Black Love
1996

Calgary, AB, Canada

Could benefit from some breathing space and a little humor; as is, this remains bracing, dramatic rock.

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"
