Review - :
Give {$Aerosmith} credit for not only realizing something was wrong after {^Nine Lives} relatively flat-lined, but deciding to do something about it. Ditching the outside producers who initially liberated but eventually straitjacketed them, {$Steve Tyler} and {$Joe Perry} seized control of the boards, working with the assistance of {$Mark Hudson} and {$Marti Frederiksen}. (Forever the {$Stones} fanatics, {$Tyler} and {$Perry} dubbed this crew the Boneyard Boys, just like how {$Mick}-n-{$Keef} are the Glimmer Twins.) So, this isn't really a full-fledged band affair and {$Hudson} and {$Frederiksen}'s fingerprints are all over the place, but that doesn't matter since the end result is tighter, savvier, and better than anything since {^Pump}. It's still far from perfect, however, since it suffers from a surfeit of memorable material, and the group members' steadfast refusal to act their age results in a couple of embarrassing slips into stodginess (the "f*ckin' A" chorus on the title track, a song improbably titled {&"Trip Hoppin',"} or the ludicrous {&"Avant Garden"}). These mean that the record doesn't come close to matching the twin comebacks of {^Permanent Vacation} and {^Pump}, but it's a sleek, classicist {\hard rock} record that sounds good -- better than {$Aerosmith} had sounded in nearly a decade, as a matter of fact, particularly when the group gets a hook as tuneful as that of {&"Jaded."} {$Aerosmith} sounds good enough on {^Just Push Play} that it almost makes you forgive the {~Heavy Metal} refugee on the front cover, a sexy robot illustration that looks far more out of date than the music sounds. [The Japanese release includes two songs not found on the original -- {&"Won't Let You Down"} and {&"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"} -- along with a bonus disc that includes a "Radio Remix" of {&"Just Push Play"} and also several live recordings from 1978.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
