Aerosmith - Nine Lives

Aerosmith – Nine Lives (1997)

Nine Lives was Aerosmith’s return to form in the late ’90s, produced by Kevin Shirley. Released in 1997, the album combines gritty blues-rock with post-grunge slickness. Shirley’s production emphasizes tight musicianship while allowing Steven Tyler’s theatricality to soar. It's a layered, modern rock album that still honors the band’s classic roots.
