Toys In The Attic

back in the 70s, steven tyler fucked an underaged groupie, and proceeded to literally adopt her as his legal daughter so he could keep fucking this child. he can stuff his big ten inch up his own ass for all i care.

If it's 1975 and you want a rock album but you're too much of a fuckin' JOCK to listen to Physical Graffiti, Blood on the Tracks, Wish You Were Here, Born To Run, Horses, Young Americans, Fleetwood Mac, Another Green World, Mothership Connection, or Face the Music, this is the album for you and the boys as you cruise around town in a less interesting version of Dazed and Confused.

A record breaking album when it comes to blandness and lack of inspiration

Dad rock (Derogatory). Pretty boring, but fine. Would not put on again

Aside from the music being bland my rating and review is based on Steve Tyler being a pedo c*nt. I listened to the full album, but its just forgettable generic rock. The music is whatever, but Steve Tyler can go choke on his big ten inch record. From Wikipedia "Tyler claimed their relationship was consensual and that he had immunity because he was her legal guardian at the time" speaking about a 16 year old girl he groomed, adopted and abused - what the actual fuck.

Aerosmith, to me, is the very definition of a middle of the road band. They have some pretty memorable songs but just a lot that that is either bad or just pretty forgettable. Aside from Walk this Way and Sweet Emotion and maybe the title track Toys in the Attic, the rest of this just felt like filler. As a whole this album would probably be a 2.5 but I’ll round up for those two songs which are rightfully all timers

I can't figure out whether Aerosmith is a good band that I think sucks, or if they are just completely overrated. I'm honestly shocked by how well-reviewed this album is. It's so generic. The only "good" song on it is Sweet Emotion. Granted, all the guitar solos absolutely rip, but that's the only thing I can think of that this album has going for it.

After nearly getting off the ground with Get Your Wings, Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased sense of songwriting skills and purpose. Not only does Joe Perry turn out indelible riffs like "Walk This Way," "Toys in the Attic," and "Sweet Emotion," but Steven Tyler has fully embraced sleaziness as his artistic muse. Taking his cue from the old dirty blues "Big Ten Inch Record," Tyler writes with a gleeful impishness about sex throughout Toys in the Attic, whether it's the teenage heavy petting of "Walk This Way," the promiscuous "Sweet Emotion," or the double-entendres of "Uncle Salty" and "Adam's Apple." The rest of Aerosmith, led by Perry's dirty, exaggerated riffing, provide an appropriately greasy backing. Before Toys in the Attic, no other hard rock band sounded like this. Sure, Aerosmith cribbed heavily from the records of the Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, and Led Zeppelin, but they didn't have any of the menace of their influences, nor any of their mystique. Aerosmith was a gritty, street-wise hard rock band who played their blues as blooze and were in it for a good time; Toys in the Attic crystallizes that attitude.

A really enjoyable rock album with some great riffs and power vocals. The double entendres and obsession with school girls is a like wearisome, but overall a blast.

Actually did enjoy it. Fundamental Rock, good listen, though I don't think anything did stand out about it.

great album with 2 immortal classics, Sweet Emotion and Walk this way are undoubtedly the best and remarkable songs of the album, but other songs are really enjoyable as well. Solid 4

Aerosmith sucks and Steven Tyler is a pedophile, enough said.

Just as no one would have heard of Afrika Bambaataa if it weren't for Kraftwerk, far fewer people (especially in the white suburbs) would have heard of run DMC if not for Walk this Way. So even though I never liked the song, I can appreciate its legacy. The title track is also good and a few others are listenable. between a 2 and a 3 for me.

The two songs that became famous - “sweet emotion” and “walk this way” - were the right ones. Especially “sweet emotion.” They’re legitimately great rock songs and sound totally different than everything else on the album. The rest of the album is kinda pedestrian guitar rock, with the exception of “big ten inch record,” which is just freaking awful and filled with bad sexual double entendres, to boot. “You See Me Crying” is foreshadowing of the absolute garbage that Aerosmith would put out in the 90’s.

