Reviews (page 7 of 10)
Great - loved it. I only recognized one song (that I could sing to) but apparently I like Aerosmith because I enjoyed album from beg to end!
Been an Aerosmith fan for decades, but was raised off the radio hits and a CD of their greatest hits. Two of the heavy hitters were on this album, and maybe it's literal decades of exposure to their best, but the rest of the album began to feel like filler. Never bad, but not to the top of what I know they can do. Still an enjoyable ride.
A mid tier record from a mediocre band. If it wasn't for a few outstanding riffs, this would be completely forgettable. I really don't understand the hype this band has.
i don't know what to make of this record, if i like it or not. there are a few highlights, but man if the lows are lows. a great thing is that is mostly a fun album, i wouldn't get mad if i listened to it again, but i just don't get it. the opening of the album, \"toys in the attic\" is considered to be a first proto-punk track, but i don't think so at all. \"uncle salty\" is such a messy track that i think i grew to even like it (?), \"walk this way\" is so overplayed that whatever i say would be influenced by it. \"adam's apple\" is boring, but \"sweet emotion\" still sounds good like \"no more no more\". oh, and something everyone agrees to, what a bad closing track, so bad considering \"round and round\" is not bad at all. it's good to have a designated image and sound to that 70s sleazy youth, but maybe i just don't care that much like those guys (my father). and everywhere they like this album, i just can't seem to be or feel impressed, i just don't know what to do with it.
Just barely saved from one star by Sweet Emotion, a genuinely good song. All the rest made me grit my teeth in regret.
Very mediocre record saved by Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion. And even then I think the Run-DMC version of Walk This Way is better. Cheap sex appeal crammed into every song and renders them all more boring for it.
I was kind of excited about this album, because I know Aerosmith has some really good songs, including a couple on this album - Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion. Sadly, though, the first three songs kind of suck. No More No More is OK, and Round and Round is quite good, but other than those 4 songs, the rest of the album is decidedly meh. Overall, really disappointing album. I kinda would give it a 2.5 if I could.
Not my personal fav but a classic nonetheless
Okay
Excellent album, full of memorable riffs and some gritty rock n roll a la Stones. Sweet Emotion is just such a great song, ably supported by the title track and Walk this Way. The other tracks are largely solid rockers, although 10 inch record is forgettable. You See Me Crying is a nice ballad to close the album
Tönt guet! Jetzt nid da woni jede tag chent lose aber es isch stabile klassische rock. Han wie au nid meh dezue z sege 3.8/5
Honestlyes solids album! Gueti vocals un suuuupa gitarre! Dig it
Ha so fast kei notize gmacht zu dem, meega viel gitarre isch echt nice. Cha nöd viel sege es guete rock aber nöd woooow. No erstuunlich findi dases klar de sound vo früehnem hip-hop beiiflusst het. Z.b. beastie boys wo mer scho gha hend als album.
erste song titletrack nüt speziells afoch en rocksong? uncle salty bluesrock, s tönt alles schön crunchy. walk this way riese banger. chrank wie fest dass d drums noch hip hop töned. riff und alles crazy geil. solo seehr cool. big ten inch record isch afoch en penis joke oder? aber blues cool. sweet emotion easy nice. riff chli basic aber d hook isch sehr geil und die hinderschi abgspielte tön sind super. no more no more sehr southern rock und so. aber backing vocals sind hard. Round and Round isch langsam und härter? und flanger vocals sind geil? ich find s isch allgemein bitz republikaner-rock. you see me crying, er singt plötzlich bitz wie de labi siffre und s lied macht öppis? findi besser als die andere. eeendlich mol nöd nume zwei gitarre wo riffed und chli interessanti chords wenn de text scho afoch rock text isch. sust sorry sevi aber da git es zwei. vlt bini au z wenig ufmerksam gsi und gib dem album sim ifluss z wenig gwicht aber die meiste songs hani ehner bland gfunde. walk this way und you see me crying sind highlights. 2-3
I WAS CRYYYYYING WHEN I MET YOUUU NO WI'M TRYING TO FORGET YOUUUU ich han us irgeme grund sehr en softe spot für aerosmith hahaha aber ich kenn jz vo dem album nur sweet emotion und walk this way okeeee ja für mich ischs eifach rock. leider het mich nüt würkli mitgrisse, au wenns für die damalig ziit öppis speziells gsi isch? naja han get a grip lieber
A good listen. I like Aerosmith but haven't listened to this album in a long while - I have now listened to it on repeat. I forgot how good it is.
Nothing more than average rock music.
+pretty decent guitar +nothing too notable about the album apart from that +AGAIN, i keep saying this, a lot the songs aren't easily distinguishable (at least on the first listen) +big ten inch??? EXCUSE ME??? anyway, that song kinda stood out to me reminded me more of rockabilly not notable. it's just mediocre rock mostly 6/10
Actually not very loud, likeable
Passable but derivative
Listening to this album as a young teenager is where I first learned what "the rabbit died" meant. Ah, memories!
not for me - got sick of it quite quickly
Overall: I'm not sure I've ever heard this entire album, unless my parents owned and played it. Aside from the 2 hits and the below mentioned tracks, I could do without this entire record and struggled to not skip everything that came after Sweet Emotion. Track Breakdown: Toys in the Attic - Right out of the gate on this title track, driving solos and love that amazing bass breakdown @ 1:44 Big Ten Inch Record - I surprisingly enjoyed this track and its big band vibe.
