Just Push Play is the thirteenth studio album by the American hard rock band Aerosmith . It was released on Columbia Records in March 2001 . It reached platinum status in the USA, but could not repeat the successes of the previous albums again.

Emergence

The album was mainly recorded in South Shore , Massachusetts . The drums were recorded at Long View Farms Studio in North Brookfield , Massachusetts, the strings at Ocean Way Studios in Los Angeles , California , and other sound effects in Boston , Massachusetts and at Village Recorders in Los Angeles. Additional recordings for the song Fly Away From Here took place at Pearl White Studios, Whatinthewhatthe Studios and "Studio in the Sunset Marquis".

After the relative failure of Nine Lives , guitarist Joe Perry and vocalist Steven Tyler took control this time around, with the assistance of Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen . Still, Perry was skeptical about Just Push Play in retrospect , saying it was his least favorite album. There was never a time during the recording when all five band members were in the same room. The album showed him how not to make an Aerosmith record:

"I don't think we've made a decent album in years. Just push play is my least favorite. When we recorded it there was never a point where all five members were in the room at the same time and Aerosmith's major strength is playing together. It was a learning experience for me: it showed me how not to make an Aerosmith record. "
