Valora este álbum

Get a Grip es un álbum de Aerosmith, publicado en 1993 por Geffen Records. El disco incluye 14 canciones, entre ellas «Intro», «Eat The Rich», «Get A Grip» y «Fever».

Lanzado en 1993, Get a Grip es el undécimo álbum de estudio de Aerosmith y su álbum más vendido en todo el mundo, con más de 20 millones de copias. En plena era del grunge y el rock alternativo, Aerosmith no solo sobrevivió, sino que se convirtió en la banda más grande del planeta gracias a este disco. "Get a Grip" es un álbum extenso y diverso de hard rock y pop-rock, pero es mundialmente famoso por su trilogía de power ballads: "Cryin'", "Amazing" y "Crazy". Los icónicos videoclips de estas canciones, protagonizados por la entonces desconocida Alicia Silverstone, los convirtieron en los reyes de la MTV y los presentaron a una nueva generación de fans. Es el sonido de una banda en la cima absoluta de su poder comercial.

Gestación del álbum

La grabación de "Get a Grip" fue un proceso largo y difícil. La banda volvió a trabajar con el productor Bruce Fairbairn, pero las sesiones iniciales fueron descartadas por la discográfica por ser demasiado experimentales. La banda tuvo que volver al estudio y colaborar de nuevo con compositores externos como Desmond Child para crear los éxitos de radio que el sello demandaba. El álbum cuenta con colaboraciones de artistas como Lenny Kravitz y Don Henley de The Eagles.

Sonido y estilo

"Get a Grip" es un álbum de contrastes. Contiene algunos de los temas de hard rock y blues-rock más potentes de su carrera. Está dominado por las power ballads de pop-rock, con producciones grandilocuentes y arreglos de cuerda. Esta dualidad, aunque exitosa, fue criticada por algunos por ser demasiado calculada.

Repaso a las canciones

El álbum es famoso por su trilogía de baladas. "Cryin'", "Amazing" y "Crazy" (cuyo vídeo lanzó a la fama a la hija de Steven, Liv Tyler) se convirtieron en éxitos masivos. El primer sencillo, "Livin' on the Edge", un rock con conciencia social, ganó un Grammy. "Eat the Rich" y la canción titular, "Get a Grip", muestran el lado más duro de la banda.

Debut y resultados en listas

"Get a Grip" fue un fenómeno de ventas global.

Valoración crítica

La crítica fue en general positiva, elogiando la increíble habilidad de la banda para crear éxitos, aunque algunos criticaron su giro hacia una fórmula más comercial. "Get a Grip" es la culminación de la era de regreso de Aerosmith, un álbum que, gracias a sus inolvidables baladas, los convirtió en la banda de rock más grande y popular de los años 90.