While it was nice to hear some old favorites by Aerosmith, the B-tracks that I could swear I half-recognized brought this down. There's the old joke about guitarists only needing to know three chords to play a lot of popular music, but several tracks felt like Aerosmith scrubbed out their previous lyrics and just put in new ones - not that they copied somebody else, but that they went "That song didn't land, reuse what we already composed with new lyrics."
Nope, not for me. I thought it would be more fun and exciting, but i found it really daggy. Reminded me of those bands made up of old retired guys who play at the local RSL.
Classic rock key stone. Sweet emotion is still brilliant.
Better than I expected
Strip club rock. Good instrumentals but song subject was vapid and sleazy.
THe energy, the guitar, no wonder it's a classic. Love the rythm Aerosmith was on during the period which produced other awesome albums too!
Good stuff. Could probably listen on repeat.
I liked it!!!
How can you not like old school Aerosmith?
Classic Aerosmith!
Some of the less popular songs are pretty good, I've never heard them before. Early tracks remind me a bit of Blind Melon.
Hit or miss. Big Ten Inch... Really?!?! 3.11
Still a great album. So many favorites on this one.
A Middle School classic! School dance, polyester and bell bottoms…and girls!
Hard to find much to love after Walk This Way
attempt to sexualize their interpretation of the genre + 1 back in the 70s, steven tyler fucked an underaged groupie + 1 Tyler, who was suffering memory loss at the time from years of drug use, liked "You See Me Crying" so much, he suggested his group record a cover version, only to be told by his bandmate Perry, "It's us, fuckhead.” + 1 Vika Kappale viimeistelee kivaan pakettiin koko albumin soundin jonka takia täytynee antaa se neljäs rock and roll tähti..
Big Guitar Hero vibes. There are some hits, very distinct sound and definitely stable for some people. Not as bad as I was expecting but did not surprise either.
🤢
Other than Sweet Emotion, is there any reason to listen to this? No. One star for one song.
Sweet Emotion is all I need from this band. Fine, sure. They are a solid/great bar band. Just can't stand Steve Tyler's voice and delivery and I already own the good Rolling Stones records so I fail to see the point. 2.5
I like the blues rock style of a lof of these songs, and there are also a few I've heard before. Overall, a solid album.
Pretty good album
Solid classic rock album, fun listen
Very fun listen
Sweet Emotion and Walk this way only good songs
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
Many iconic songs on this album, good stuff
I'm feeling a high 3 on this one trans - -ition Have you given this album a listen? Did you love it did you hate it? What would you rate it?You're the best, you're the best. What should I review next? Hit the like if you like and please subscribe. Alex Mackey, Aerosmith, Forever.
I love Aerosmith. Another album with a nostalgia bias for me. But will be listening again.
3 star but "Big Ten Inch Record" brings it up to 4
love the classic hits and vibes that are in dad rock bands such as aerosmith. this album however? feels like it has a good bit of filler, and only a few tracks are what i want to listen to. tracks like 'walk this way' bring it up to an average 3.
despite the fact that i consider myself to have inherited a lot of my father’s music taste (who loves this album, by the way) i’ve never really been a huge fan of aerosmith. this was OK. would give it 2.5 stars if i could.
Hard Rockin' best seller for Aerosmith - their 3rd album and just a classic 70's album. Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion are clearly the standouts. Toys in the Attic is a great rocker. Uncle Salty and Adam's Apple are arguably the weakest tracks but they're not show stopping filler - overall it's a more developed, mature sound.
Aus heutiger Sicht z.T. etwas simpeler Rock. Das Titelstück geht gut ab. Weiterer top pick: _Sweet Emotion_. _Walk This Way_ (das mir bis dato einzig bekannte) und _Round And Round_ kann ich auch mal hören.
Classic
Pretty good my Aerosmith's standards.
Classic Aerosmith, good music
When they were badass. I've owned this lp since the 80's. This whole thing is great. Steven Tyler is phenomenal on this. Confidence and swagger on every track. A long time favourite.
fav song: walk this way
This is Aerosmith's third album, and their biggest commercial success. This work contains some of their biggest hits, like "Walk this Way" and "Sweet Emotion." The band's raunchy, confident style is a defining element of their songs, and their popular appeal made them one of the biggest rock bands of the 70s and 80s.
I'm surprised this is from the mid 70s, I thought it was late 80s. I love Sweet Emotion.
Solid 7/10. Very backloaded. Didn’t really care for Uncle Salty, BTIR, or Adam’s Apple. Title track and Sweet Emotion were fantastic, and the rest if the album ranged from great to good.
4/5
Honestly, it's not too bad. This is my 3rd Aerosmith album here and that's pretty much been my experience: I have low expectations and they somehow surpass them. Just like in the other 2 reviews it's the instruments that really are the star of this band. Hot take to infuriate the boomers and lovers of all things cock rock: Stephen (Steven? Who care) Tyler is not a very good vocalist. He brings it down and makes me hate the band. See also when they get too bluesy. No thanks. A 3 with a free shrug and a sigh.
The music here is quite impressive. The songs sound great, and there are two all-timers on this (Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion). At all times, though, it is very present just how dumb the members of this band are. Big Ten Inch Record is emblematic of the entire vibe: so stupid, sounds really good, dumb as hell.
I couldn’t like this no matter how hard I tried. Some of the more blues-y sounding songs were okay. It’s just not my jam.
