The Walk This Way band has been appear at Joe Perry’s home studio, The Boneyard, and at their main recording location Pandora’s Box.

About the sound of the recording, producer Jack Douglas mentioned: "This album will be raw, nasty, tough rock with a good deal of the old Aerosmith 'tongue in cheek.'"

However, Douglas also stated: "The new album should be out around May 2012. I know that's a long wait, but after the South American tour and Japan in October, November and December, we will just get back to work on it in mid-January."

Aerosmith's latest album, still untitled release since his 2004 disc of covers Honkin’ On Bobo and their first of original material since 2001’s Just Push Play.

While Steven Tyler and Perry have not commented about the album, bassist Tom Hamilton said on the band’s website via a videotaped message: "For those of you who don't know who Jack is, he's the guy who we worked with, producing our best albums of the '70s — 'Get Your Wings', 'Toys In The Attic' and 'Rocks'. And it's really gonna be cool, because there's no one that knows more about the soul of this band and the creative part of this band [than] Jack. We worked with him on 'Honkin' On Bobo', but that wasn't all original material — most of that was not original material. This time it's gonna be all-new Aerosmith songs."

"For those who are asking, this album will be raw, nasty, tough rock with a good deal of the old Aerosmith 'tongue in cheek.'"

Douglas is a long term collaborator from the band's heyday, as bassist Tom Hamilton explains (via Blabbermouth):

"He's the guy who we worked with, producing our best albums of the '70s - 'Get Your Wings', 'Toys In The Attic' and 'Rocks'. And it's really gonna be cool, because there's no one that knows more about the soul of this band and the creative part of this band. We worked with him on 'Honkin' On Bobo', but that wasn't all original material. This time it's gonna be all-new Aerosmith songs."

Hamilton added: "When people say, 'What was it like to work with Jack back then?' all I can say is we just laughed the whole time; there was always laughter going on, and fun, but at the same time really digging deep to get performances that were even better than we thought we could do."
