On November 6th, AEROSMITH will release Music From Another Dimension! on Columbia Records. It marks the band’s 15th studio album and their first studio album of all-new material in 11 years.

RollingStone.com are premiering the album, one track at a time, in the weeks leading up to the release. 'Out Go The Lights' is a hard-rocking, lip-smacking blues, set to a cowbell beat as an anxious Steven Tyler vamps about, "Living on coochie and romance/ Waiting for Cupid to call." Female backing vocals take on a taunting, torrid flavor, as Joe Perry ignites a red-hot guitar solo that doesn't quit for the song's nearly seven minutes.

The track's working title was 'The Guilty Kilt': "There's a joke about the guy who gets a hard-on with a kilt on," explains bassist Tom Hamilton, "so it's a guilty kilt." It's a riff idea that dates back to sessions for 1989's Pump, which popped up spontaneously between songs on tour over the years, with Tyler sometimes scatting on-the-spot vocals.

"I remember jamming that live during the show," says Perry. "There was something about that tempo – it's got that funk that we do. It just wouldn't leave us alone."

Music From Another Dimension! 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.

“It’s not that it took ten years,” Steven Tyler says, “but that we were busy getting ready!”

"This is the album we wanted to make since the band got back together in 1984,” Joe Perry says. “Can't complain about number one singles or album-driven sold-out world tours, as we blaze the Aerosmith trail with our fans. But this is the record that when the five of us are in a room yelling turn up the volume, that room could be 1325 Commonwealth Avenue (a reference to the band’s first apartment where they lived and wrote their first song).”

A deluxe version of Music From Another Dimension! will include:

- Four live performance videos: 'Rats In The Cellar', 'Train Kept A Rollin'', 'Oh Yeah' and 'Same Old Song and Dance'
- Exclusive interviews with the members of Aerosmith band members
- Three exclusive new bonus tracks: 'Up On A Mountain', 'Oasis' and 'Sunny Side of Love'
