Black Love
1996
Calgary, AB, Canada
Could benefit from some breathing space and a little humor; as is, this remains bracing, dramatic rock.
3/5

Nine Lives
1997
Calgary, AB, Canada
Nine Lives is alternately routine and belabored; it finds Aerosmith trying too hard to sound like Aerosmith.

1965
1998
Calgary, AB, Canada
Music that's as hot, sweaty and sticky as its subject matter.

Volume 2: Release
1999
Calgary, AB, Canada
When the piping and African drumming go full blast on "Big Cat," the music is so lively and intensely rhythmic that it'd persuade a dead man dance a jig.

Christina Aguilera
1999
Calgary, AB, Canada
She doesn't need to cultivate a Lolita image to advance her career; songs with a little more depth and distinction would accomplish that.

Heaven and Earth
1999
Calgary, AB, Canada
A low-budget but inspired take on '60s-era pop classicism.

Rainbow
Calgary, AB, Canada
No one can have street cred and housewife cred at the same time; not even an artist as wonderful as Carey thinks she is.

Best of Me
1999
Calgary, AB, Canada
"The Best of Me" shows Adams' talent for penning naggingly catchy guitar pop-rock didn't diminish during the schizophrenic 1990s, even as the erstwhile T-shirt-clad boy-next-door moved into his Gucci and mascara years.
3.5/5

Stiff Upper Lip
2000
Calgary, AB, Canada
"Stiff Upper Lip" belongs in the top third of their catalogue and is arguably the group's most consistent effort since 1981's "For Those About to Rock"