Such a good Aerosmith album. Sweet Emotion, Toys in the Attic, and Walk this Way are all iconic.
so bangers
This album hits the ground running and doesn't let up for the majority of its runtime. Obviously Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion are mega hits, but Toys In The Attic and No More No More are great additions too. There are a couple tracks that I get the point of, but that I still would skip if I was listening again. There are some weird undertones throughout that I wish weren't there, but musically this is a really solid album. Highlight: Sweet Emotion Lowlight: Round And Round Surprise Hit: No More No More
Not bad for a Stones/Zep hybrid...
skipping. this band is wildly overrated
Forgot I knew all the words to Sweet Emotion.
HL: “Sweet Emotion”, “Walk This Way”, “Round and Round”, “Uncle Salty”, “No More No More” Back to the classics today December 13, 2023
Two massive hits, the rest wasn't what I was expecting from Aerosmith
The singles really carry this album "you see me crying" starts out as a solid ballad that took me by surprise. unfortunately, goes full cheese half way through. most of the ideas are just reassemblings of existing works from better bands.
Standard 70's rock in its's prime - with. lot of competition for air time back then. Classics Hits got air time and will be instantly recognizable ( "walk this way" and "sweet emotion" - standards associated) to Aerosmith to any casual listener. Other songs follow suit... can't push my rating to a 4 - - really a 3.5
Love, love, love Aerosmith! Not a huge fan of this album, but still good :)
Meh not the best Aerosmith
God, if you’re listening, please give me something from the 21st century man. This should be a Lady Gaga album
Almost exactly what I expected from Aerosmith, not necessarily my jam
Stop giving me Aerosmith. But for the final song this is dross.
Some real classics. Walk this way and sweet emotion. 3.8
I was never a giant Aerosmith fan but this album has a lot of their greatest hits on it and there are some great hits by them.. 'Walk This Way', 'Sweet Emotion', 'Round and Round' and 'You See Me Crying' are great songs. I can't say I love Aerosmith but I did like a lot of these songs. Overall: 2.6/5
This is the best Aerosmith would ever be, and it's bland and pedestrian. Sweet Emotion is the only thing preventing one star here.
not my cup of tea
Bit waily
Bluesy 70s radio play rock with some somewhat neat (and very sophomoric) lyrics and some bluesy guitar riffs. Feels like the whole album is B-sides though. 2.5/5
Classic. I think the songwriting is great along with the performances.
Favorite Tracks: Walk This Way Toys In The Attic Sweet Emotion
Un escencial del Hard Rock y uno de los mejores álbumes de Aerosmith, considerando que su carrera ha sido mantenerse en un sonido constante, sin innovar mucho o desviar de la fórmula clásica de la "música con guitarras".
Nej detta var ganska trist.
Trodde walk this way var bättre. Sången låter som när en mellanchef ska rappa på en konferens. Till sitt försvar så var Steven före sin tid i denna kategori
#1 sådär #2 bra. Bra sångröst. #3 inte lika bra. #4 inte bra rock. Ska ju vara en hit. Men simpelt och låter som en låt ur en "lär sig spela rock vol. VI" #5 nej tack #6 otroligt bra. Högt å lågt på denna skiva. Men denna är grym. #7 sämre igen. Simpelt. #8 ok #9 nej Totalt ganska platt. Bitvis rätt B. Två bra låtar.
Mycket hög och jämn kvalitet på den här skivan - ingen låt är dålig och för mig är det verkligen (”hård”) rock 101 (med undantag för rockabillylåten, som också är bra). De stora klassikerna är bra men inte riktigt på samma episka nivå som t ex Dream on, vilket skulle krävts för en femma. Stark fyra dock.
Gear: DCA ÆON 2 Noire Mische: shouty, kickt nich so, Hörner sind netter Touch Mugge: im ersten Durchlauf nicht sonderlich beeindruckend (Ausnahme "Walk this Way" und "Sweet Emotion") Wertung: 2/5
Fun enough, but nothing stands out
Svingede lidt mellem 3 og 4. Synes der er noget god blues og tråd, men måske lidt for generic og uinspireret til det rigtigt interesserer mig
Solid album. Not just a few singles/hits with filler.
One of the better Aerosmith albums some classics
- Great classic sound - Nothing much to say about Aerosmith, it was fun to listen to - 3.5
- impressive variety - crazy how far rock has come, those pianos just don’t exist these days - jack of all trades, master of none?
Very old school rock music by today's standards.
This was bad. I like a bit of Aerosmith but I found it very hard to get through this. Walk This Way salvaged it for me but only just.
Great rock album, packed with classics. It’s not hard rock so it can be played in several situations.
Not a fan of Aerosmith but their best album, grows on you on repeated plays
Not my usual kind of music but listen the whole album Walk This Way is a good track (probaly just from RunDMC familiarity) but gets too guitary towards the end Big Ten Inch is a surprising different style. Like the instrumental but not the lyrics. It wasn't as heavy as I was expecting but really not my thing. Generally didn't get anything from the album.
I liked this but I didn't love it. I do think it would be a great album to listen to again, so I am giving it 4 stars. While listening I kept thinking how it would be a great addition to my vinyl collection.
3.5
I was expecting over the top singing. Glad that didn't happen until the last song.
A classic. This is their best album. This album's detractors are mostly by people who can't stand it that these guys wrote their own music, actually played their own instruments, and didn't use backing tracks when playing live. It's called "classic" rock for a reason. If you can't rock out to "Sweet Emotion", then you don't deserve to have functioning eardrums.