People are ragging on this album but it’s A) a lot of fun, B) has a few hits on it that are still played, C) one of the bigger influential albums of all time, and D) Walk This Way is one of the greatest hard rock songs of all time. If we’re going to judge musicians on their non-music actions then we might as well shut it all down. Grow the fuck up.

According to Chuck Eddy, of all the metallic albums recorded between the dawn of the Miocene era and AD 1990, this is the fourth best. I won't quibble. It coats Stones licks and Skynyrd boogie in squeezed zit-juice with such sexed-up fervour that it generates teenage kicks as high as Chuck Berry's or early Beatles'. Makes you feel like the fate of the world hangs on your puny 15 year old dreams. After putting his audience and himself through the ringer on tracks 1-8, Steve Tyler gathers us all up in a sweaty, stinking (probably quite horny) hug. We saw him crying? Uh-uh, he saw us bawling our pubescent eyes out.

The lightning-speed swamp rock riffing that the band does on the opener simply sounds great. There's more pop-blues to come, and it's good. Not quite Dutch angled, but with plenty of edge to keep the ear engaged. The attempt to sexualize their interpretation of the genre comes off a bit flat, but thankfully it's not the main thrust of the record. The second half loses a bit of the energy, but serves as a demonstration of musical breadth and ends with a bang. Very impressive for a sub-forty-minute album.

liked the album and it helped me get back into rock

Fuck yeah, this rocks. Hard rock, doesn't try to be anything other than what it is, album only 37min, this is a solid 4/5. The only other Aerosmith I've heard is their late 80s/early 90s stuff and Tyler sounds way better here.

Not bad for this type of straight-forward rock, though it's just really not my style. Probably wouldn't ever choose to listen to it either.

Impressively meh.

If u like hard rock - u like it

As a 90s kid growing up with 90s Aerosmith, I didn't take Aerosmith very seriously. In fact, I loathed Aerosmith. They're up there with Billy Joel as artists who I completely understand the success and reach they've had, but I really only appreciate on a cultural level rather than a musical one. So color me surprised when I put this album on to find some real tightly played hard rock. Maybe a little unsophisticated lyrically, but you can see yourself handing the Zeppelin crown over to them. And then Big Ten Inch Record played. No, I was right. These guys are corny. Then comes Sweet Emotion and you see why they got so big.

Tracks 1-3: ok, but why is this on the list? Tracks 4-6: oh, that’s why this is on the list. Tracks 7-8: this isn’t so bad Track 9: ah, there’s the Aerosmith I can’t stand.

Toys up your arse..

'Sweet Emotion' is solid and 'Round and Round' was surprisingly good. The rest of this was bordeline garbage. 'Big Ten Inch Record' is awful, and 'Walk This Way' was cool when I was 12 and knew perhaps 5 songs in existence.

'Adam's apple' a blatant rip of Beatles' 'Get back'. Steve Tyler a vile piece of excrement. To quote the late, great, Stan Lee "'nuff said'.

Terrible. Real cheesey. Two good songs maybe.

Over 40 years I've been listening to Aerosmith, and I am finding more meaning in their music still. I love it. One of the best albums of the era. Toys In The Attic is one of their best songs. So great tracks such as first song: "Toys in the Attic" - very good track to start your day! "No More No More" - one of the most high-energy rock songs ...EVER!!! The last song of the album "You See Me Crying" - its more calmly song... I dont know but I love it. Awesome album from an awesome band. Rock on!

Released 1975

I had this album when I was younger! Aerosmith was the first band I saw in concert and they were excellent. Steven Tyler is a vocal hero and Joe Perry is a phenomenal guitarist. "Sweet Emotion" alone is enough to give this album 4 stars, even though the rest of the tracks are a lower caliber than some of their other work.

Classic aerosmith, no complaints

Love this album, classic. And super cool the original version of walk this way is on it. Love both versions of that song.

The toddler in the back of the car said “I like this music” and I’m surprised to agree. (He also said “woo!”; I’ll withhold my opinion here.) The big willy song is the only turd, the rest keeps the finger away from the skip button - some great, interesting guitar work and structures here, and the singing pre-dates Tyler’s sink into parody. When I last checked, “Rocks” was the cognoscenti’s “good Aerosmith album”, but I think this is better.

