Aerosmith, 'Lover Alot' -- New Song

Aerosmith has a new song. It's called "Lover Alot" and will be on the new album Music From Another Dimension. The album is due November 6. I love the raw guitar riff on this track. What do you think?

Joe's great with the slide, & I think Brad's an awesome guitarist, too. What I really don't like about this? I can pinpoint it. JP's use of an pitch shift/octave pedal throughout the entire song. It takes away from anything interesting he's playing. The exact opposite of the way I felt about the lush sound he got with "Jaded". This just sounds ratty.
And though I think the wall to wall vocal definitely achieves the frenetic feel they are going for, they simply don't allow the song to breath. If there is a riff here you never get to hear it in the clear, something that has normally always been a trademark of their songs.
Though this is head and shoulders above "Legendary Child", it's not nearly as good as "Jaded", the song Ace brought up that's truly the last great Aerosmith song.
Still, this is a massive improvement over any of their 80's output.
"Rocks" it ain't, but it still ROCKS!
I know they can do better but maybe after 40 years, the well is starting to dry up. Hopefully not.
