Valora este álbum

A Little South of Sanity es un álbum de Aerosmith, publicado en 1998 por Geffen Records. El disco incluye 23 canciones, entre ellas «Eat the Rich», «Love in an Elevator», «Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)» y «Same Old Song and Dance».

Lanzado en 1998, A Little South of Sanity es el tercer álbum en directo de Aerosmith. Este masivo álbum doble fue lanzado por su antigua discográfica, Geffen Records, para cumplir con sus obligaciones contractuales. El disco es una colección de actuaciones grabadas durante las exitosas giras de los álbumes "Get a Grip" y "Nine Lives". "A Little South of Sanity" es un documento que captura a la banda en su faceta de gigantes del rock de estadios de los años 90. El álbum mezcla sus megaéxitos de la era Geffen con los clásicos inmortales de los 70, todo ello con la energía y la improvisación de sus conciertos.

Grabación y contexto

El álbum fue compilado a partir de varias actuaciones de las giras de 1993-94 y 1997-98. La producción buscó crear la sensación de un único concierto épico. Es famoso por la gran cantidad de diálogos y bromas de Steven Tyler con el público entre las canciones, lo que le da un carácter muy personal y a veces controvertido.

Estilo musical y presentación en vivo

El sonido del álbum es puro rock de estadios. La banda suena potente y enérgica, con un repertorio que abarca más de dos décadas de éxitos. Es una celebración de su longevidad y de su estatus como una de las mejores bandas en directo de la historia. El álbum incluye interpretaciones de casi todas sus canciones más famosas.

Lanzamiento y cifras

El álbum fue un éxito comercial, alcanzando el estatus de platino en Estados Unidos.

Juicio de la crítica

La crítica fue en general positiva, elogiando la energía de la banda, aunque algunos criticaron la excesiva duración del disco y el parloteo de Tyler. AllMusic lo describe como "un maratón de rock and roll". "A Little South of Sanity" es el testamento definitivo de la era de regreso de Aerosmith, un documento que captura toda la potencia y el espectáculo de sus legendarios conciertos de los 90.

    It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy. tell ya, honey, how i feel. i've been dreaming, floatin' down stream and losin' touch with all that is real. whole earth lover, keepin' under cover never knowin' where ya been. you've been fadin', always out paradin. keepin' touch with mama kin. Well you've always got your tail on the wag. shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon. you act like a perpertual drag. you better check it out, or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon. It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna, and it's so hard to find piece of mind. yes it is. the way i see it, you've got to say shit. but don't forget to drop me a line. Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen. and workin' for you dad is just a drag. he still stuffs your mouth with your dreams. you better check it out, or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon. Keepin' touch with mama kin. tell her where you've gone and been. livin' out your fantasy, sleeping late and smoking tea. [repeat once] It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna, and it's so hard to find piece of mind. yes it is.