4-, a classic, but weaker and less memorable than the other albums from that decades

This album starts off like a roller coaster electromagnetically launched out of the start house. The guitars on Toys In The Attic (song) are engaging right from the get go. Uncle Salty starts out a bit slow but then by the end I quite enjoyed it. The bluesy Big Ten Inch Record is a great cover, but I don’t think the lyrics are about an LP. Steven Tyler claims he said “cept on my big ten inch…” I definitely heard suck like everyone else. Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion are all-time classics while You See Me Crying is a nice ballad with piano and backing orchestra. Overall I really like 3 songs, like 3 songs, and enjoy, but am somewhat indifferent to, 3 songs.

This album is really awesome. I enjoyed it today while driving from Ft Lauderdale on i-95 back home to Jensen Beach. I had already had 2 songs from this album in my Liked songs. I added Uncle Salty to that list today. The guitars are incredible. What a time that was to be alive! My mom graduated high school the year this album came out. 1975.

As a kid I grew up listening to current rock which now happens to be "classic rock" - and sometime in the early 90s like a lot of my generation I got tired of nearly all of it (turn on any of 7-8 local FM stations anywhere and it's (still) the same 50-60 songs) and just never played a lot of it for a long time. Combine that with a move to Boston and living there for many years ... with the extra amount of Aerosmith played there in the late 80s/90s I grew to have a "holygodihatethisbandpleaseneverletmehearthemagain" attitude about them. ..... But holy crap I had forgotten - this is a goddamn great rock and roll album. Greasy, nasty, tight yet at the same time loosely played, ballsy riffs with unexpected chords and melodic vocals - it really jumped beyond blues-based rock into something far more interesting with surprising variety: the aggression of the title track, the Alice Cooper-like creepiness of "Uncle Salty" and the gorgeous melodies of songs like "No More No More" and "You See Me Crying" ... and I haven't even had to mention the two eternally monstrous hits of "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion" - turns out when you voluntarily listen to them, and especially in context of the album, it helps you realize how good they actually are. :) Only thing keeping this album from a 5 star rating for me is the weirdly out-of-place drudgery of "Round and Round" - it's as if Spinal Tap went back in time and copped the worst of Black Sabbath. 5 lost minutes in an otherwise kick-ass collection. So the key is to just not listen to something for 20+ years - if it's good, it'll come back to you. 9/10 4 big stars

Classic rock from the grandfathers of hair metal.

Day 22 of Albums You Must Hear.. Today’s offering is the third album from one of my favorite American Rock Bands, Aerosmith! Toys in the Attic, released in 1975, went on to become their most commercially successful albums in the U.S. selling 8 million copies. I have to credit my Dad for turning me on to Aerosmith. I would go through his collection of cassettes and study the artwork while he played their songs on the way to drop us kiddos off at elementary school. While being more Hard Rock than some other bands and not quite as heavy as others, Aerosmith kept a sweet balance of Rock and Blues, especially on Toys in the Attic. This record proved to not only be big for the Rock genre, it would years later become instrumental to the success of crossover rap music. More on that later. The title track, Toys in the Attic, showcases a much more cohesive gelling of the band, as they had spent much of their time touring in previous years. The constant live performances would sharpen their blade and it really shows on the title track. You knew that Aerosmith was bringing the heat. Sweet Emotions is tied with being my favorite song along with Walk This Way. In 1986 co-founder of Def Jam Recordings and producer, Rick Rubin, who had success popularizing hip-hop artists using hard rock samples and riffs, would convince a reluctant Run-D.M.C., to cover Walk This Way and the results would forever change the landscape of commercial Rap music. (It would also resurrect a floundering Aerosmith at the time.) Big Ten Inch was a superbly satisfying cover of Big Moose Jackson’s Blues song from 1952. The tongue in cheek lyrics paired with the blues and swing sound would be a nice highlight to the track listing. The final track also showcased Aerosmith’s willingness to slow it down a bit and let Tyler’s piano sit front and center. While most of my personal favorite albums and songs from Aerosmith would come in the late eighties and 90’s, Toys in the Attic is nearly flawless. Thanks Dad for introducing me to one of my all time favorite bands. This record is a definite must hear. Please share your thoughts, memories and opinions!!