So great. Pure rock and roll - no BS. Love it.
never really gave aerosmith a proper shot but I should've known I'd enjoy this this much just based on how much I love the start of Dazed and Confused. Awesome album just nothing but fun the whole way through, even if it's a little too horny

If cocaine made a noise, then this album would be it. And it’s actually pretty catchy. I’m almost angry at how good Walk This Way is.
I was ready to give this the benefit of the doubt, the title track had the R.E.M. stamp of approval. And that song is perfectly fine, as were the other singles. But songs like 12 Inch which pair gross double entendre with the laziest 12 bar blues and the reprehensible transphobia of Adams Apple destroy any minuscule goodwill those songs may have offered. This does not belong anywhere near this list
Walk This Way can’t fix this mess. This is just bad. Steven Tyler is not good. Joe Perry is decent. These songs are not good. I wanted to give this a 2, but the more I listened, the more I hated it.
I thought the album with Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way would be an easy 5, but the rest was pretty forgettable. Does Steven really have a 10 incher?
Pretty good
Not a favorite but a good one
It's alright, but not essential. Reminds me of early Queen, but not as good. Favorite song: You See Me Crying
Loved it Front to back really good Favorite songs: toys in the attic, walk this way, sweet emotions
- Great album, makes me think of my times playing Aerosmith Guitar Hero - Favorite tracks: Toys in the Attic, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, Big Ten Inch Record
чистейшая хуета
This doesn't even being to hint at the sleazy powerhouse Aerosmith was to become in the 80s and 90s
Standard AOR. File under nothing special.
2/5
Meh
#39. There's a reason you've only heard Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way. Most songs would be better as an instrumental. Steven Tyler is cheesy in a way I find tiresome, except for when he's being outright creepy. Why are so many of his lyrics about banging children? 2/5: meh Song added to playlist: Sweet Emotion I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book.

Another one I have on vinyl. Sweet Emotion is still one of the best bass lines of all time.
Couple of classic bangers, ok otherwise
Interesting to hear the blues elements mixed in with a great American rock album. Sweet Emotion is an all-time great track.
woo-ohh wo-oooh groooovy
Ja opzich maar niet laaiend enthousiast ofzo
Pretty good, Big Ten Inch Record is howver, terrible. Definitely need to listen to it again and louder.
Last night I tried to tease her I gave my love a little pinch She said now stop that jivin' Now whip out your big ten inch Record of a band that plays the blues Well a band that plays the blues She just loves my big ten inch Record of her favorite blues 5/5
Aerosmith are a weird band. Sweet Emotion is great, though.
Aerosmith carried the torch of horny, bluesy rock from Led Zeppelin. Sweet Emotion is pretty great.
Some cool songs but mostly sounds very similar to one another.
Carried by 2 massive singles, some random classic rock n roll in there.
Sentimental fave. Classic 70’s rock.
Really good. There's no bad songs here and there's 2 songs almost back to back that are classics. I will say tho the album art is a little bit hideous looking
Maybe I shouldn't be surprised because it's Aerosmith, but this album is straight bangers start to finish. Toys in the attic and you see me crying are IMO a perfect opening anx closing track. While this isn't my favorite genre of rock, I cannot find a reason to give this less than a perfect score. Truly the best of Aerosmith. My favorite track was Uncle salty
Second listen through grew on me. While never being a huge Aerosmith fan, their blues and funk inspirations come out strong in the album. Walk This Way, Big Ten Inch Record, Sweet Emotion and Round and Round are the star tracks of the album. 4/5.
Really epic, Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way are classics but a lot of instrumentals and new tracks on this that stand out
These lyrics fuckin suck
Aerosmith has always been more of a singles band than an album band for me. Toys in the Attic reaffirms this idea. Sweet Emotion and Walk this Way are classics. Most of the rest is forgettable. 3/5
Biased because Aerosmith is amazing, overall a great album with some of their top hits
The was a pretty good album for me
I was never really a fan of Aerosmith and this album didn't really change that. That being said, it wasn't bad and I recognized a few of their hits off of it. 3/5
2/9, 22%
It doesn't really get more Aerosmith-ier than this album. If you want Aerosmith nobody would be disappointed if you put this one on. With standout tracks like "Toys in the Attic", "Walk This Way", and "Sweet Emotion" you'll be having a good ole 70's rock time. Tracks like "Adam's Apple" and "No More No More" leave something to be desired but hey, not every song can be great. And then theres "Big Ten Inch Record" (get it? it's his penis!) which I don't really know how I feel about. All this boils down to a solid 3/5 album. I mean, it is Aerosmith so you can't really expect more than that.
3.5 stars. "Sweet Emotion" is an incredible song that has an iconic bass riff. "Walk This Way" has equally catchy hook as gross lyrics? "You See Me Crying" is what a power ballad done well sounds like. But the rest of the album is meh,
Had a surprisingly good time listening to this. It's 70s rock with some added funk in a couple of tracks. Good listen!
