Pump

1989年，史密斯飞船乐队发行了更出色的一张专辑《Pump》，这张专辑再次成为了史密斯飞船乐队的经典作品。这张既赢得评论界青睐又赢得了歌迷支持的专辑诞生了包括《Janie's Got a Gun》以及《Love in an Elevator》和《What It Takes》在内的经典排行榜前十名单曲，他在专辑排行榜上名列第五，销量超过四白金。这张专辑的成功也让评论界马上认定了史密斯飞船乐队的重新复出是整个摇滚乐里上最伟大，最成功的复出。在这种极其成功的复出背景之下，他们的老唱片公司Columbia唱片公司又重新对他们鼓起了信心和勇气，在史密斯飞船乐队和Geffen唱片公司还有两张唱片的合同才结束合约的情况下，Columbia唱片公司就与他们签订了数百万美元的高额合同，提前数年就把史密斯飞船乐队预定到自己的旗下。随后的时间里，史密斯飞船乐队展开了规模浩大的世界性巡回演唱会，再一次提升了史密斯飞船乐队在整个世界上的影响力。 by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Where Permanent Vacation seemed a little overwhelmed by its pop concessions, Pump revels in them without ever losing sight of Aerosmith's dirty hard rock core. Which doesn't mean the record is a sellout -- "What It Takes" has more emotion and grit than any of their other power ballads; "Janie's Got a Gun" tackles more complex territory than most previous songs; and "The Other Side" and "Love in an Elevator" rock relentlessly, no matter how many horns and synths fight with the guitars. Such ambition and successful musical eclecticism make Pump rank with Rocks and Toys in the Attic.