3.5/5 in general an okay feeling album for me. it’s not amazing, it’s not bad, it’s just “there”. i enjoy a few songs a lot tho, uncle salty is really nice. i love aerosmith when the songs aren’t speedy or fast singing. so the chorus in uncle salty is really, really good. sweet emotion i love as well. fave song: sweet emotion

I mean, as 80s rock goes it's fine (Edit - it's fucking 1975??!?!)

This is a fairly unremarkable experience. American middle of the road rock.

Sweet Emotion is a GOAT but the rest of this is just OK.

CACK ROCK

Temu Zeppelin with extra creepy pedo lyrics. Yuck. At least Joe Perry can play.

Hang on, didn't I already have this one? Oh, no, that was another Aerosmith album. Didn't like that one. Didn't like this one.

surprisingly better than i thought itd be

Ehhh, never really got the appeal.

Not particularly cohesive as a record for me. Some big tunes but otherwise a slog.

Couldn’t do it.

The three songs I already knew are enjoyable, the rest are generic and cheeks. 2.5

Situated in the genre of 'music boomers can have sex to' with ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin and Kiss, there's Aerosmith. As someone only really familiar with their 90's - 00s revival pumping out truly heinous ballads, video games, and rollercoasters, this album is OK. Walk this Way is a lot less annoying it the context of the album.

Eh. Wouldn't listen again - mostly filler, kinda samey?

Like 2 decent songs the rest is filler. Not necessarily crap just not that engaging.

Textbook “classic rock” right here. Nothing really stood out to me honestly.

I liked it when he was singing about his toys. I didn’t like it when he was singing about his 10-inch whatever….or really anything else. This was not good.

Very generic 70s rock. Sweet Emotion is fantastic but the final track on the album was one of the worst things my ears have ever experienced.

Terrible

They tell you to separate the art from the artist, but even so, the art itself isn't great.

So the music is mostly instantly forgettable and only sometimes irritating. That would mean 2 or 3 stars however with Steven Tyler being a garbage human that means 1 star and that's because I can't give it 0.

To be fair the album is very well produced and sounds great. Too bad the material is a bit, em, bland. And worse still, the things I've read about the singer are despicable, sinking this straight to the bottom of the ocean, never to be seen again.

Which is worse? The dreadful generic music, or the gaslighting nonce that sang it? Don't care, both are terrible. Liked the cover of Run DMC's 'Walk This Way' though 😉

guy thinks we should listen to THREE Aerosmith albums? get real buddy.

shite.

Worse even than I expected. REM have (what I assumed to be) a dismal B-side cover of "Toys In The Attic" that turns out to be at least on par with the original. Can't polish a turd, it seems. The rest is dull and borderline offensive, featuring the awful screech of that degenerate Carly Simon look-alike supported by pedestrian backing, with songwriting so poor all you need to hear is 30 seconds of each "song". As another reviewer points out, so much better was on offer fresh in 1975, even at the Lynyrd Skynyrd/Bob Seger level let alone Zep/Dylan/Neil Young - why the fuck did people buy this in such quantities?!

Round and Round sounds like they're trying to be Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath, though less successfully. This album is so hokey at parts during its first half that "Walk This Way" is actually worse in context. "Sweet Emotion" is still cool and I think I liked the closing track.

Definitely wins the “worst song so far” award for ten inch record. I even thought the title track was kind of cute but that song just took a big shit on the rest of the bad album. Hatred

boring, monotonous, flaccid cock rock. every time boomers try to tell me something is the hardest most badass epic rock music ever made i put it on and it sounds like my dishwasher.

