Is Aerosmith making a comeback with Anchorman 2?

The movie Anchorman 2 is about to come out and Aerosmith is announcing the release of an album of the same title. Should rock bands be doing soundtracks for movies? The classic AC/DC songs featured in Iron Man 2 worked pretty well, but what about new songs? Queen creating a soundtrack for Flash Gordon was definitely not their  best album, but it is true that the movie was probably not quality material to work with in the first place. The same thing is true with Queen and Highlander, although 'Who wants to live forever' was pretty good.

I am waiting for the album to come out until I decide whether or not Aerosmith is still a good band - but their latest performances and Steven Tyler’s appearances on American Idol were definitely a disappointment. Most Aerosmith fans wanted Tyler to talk about rock music and give advice as a performer – we got country music instead.  Even Tyler looked bored out of his mind during most performances.

Could this be a new start for Aerosmith? I am not expecting much from the Anchorman 2 movie: part was decent at the best, and I don’t see how a sequel could be any better. Perhaps Aerosmith could have chosen a better movie to make a comeback. Even if the music is good, the album will always be associated with a low-quality comedy. Does Aerosmith need to get publicity through the release of the movie? Actually, exposing a new generation to their music through this music is a smart move, since they have been pretty much forgotten for so many years.