In high school and college, I almost exclusively listened to classic rock and eighties music. I enjoyed Aerosmith back then, but over the past few years, I've really soured on them. I'm not sure if it's the sexual assault allegations against Steven Tyler (another incident literally came out today), or if their sound hand just grown old on me. Either way, I wasn't looking forward to any of the three Aerosmith albums on this list (I've already gotten Pump, which I surprisingly enjoyed). But just like Pump, I enjoyed Toys in the Attic. I'd always heard that this was a great classic rock album, but I never got around to listening to all of it during my heavy classic rock days. The guitar riffs are absolutely fantastic; Joe Perry's guitar playing has such a distinct sound, and it's present throughout this album. There are moments of brilliance for other bits of instrumentation on this album as well: the bassline on "Sweet Emotion" coupled with the vibraphone helps to create a unique blues rock sound, and the piano parts on "Round and Round" and "You See Me Crying" were fantastic as well. "Sweet Emotion" is my favorite song by Aerosmith, and one of my favorite classic rock songs overall. I've already mentioned my love for the bassline, but the guitar riff after each verse is incredible as well. I'm not a big fan of "Walk This Way," but I'll admit that it's catchy, and I certainly can't deny its influence in the grand scheme of popular music. "Uncle Salty" felt like a thematic predecessor to Pump's "Janie's Got A Gun," with its story of abuse perpetrated by a child's guardian; it's kind of odd hearing Aerosmith sing about something so serious and taboo in a way, but I think this song really sticks the landing. Sure, the sexual crudeness "Big Ten Inch Record" and "Adam's Apple" are probably not going to land with a lot of people, especially with the allegations against Steven Tyler these days. However, I'll take crude double entendres over lyrics with overt misogyny or unwanted sexual advances any day of the week. I think one of my favorite things about listening to the two Aerosmith albums that I've heard so far, is that the band can do upbeat, loud, and fast paced songs really well, but they can also slow things down and get serious just as well. They did such a great job of taking blues rock and making their own distinct version of it. This isn't an album that I'll be itching to listen to in its entirety again, but I think it's worthy of a five star rating, because I believe it's genuinely good piece of music, and it's had a lasting impact on popular music and culture. Steven Tyler, though: you get one star.
pretty deece
A great album. Every track is top class.
Quite a complete album, with great personality and songs that still get played nowadays
Its better than i remmeber
Twas okay.
Didn't have a chance to listen yesterday. So I'll go through a few songs this morning. Sweet Emotion is on here. That always reminds me of Dazed and Confused. Oh and Walk This Way.
Naturally I know this album, or at least parts of it, though I’m more familiar with their later works (this is already their third album?!?). Not my usual cup of tea, but I really appreciate the beats, the exuberance of the singing, and the implied strutting, even if Steven Tyler himself is a real sleazeball. Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion really hold up and I love the swing rhythm of Big Ten Inch Record. But Round and Round and You See Me Crying are tedious.
Good old school glam rock and roll. I knew walk this way but didn't know it was from Aerosmith and that this was the original version (besides the one with run DMC)- I am happy I have rediscovered it. Not sure it fit the mood of the day, but lately I am not sure what fits the mood to start with. Upbeat, rocky, glammy.
mostly like arena rock which i wasn’t really in the mood for in the moment but it’s good obvs and the last song was unique and cool
fun
Absolute banger from 1 - 9. Great rock time capsule.
Rock solid rock album. This is what I think of when I imagine peak 70s rock.
This came out after I took a hard right to acoustic music. It is OK but It still is not my jam.
Decent and fun
Not a strong start to this album in my opinion, but by the time you hit Walk This Way and onwards it really picks up, pretty fun listen. 3.5
A few classics surrounded by OK filler
The sequencing of this album has always bothered me. Toys in the Attic is a nice start, but then Adam's Apple and Uncle Salty are next. I find these two songs to be the weakest on the record and there are much better songs on here that would have flowed better after Toys in the Attic. The highs are high on this album but there are also a few lows, which for me, means the album does not get a five-star review. I guess you would need to hear this album just for the two big hits, but Aerosmith's catalog is so varied between the 70's, 80's and 90's output then really the exact album to recommend depends on the person you are recommending it to. "You See Me Crying" is a very underrated song. Really good album, even if I find there to be some lows.
This album rocked! They make some good fun rock music, and nobody does it like Stephen Tyler.
Great album
Aerosmith was a band that got me deeper into hard rock growing up, and this was one the pivotal albums for me. I feel that a lot of the artist's tone became weaker as I got older, and it almost drowns in a sea of better performed and written music. Some tracks on this one are stellar, while others feel like they wander aimlessly and crudely.
2/5
I’ve never been an Aerosmith fan but you can’t deny they’re a staple in the classic rock genre. The album got better as it went along.
Reminds me of my childhood. Nice balance of fast pace and slow melody. Enjoyable, and now I'm listening to classic rock again of my own free will.
Not a great fan. Prefer aerosmirhs other work.
Really enjoyed it. Some bangers and every song in the album is good or at least decent, with some being great. (78%)
80s hair band. Yuck
I don't get why this album is here.
Knew the hits on this album but have never listened to much Aerosmith. Enjoyed it
HELL YES, my favorite Aerosmith album. Toys is a classic opener, the Hits go hard, and I can't wait to see em live in January. Hopefully Steven doesn't hurt himself again screaming too loud before the show.... Dudes got froggy lips, a big mouth, and can scream like a psychopath.
Decent but could barely understand the lyrics. The best song was sweet emotion for sure. I did like that is was very upbeat and cool/rock vibes
I know so many of these songs but haven’t listen to full. And learned a few new ones or a bit rockabilly with Big 10 inch record
Standout songs: No More No More, Round and Round, Uncle Salty, Toys in the Attic
Eh, it was fine. 2/5
It's fine and pretty generic sounding 70s era rock.
Great listen, shows Aerosmith is worth listening to beyond the hits. Classic tracks include “Walk this Way” and “Sweet Emotion”, but the rest of it is classic Aerosmith sound worth coming back to. 4/5.