I can’t separate the music from the artist for this one, especially when Perry is singing about schoolgirls while he is literally sexually abusing a teen in real life

This album is probably a 3.5 for me but because Steven Tyler is a creep I will give him the 1 he deserves

Sweet Emotion is my fave, I loved it

Right from the rollicking opening riff of the title track, you can tell that 'Toys in the Attic' is going to be exciting, passionate and relentless. This is the sound of a band coming into their own, and Aerosmith would stake their claim as an American band with enough sleaze, swing and swagger to rival The Rolling Stones, the clear British equivalient. Steven Tyler not only has the 'Jagger swagger' down pat, but the impressive vocal range to match Freddie Mercury or Robert Plant, making him one of the most complete frontmen in music. He'd ably matched by the impressive guitar interplay between Joe Perry and Brad Whitford and the bustling rhythm section of bassist Tom Hamilton and drummer Joey Kramer. After they showed signs of finding their sound on their previous record 'Get Your Wings', 'Toys in the Attic' is where it all clicked for them. Just listen to 'Walk This Way', and it has everything you need to truly understand the brilliance of Aerosmith: strutty riffs, Tyler's sensuality and an earworm of a chorus. And as brilliant as that song is, the true highlight of this record is 'Sweet Emotion'. Starting with a hypnotic bass riff courtesy of Hamilton, 'Sweet Emotion' swirls ethereally into Tyler's pointed jabs at Perry and his then wife, Elyssa. Tyler and Perry soon became known as the 'Toxic Twins' for not only their problematic drug habits, but for their turbulent relationship. 'Sweet Emotion' is, in many ways, the first indication of turmoil between the two, and it would lead to Perry leaving Aerosmith from 1979 until 1984. Despite the obvious tension within 'Sweet Emotion', it's easily the standout track on 'Toys in the Attic', and is a prime example of how standout work can emerge from uncomfortable situations. Other great songs on this record include the Zeppelin-esque 'Round and Round' and the musically complex 'You See Me Crying', which sees Aerosmith utilise a piano-driven melody to lead some of Tyler's most heartfelt lyrics. This song no doubt set the template for the hair metal power ballads of the 1980s. In fact, the 1980s Sunset Strip hard rock scene (Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Guns 'n Roses, Poison, Ratt etc.) owes virtually everything to Aerosmith, as they truly were the group who pioneered that harder-edged, sleazy rock sound that became the driving force of 1980s hair metal and hard rock. 'Toys in the Attic' is Aerosmith hitting their peak, and they'd maintain that peak with 'Rocks' the next year, which is just as good, if not arguably better. Best songs: Toys in the Attic, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, Round and Round, You See Me Crying

Sublime classic rock with banger after banger

I think the question any good Aerosmith has to ask themselves at some point is "What's better: 'Toys In The Attic' or 'Rocks'?" Which isn't a question meant to put down either album, I should say; they're both great. Hell, of the two, 'Rocks' might have the better claim to being the better one, just for living up to its title — and so consistently, at that! But as good as 'Rocks' is, for my money, my favorite Aerosmith album has to be 'Toys In The Attic'. I've come to two reasons for this. For one, let's be real, 'Toys In The Attic' has more hits. I worry that comes across as shallow, but I can't tell you it's **not** a reason. I mean, sure, 'Rocks' has "Back In The Saddle", and that's the better opener between the two. But 'Toys' has "Walk This Way". 'Toys' has "Sweet Emotion". It has "Uncle Salty" and "Adam's Apple" and "You See Me Crying" and, goodness, "Big Ten Inch Record". So many iconic Aerosmith songs live on this record. They're all ones I'd easily want to return to, time and time again, before most of the ones on 'Rocks'. And this is all for the second reason I've come to: variety. That's not to say 'Rocks' is a one-note record, of course; look at "Home Tonight" and "Nobody's Fault". It's not even to say that either of their previous records didn't have anything going for them, either ("Dream On" is on their debut). But 'Toys', more importantly, is where Aerosmith started to stretch their wings beyond just being a hard rock and blues rock band. Just the fact alone that this album has space on it for a song like "Big Ten Inch Record" is testament enough. Even if they're all identifably 70's hard rock, "Walk This Way" isn't "Sweet Emotion", and neither are "No More No More" or "You See Me Crying". Some people might not hear it, but for a mind like mine, each song has just enough of their own feel to keep me satisfied. It reminds me a lot of all the new stuff that Led Zeppelin was trying out on their second album — and what a coincidence, 'Zeppelin II' happens to be my favorite Led Zeppelin album for that reason. But above all, it's just simple fun 70's hard rock. I don't think you could ever ask Aerosmith for anything more in this decade, and besides 'Rocks', they'd never do it better anywhere else. Certainly, among other 70's hard rockers, Aerosmith and 'Toys' come out pretty far on top. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good guitar and some wild, shouty vocals. So, that's about the size of feelings on 'Toys In The Attic'. Hardly complicated stuff, just like the album itself. I mean, what more could I really say about it? Heck, instead of saying anything more, I'm jus' gonna go put it on again. That by itself is the best answer you probably could've given to my question. Wings up and peace out.

