, & the production, which can't decide if it wants to bury the songs in grunge-like noise or present them as sleek 21st century pop-rock numbers, is terrible. I like dirty electric guitars as much as anyone, but I prefer it when they're actuallly playing something resembling a riff, or at least a rhythm of some kind...not just roaring away without aim.
This album gives me a headache. And no, I'm not 65, I was barely born when Aerosmith was formed.
The tuneful, hook-laden (and relatively cleanly produced) "Jaded" is reallly good, "Fly Away From Here" was a hit, so some people must have liked that one as well, & "Luv Lies" & the semi-acoustic "Face" are at least listenable.
The rest? Yuck. Boring pseudo-rap ("Outta My Head"), weird "Strawberry Fields"-like vocals ("Drop Dead Gorgeous"), & dull, predictable, noisy, riff-less, hook-less garage rock (most everything else). And the lousiest production ever to marr an Aerosmith album. Is this album meant to be played in techno clubs or what?
These guys must have stolen the name "Aerosmith", pretending to be the same band that recorded "Toys In The Attic", "Rocks", & "Draw The Line". And "Permanent Vacation" & "Pump" for that matter.
I'm sure a lot of people will love this album, but I doubt if very many of them are fans of 70s Aerosmith as well.