3.5
Underwhelming overall, but some solid hits.
Second Aerosmith album of my list, first one was Rocks. It's good, but as far as 70s rock bands go I don't think they'll ever be my favourite. I'd need to listen to Rocks again to compare this to it, and I wager there will be a couple more Aerosmith records to come before the 1001 is done. But yeah, it seems a bit middle-of-the-road and I think there were other bands doing better than this back in '75. This wasn't really bad and I might listen again - Walk This Way is a classic, after all. It feels like the energy of the album jumps around too much. One song gets my full attention and the next song totally loses it. Just decent in my opinion, but not a stand-out record. Favourite - Walk This Way
Obviously love sweet emotion and walk this way but as a whole not the entire album
This album is probably a 3.5 for me but because Steven Tyler is a creep I will give him the 1 he deserves
A big fave back in the day.
Covered by REM. That’s good enough for me
With Toys In The Attic I thought I might be wrong about this album (not about Aerosmith in general though). But I wasn't. Thank god Run DMC managed to improve Walk This Way!. The best song on the album is Aerosmith's cover of Bull Moose Jackson's Big Ten Inch. As for ending with a hard rock band style ballad? Ugh.
Can’t get past Steven Tyler. I’ve never liked this band
Rigtig far-rock, hård guitar, og et par bangers
This was one of the first albums on my iPod Nano in middle school, but it was also one of the ones that fell off of my radar as I got sick of the crudeness of peak classic rock. Adam's Apple, Big Ten Inch Record are among the ones I remember from my childhood for being gratuitiously lewd (others being from AC/DC, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, etc.). And I don't mean to be prude, but just kinda burnt out on it. When every album has a meme track about sex, it gets a bit old. That said, I have forgotten how deep this album is. No more No more feels moderately overlooked, but is great, I forgot that Sweet Emotion was even on this disc, and the titular Toys in the Attic is an absolute banger. I overall liked this trip down memory road, even with steven tyler's memable "yowling on you seem me crying" (which is a hilarious prelude to the already-a-meme "I don't want to miss a thing"). Its a good album, but I can't give a fair review when I'm burnt out on generic classic rock guys doing guy things. Maybe this is me getting old and lame.
The production quality on this album is really quite impressive. Seems great for playing on a sunny morning weekend to get the energy flowing. Actually a pretty great rock album despite how trailer trash American it feels
Very nice
More mostly-boring dad rock
okayish, no repeat
Haven't heard this since before high school. When Aerosmith didn't suck. Favorites: Toys, Uncle Salty, Sweet Emotion.
- Dad rock vibes - Pretty good, had some classic songs - 7.5/10
=Klassik Rock +hat ein oder zwei bekannte Lieder -ich könnte auch Elton John hören -etwas langweilig +you see me crying ist ganz okay Es war ganz okay als Hintergrundmusik während ich meine BA beschrieben habe, aber das ist ehrlich nicht mein Stil. Hardrock in diesem Stil ist entweder zu anstrengend um zu entspannen oder nicht anstrengend genug zum headbangen. So sind halt die Klassiker.
Fun rock music but not my cup of tea. Probably won't listen to it again.
classic. Good time blues. Great production and arrangement. A little to much so. Vocals a little buried Enjoyed this one better on my second listen Standout tracks for me Uncle Salty Round and Round
Instrumentals and vocals are great, but everything else I don’t much care for. Only really two tracks popped out for me; nothing really else did. 4/10
I'm not a big Aerosmith fan, but this is a pretty great album actually. Only a couple duds, most of the singles are some of my favorites by the band, and there's some great album tracks in there too. Honestly, would relisten. 3.5/5
Old fashioned 70s rock! Besides the obvious hits, Uncle Salty and Big Ten Inch Record don’t disappoint. You can tell by these songs they were still a little rough around the edges, but then you hit Sweet Emotion and you remember why they are legends. I like the roller coaster in Disney to.
I grew up hearing a lot of Aerosmith music, partly because I grew up in the late 70s and early 80s when Aerosmith was very popular, and also because they are a local band to Boston's South Shore, where I was. I didn't listen to a lot of Aerosmith as I got older, so it was nice to return to this album after all this time. I remember very well the handful of super-popular tracks, but it was great to re-hear the other tracks, too. Reminds me that this band is more versatile and interesting than a lot of contemporary popular rock bands of the time. I like the influence of funk and those styles. As musicians, they are superbly strong. Some really good writing and compositional work here, too. Overall, great album.
Meh
Opens with a banger! Makes me wanna mosh. It’s downhill from there. But overall it rocks.
Some standouts and some more boring parts.
There are some definite rock standards on this album, particularly Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion. It's hard to deny their significance. Unfortunately, this period is arguably the height of Steven Tyler's sleaziness. While it's tempting to try to separate the art from the artist, it's hard when you hear songs like Uncle Salty. In Tyler's words: "Salty worked in a home for lost children and had his way with this little girl." That's a little too close for comfort to the accusations against Tyler. Sadly, some of these songs hit a lot differently when you know the background.
Sub par 70s rock
I can't get excited about Aerosmith at all, but I don't have any real complaints. I could probably copy and paste my thoughts on Motorhead
Based on my late 80s perception of Aerosmith I was surprised by the variety of styles here. I don't like the song Big Ten Inch Record, but have to admit its not what I was expecting. Have also been educated by how old Walk This Way is. Standouts for me are Sweet Emotion and You See Me Crying
Ugh, slogging through this album was difficult...even Walk This Way was annoying. Only song that stand out is Sweet Emotion, by a mile the best song, perhaps the only enjoyable song on this album
This album makes you wonder why Aerosmith decided to become Air Supply in the 90s.