Arguably Aerosmith's peak, and it's a pretty good album on top of it. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

It’s something higher than a 5. I’m not quite at a 10 with it, but… hell, maybe someday. I mean, look, everyone knows “Walk This Way” & “Sweet Emotion”. I can barely tell you what the latter is even about (it sure seems like a groupie issue though), and I can unfortunately tell you exactly what the former is about, but those tracks exist in perpetuity on the strength of either their choruses or their intros, feeling far ahead of 1975, unique for their era, & enduring all the same because of it. Yes, “Walk This Way” is juvenile as hell & it’s certainly a little awkward for a 26-year-old Steven Tyler to sing about high schoolers getting pussy but… that’s rock & roll for the era. Besides, let’s not act like there aren’t certain 26-year-old superstar singers right now asking about “house tours” & “getting wet at the thought of you” & all that. The purity test is dead, long live the purity test. So, with those two tracks casting a monstrous shadow over the whole album, the rest of the tracks have to keep up, and thankfully, they all do. There’s not a misstep here to my mind, & they all hold up well. “Toys in the Attic” is about… something, but it just sounds like it kicks ass. “Uncle Salty” could play the child neglect topic with a bit more tact & emotion other than an ‘aww, that sucks’ kinda vibe, but I think the blues-y instrumental sells the sad tones well. “Adam’s Apple” is a fellatio-driven retelling of Genesis, & the instrumental energy drives the track really, really well. Probably the big standout of the first half that isn’t “Walk This Way”. “Big Ten Inch Record” might be some people’s breaking point, but for 2026, completely goofy double entendres are all the rage, so it’s somehow aged pretty well, especially since it’s a cover from *1952*. Besides, we already ripped away all pretense when Da Vinci’s Notebook dropped “Enormous Penis” in 2002. The purity test is dead, long live the purity test. “No More No More” has a really fun structure – the lyrics do feel like they’re not super cohesive, implying cheating on the road at the same time as having a loving wife & home life, but apparently, it’s just a smorgasbord of road stories Steven Tyler threw together and called a track. The guitar is the star of the show here anyway, with Joe Perry absolutely fucking ripping at the end. The whole thing feels loosely like a Boston track, and that’s a big compliment. “Round and Round” is Aerosmith doing a metal track about a struggling relationship & the inability to cope with all the changes going on, and while it spams the chorus & goes a touch too long, I just fucking love the vibe of it all. “You See Me Crying” is one hell of a closer, feeling like a progenitor of all the ‘80s hard rock ballads to come (looking at Bon Jovi in particular) whilst foreshadowing Aerosmith’s own biggest hit roughly 20 years down the line. The scale & scope of it all is just really impressive, especially for a band that roughly 20 minutes beforehand were singing about “kitties in the middle” & doing a ragtime track about a 10-inch… record. The purity test is dead, long live the purity test. Ultimately, the whole thing just kicks ass, and if you can’t really feel that after listening to it, I don’t know what to tell you. Go have some fun out there, maybe. I do think the vast majority of my compliments being about the instrumentals & less about the actual substance of each track is what’s holding me back from being like “wow, holy shit, what a 10”, but it’s certainly higher than a 5. Between this album & “Pump”, I think I really, really like Aerosmith. We have one more album of theirs after this, “Rocks”, which I’ve genuinely never heard of, but it also has a spot in the Rolling Stone 500. I can only hope that one kicks as much ass as this does, and as far as this goes, this is a super, super easy 5, and certainly higher.

