Producer Jack Douglas's busy tour schedule the band's first album had come a long delay in recording the reason:

"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.

"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."
