By the Numbers
Music from Another Dimension! was Aerosmith's last studio album of new material, and it reunited the band with producer Jack Douglas, who worked on its 1970s peak. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry wrote the bulk of the record but again leaned on outside collaborators: Marti Frederiksen co-wrote and co-produced several tracks, Jim Vallance co-wrote the lead single 'Legendary Child,' and professional hitmaker Diane Warren supplied the ballad 'We All Fall Down.' The mix of band-driven hard rock and outside-written ballads reflects the same tension between Aerosmith's own writing and commercial co-writers seen across its 2000s output.
Aerosmith's fifteenth and final studio album, released November 6, 2012. The album features unusually specific lyricist/composer splits on several tracks, Tyler writes lyrics on nearly all songs while Perry, Whitford, Hamilton, and Kramer contribute to musical composition. 'Tell Me' is the only track written entirely by Tom Hamilton. 'We All Fall Down' is written entirely by Diane Warren, the album's sole track with no Aerosmith member involvement. Joe Perry writes three tracks alone: 'Oh Yeah,' 'Freedom Fighter,' and 'Something.' The album peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and was the band's last studio record before Steven Tyler's vocal cord injury ended their performing career.