I was really glad to have this one here. I have found that I quite like the 70s incarnation of Aerosmith. While "Walk this Way" is a bona fide Aerosmith classic, I'm embarrassed to admit that "Sweet Emotion" is one of those songs I've heard frequently all my life, yet had no idea it was Aerosmith. Who knew? My favorite new discovery was the big ol' over-the-top orchestrated "You See Me Crying."
Oh, yes! This is a great album. I guess I forgot how great...but, no, actually now that I think of it, I think that I simply appreciate it more now than when I was younger, because I recall thinking that it was good, but I don't know about great...until now.
This one's on my top shelf. A desert-island-disc. A favorite of all favorites. heart-heart-heart
Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way have been favorite songs of mine ever since I heard the cool kids at the back of the bus playing them on my daily ride to junior high. They’re joined here by 7 more tracks that I enjoyed hearing. I was sort of surprised when I heard You See Me Crying. I had kind of assumed that the softer, orchestral side of Aerosmith was something they aged into in the 90s, yet here we are in 1975 with this lovely track. Aerosmith at their finest!
Fave track: Sweet Emotion
AJ: Sweet Emotion rules. That’s it for me.
Aside the big hits on this album, it's not my fave Aerosmith record.
Lively but extremely repetitive. OK if it was on already playing, but it does get annoying to listen to as a full album.
Tää nyt ei ollu maailmaa mullistava mun mielestä. Tylerilla on hieno ääni ei siinä mitään, mutta biisit jää ikävästi perusrokin puolelle. 2/5
Ihan jees ja pari tarttuvaa biisiä, mutta aika välinpitämättömänä tätä kuuntelee. 2,5/5.
Aerosmithin hittilevy. Onhan se keskimääräistä parempaa jenkkirockia, 3.5/5
decent album with 2 bangers
Highlights - Sweet Emotion, Round and Round Didn't enjoy this album for the most part. Sweet Emotion is a banger though. The album, overall, had much more of a blues vibe than I expected. 2/5
VRaiment juste oubliable, C'est leur album le plus commercial, le plus connu aussi. Pas le meilleur et il s'est fait connaitre probablement a cause de Run DMC que le reste... 3
It was okay. The guys are memorable, but the rest wasn't impressive.
I love Aerosmith, I had heard this album many times before
Интересный факт: лирический герой песни Walk this Way - сорокалетний мужик 4/10
2/5. Like yeah this is definitely a high tier rock album but is it actually fun to listen to? A little? The hits are good but they wear down over time. Honestly the last two songs on the album slap but there are a few to get through to get there. The album doesn't hit the spots for me but I appreciate the quality of songwriting.
8/10 Surprised me, knew some songs but all were good
Surprisingly, I enjoyed this album and even some of the lesser known (to me) tracks were quite good. I say surprisingly as I am an Aerosmith hater -- in small doses it's enjoyable for this 40 minute album.
I tried, y'all. I tried to find a 5-star review here. But it's just not a 5-star record. It's two massive hits shoved into the middle of a bunch of good-but-not-great rock tracks. Those hits are true monsters, no doubt, but they stick out because they're SO different from the rest of the album. The whiplash of "Walk This Way" to "Big Ten Inch Record" to "Sweet Emotion" is utterly disorienting. They don't sound like the same band recorded all three tracks. At least the album is symmetrical? Three tracks of alright-but-kinda-boring dad rock, a banger, a turd, a banger, and three tracks of alright-but-kinda-boring dad rock. It's a good thing those two bangers are all-time great, hall-of-fame jams. Otherwise this would have score a lot lower. A lot.
Relativ langweilig 2-3 gute Songs
Classic banger
Ok, obviously I’m familiar with Aerosmith. I see a couple on here that are 5s, Walk This Way, and Sweet Emotion. Be interesting to listen to the rest. Oh yeah, Big Ten Inch Record I’ve heard before. Randall was a big Aerosmith fan for a while, I wouldn’t be surprised if he played this record for me. Funny, I don’t remember the Smith sounding this way. I always thought of them as a backup Rolling Stones. But Steven Tyler is kind of at the back of the sound a lot of the time. Ok, got to Walk This Way. Is this album 3 good songs with a bunch of filler? Track 7 starts off nice - yeah, more Tyler upfront, more harmony … it’s almost like they became Aerosmith after that three song run in the middle. Yeah, even this one is kind of bland after a promising start. Nice Joe Perry work on the solo in the middle though.
Really enjoy the energy and driving hard rock from Aerosmith. Very easy to listen to the songs on this album. Also the innuendo in Big Ten Inch Record is genuinely funny. Love how Stephen Tyler has no problem coming right through the front door with this one.
Brought back many memories of Senior year in HS for me.
4.5
nice
THIS SUCKS
I expected more from Aerosmith,this album is perfectly serviceable rock,nothing amazing.Walk this way is pretty good and so is toys in the attic but the rest is bland.
