New Aerosmith album shelved until next year?

Sadly, as the autumn turns to winter, the prospects of a new Aerosmith album in your Christmas stocking this year dwindle and fade…
With rock-legend and scarf fetishist Steven Tyler and Joe ‘Cheekbones’ Perry both crocked during the year, Aerosmith only have a half-recorded album, and we’d all prefer to wait for the finished version. Thanks very much.
‘Smith guitarist Brad Whitford has said
We’re sitting on a bunch of music we’ve already recorded for a new album. We haven’t gone back into the studio the put the final touches on it and get it done and still don’t know when we’re gonna do that. Hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later.
Effectively, this will make it an eight year gap between albums – discounting the 2004 blues covers platter, Honkin’ On Bobo. And the more I think about it, the more I find myself salivating for new Aerosmith material.
With the current resurgence of some of my all-time favourite bands, Aerosmith’s next album will be entirely welcome in my record collection…when it eventually arrives in 2009!
In the meantime, why don’t you tell me what your favourite Aerosmith album is? I’m stuck between Rocks and Pump.

You gotta love Pump. Then I started really digging them when they came out with BigOnes. That was freshman year of highschool. I know I missed alot of their albums, but I caught up when I discovered them.
Yeah, Pump is godly. I was raised on Aerosmith. Got my first CD of theirs (Greatest Hits :) ) When I was 6. Loved em’ since. I was recently reawakened to some of their lesser known songs by GH: Aerosmith. That’s when I REALLY started digging into the music. Deep. I had known from years earlier that dad had Pump, and I went into the attic to get it. Listened to it (after taking a shower. Heat’s natural act of rising + Summer Day = Sweat…). Unbelievable. Rocks is crazy, too. Aerosmith just rocks altogether. Period.
I really want a new Aerosmith album for my collection. But if it takes a long time then I just expect it to be a super good album… I LOVE AROSMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
