Just Push Play (2001) |
Honkin' on Bobo (2004) |
Just Push Play is the thirteenth studio album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 2001 (see 2001 in music). Helping Aerosmith in the studio were coproducers and song collaborators Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson.
Just Push Play features the same slick pop production that Aerosmith had been using in recent albums, though this time there was more of a vintage-era edge to most of the tracks.
The album's first single, "Jaded", became a major top-10 hit in the U.S. (since then, they've yet to hit the top 10 again). As a result, Just Push Play went platinum. Subsequent singles "Fly Away from Here", "Sunshine", and "Just Push Play", though garnering some airplay, failed to impact the Hot 100 much.
The album's cover features a gynoid and was designed by Hajime Sorayama.
