Aerosmith released their new album, “Music From Another Dimension,” on Tuesday.
The group’s 15th studio effort was recorded in Los Angeles and at the band's studio in Massachusetts; it was produced by Jack Douglas, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, with the exception of three tracks produced by Tyler and Marti Frederiksen.
Prior to the album’s release, Aerosmith launched an 8-part series called “The Making Of Music From Another Dimension.”
The footage presents a behind-the-scenes look as the Boston rockers create their first new album in more than a decade.
In episodes 6 and 7 of the series, guitarist Joe Perry talks about the length of time it took to put the project together.
“Music is forever. When you record it, it’s there forever. We just don’t know any other way to do that,” Joe explains. “The reason it took a year was because we had a tour to do in the middle of it. If you had compressed what we did from the time we started last summer til we wrapped it up in California…if you had taken away the tour and taken away Steven’s time on [American] Idol, it probably would have taken two or three months to make the record.”
