Music from Another Dimension! is the fifteenth and final studio album by American rock band Aerosmith, released on November 6, 2012 by Columbia Records. This is their first studio album since 2004's Honkin' on Bobo and the first to feature all-new material since 2001's Just Push Play, marking the longest gap between Aerosmith's studio albums. The album was released in a single CD edition, along with a deluxe version. It is the last album in Aerosmith's current recording contract with Sony/Columbia Records and was produced by Jack Douglas, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Marti Frederiksen (three tracks).
The album includes the singles, "Legendary Child", "Lover Alot", "What Could Have Been Love", and "Can't Stop Lovin' You".
With Aerosmith unsure of recording another album, and planning to embark on a farewell tour in the upcoming years,Music from Another Dimension! is likely the band's final album.
The album's release on November 6, 2012 marks six years since the band's last release of original material, the two tracks "Devil's Got a New Disguise" and "Sedona Sunrise", which were released as part of the band's compilation album Devil's Got a New Disguise in October 2006. In addition, it marked eight years since the band's last studio album, the mostly blues cover album Honkin' on Bobo (which also included the lone original song "The Grind"), released in March 2004, and eleven years since the band's last all-original studio album, Just Push Play, released in March 2001.