На самом то деле - очень хорошо. Зашло больше чему все предыдущие. На уровне с пикси. Но ничего в любимое не добавила, тк читала. 8/10

Very nice.

Fantastic album with a lot of Aerosmith's greatest hits! Who doesn't love Aerosmith?

# Album Name: Toys In The Attic # Artist: Aerosmith # Rating: 5/5 # Comments: Bloody great album. Plenty of bangers on this. Give it a listen. # Top Tunes: Toys in the attic / walk this way / Big ten inch / sweet emotion / no more / round and round # Would I listen to it again? Yes

This is 100% pure, Grade A classic rock. As good as it gets. This has always been a favorite of mine. A lot to call out. The production is insane. Not only does it sound good but all kinds of unique sounds and even closes with an orchestra. The guitar sounds in particular stand out. The solo on Walk This Way sounds fucking gigantic. The individual performances are tremendous. Drums are sick and driving grooves everywhere, see Walk This Way. Guitar solos all impeccable and again, sound fucking great. Tyler’s voice has a ton of rhythm, dynamics and more importantly charisma. The horns and strings here and there are great too. There’s a lot of variety, opening with a head spinning riff and immediately hitting the brakes on Uncle Salty. Fun grooves, straight forward rock, emotional ballad, weird joke about Tyler’s 10? inch piece. Weird and interesting decisions. I played the solo from Mama Kin (not on this album) and it was really fucking hard. Very strange. Opened my eyes to how interesting and talented these guys were. This and “Rocks” rule. High high quality rock, fun as fuck. I’ve heard the Aerosmith hate and I think we just saw what they became and it poisoned our minds to what they were. You did a hero or live long enough to become an alcoholic guy that looks like a grandmother. Small chance there is some Boston bias in this review.

бля тут така потужна гітара я хз шо сказать но ето ахуенно

Great

100%

Classic Aerosmith, straight up rock and roll. Lots of dumb sexual innuendo, totally on-brand. Several of their big hits on this one. Plenty of cool guitar playing, as you'd expect.

My Uncle in Law ; )

This was the first album I had (CD), probably because it was a favorite of my parents. And in this way, I listened to it so much I can’t really separate my nostalgia.

This was so good. I'd heard it before a few times and knew it was a good album, but every track was just so varied and great-sounding. The classic hits (Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion) were obviously great -- and I know them well, but the other tracks were almost as good and I really loved listening to them. In fact, I loved it so much I listened to it 3 times all the way through and almost went for a 4th. Five stars, easily.

Walk this way is a banger, sweet emotion also fire. Legendary album for a legendary group. What else is there to say? 9.1/10

So many great Aerosmith songs throughout their career, but this is the one true classic, 5-star Aerosmith album!

Love it. Own it.

p340. 1975. 5 stars. Before they became washed up drug addled parodies, Aerosmith were genuine contenders. This is excellent - great riffs, great guitar work, great voice and some great songs. To what heights could they have aspired if they hadn't snorted away all that talent.

A pure classic. 10/10

Ursprünglicher guter Rock!

Awesome

Goated album. Didn’t realize how many of Aerosmiths greatest hits came from this.

Sweet album. Sweet classics like Sweet Emotion. Many repeatable songs.

When I was in high school and just starting to play some guitar, “walk this way” was one of the first guitar riffs I learned. I then proceeded to download the entire album and listen to it on the school bus ride back and forth. I’m going to give this an album a 5 because it was so important for a pretty memorable time of my life. Has some banging tracks too that have really stood the test of time, despite people writing it off as “classic boomer rock”

aerosmith's third album is really fun. the title and album art immediately sets the mood here, a toy chest bursting with colorful and crazy trinkets and toys, plastic action-figure versions of steven tyler and the crew crawling out and giving the kiddies a good show. this album helped solidify the group's status as great rock musicians. a nice healthy blend of rock and blues to cleanse the mind and soul, tyler's voice characteristically scratchy, perry's riffs near-perfect... really what's not to like? i had an awesome time listening to this, and i'm sure you will too.