Toys in the Attics is about as quintessential as classic rock gets. Although there aren't any there truly fantastic songs until the end, most of them are straight classics. They hit just the right sort of fun rock-and-roll itch that classic rock tends to fall short of. Fun all the way through, and a great vibe. Standout tracks: Toys in the Attics, No More No More, Round and Round, You See Me Crying ---------------------------------------- Individual Song Ratings: Toys in the Attic - Fantastic Uncle Salty - Great Adam's Apple - Fantastic Walk This Way - Great Ten Inch Record - Great Sweet Emotion - Great No More No More - Fantastic Round and Round - Masterpiece You See Me Crying - Masterpiece Rating Average: 3.8 Final Album Rating: 4
Hyvät kappaleet hyviä, muut ok. Sweet Emotion kova. Walk This Waysta kuullut Run DMC versiota liikaa niin orkkis kuullosti vähän oudolta.
C'était pas trop le moment mais vas-y
j'ai pas trop fait attention mais u go guys
Meh. I've never been overly impressed by these guys.
Steve Tyler is a fucking creep, but this album does kinda rock so fuck it
BL: Aerosmith is a band I don’t have very high thoughts of. Besides walk this way the only things I know about them is everything the lead singer has done. Putting that aside for an objective review I’ll see how this plays out AL: this was a very mixed bag. I found the first half to be very derivative and uninspired, at some points like “Adam and Eve” straight up insulting, but the second half had some good stuff on it. The problem with this record is that it’s mostly derivative rock music that’s pretty cookie cutter, the most famous track has a much better version with Run-DMC on it and nothing else other than sweet emotion stands out to general audiences. So I’m not really sure why this album made the list. The final closing thought would be: just a generic rock album. FT: “sweet emotion”, “no more no more” 2/5
Good rock and/or roll from Joe Perry and his paedo pal
Good
Pretty generic classic rock. Guitar and vocals were both excellent, but this didn't really do much for me.
meh
Before even listening to this I just have to question, how have I already gotten three Aerosmith albums on this list? I'm not a fan of their music, I think Steven Tyler is a proven creep (look up his current lawsuit) and I really didn't think I'd be getting another album of theirs in this list. Once again, Aerosmith is just not my thing. The few standouts were their major hits and I'll admit those are decent. I was disappointed that this version of 'Walk This Way' was without Run DMC, which I didn't even realize existed. Standout Tracks: Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion
You can't be a 12 year old from the Boston area and not have a big Aerosmith phase. After your Boston phase, that is. We don't have many bands! I don't know how much they hold up for me now, they kind of give off the vibes of theater kids playing rockers, it feels a bit dated now, but it's still pretty fun to hear Walk this Way and Sweet Emotion in context. Big Ten Inch in between them is a bit cringe, just a standard blues track behind an extended dick joke. I'd go 3.5 for nostalgia's sake but 4 is too far for me 18 years later haha. Man, Steven Tyler loves songs about crying lol.
Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion saved this one. Not a big Aerosmith fan.
Pretty good hard rock borrowing more from Les Zeppelin than I previously noticed. The songs on this album are better than almost all of their later hits.
If I wanted to listen to Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones I’d do that. To me Aerosmith is a poor man’s imitation of these acts, and aside from “Sweet Emotion” (an absolute banger) nothing on here blew me away. Round and Round” was another highlight and had some great lead guitar by Joe Perry.
Context: Only knew a few songs from Aerosmith Listens: 1 This album is very surprising as I wasn't expecting any Blues music but you can almost feel the band transition to their more well know sound in tracks like Walk this Way and Sweet Emotion, fun listen.
kinda meh
Fine, I guess. Nothing special. Would have scored lower without the hit songs.
Aside from Sweet Emotions (my fave), the rest of the songs were fine. Standard Aerosmith - heavy guitar, busy.
Good classic rock, some orchestral stuff thrown in as well
Instant teleurstelling op de maandagochtend; alleen de Aerosmith only versie van Walk This Way. Pfff... Uncle Salty en Adam's Apple zijn echt alles wat ik niet chill vind aan Aerosmith en ik ben al niet echt een fan. En zonder grappen, de andere versie van Walk This Way is echt veeeeeel beter. Ik ben echt geen fan van dit album tot nog toe. Big ten inch record is dom, maar wel een soort van grappig en Aerosmith uit hun comfortzone, bijna bluesy? Ik weet niet, vond Pump niet fantastisch maar nog wel grappig ofzo, dit is gewoon niet eens grappig of interessant? Ik hoop dat dit het laatste Aerosmith album op de lijst is.. Favo: Sweet Emotion, Toys in the attic
Ik vind het nice dat dit iets meer terughoudender is dan Pump, ik vind schreeuwende Steven Tyler toch minder fijn. Desalniettemin, vind ik het album daarom ook wel overwegend saai. Prima achtergrond muziek voor het werken, maar niet iets wat ik nog vaker zou luisteren. Favorieten: Walk This Way
bästa låten är medioker
The most interesting and enjoyable Aerosmith album on this list by a long way. Whilst the other two go all in on the Aerosmith classic rock, this is much for varied in style. It includes 1950s Rock 'n' Roll (Big 10 Inch Record), a touch of psychedelia (Sweet Emotion), and is it me, or does Shenia Twain's 'Man I Feel Like A Woman' owe a lot to 'Uncle Salty'? It still has big riffs, but the variety gives them breathing space and allows them to stand out, rather than getting lost in unrelenting bigness like on 'Pump' and 'Rocks'. Rating: 3.5/5 Playlist track: Walk This Way Date listened: 27/08/23
Suck on my big ten inch...classy.
I knew some of the songs but rock is not my favorite genre.
70s Aerosmith was adrenaline and this album is prove of it. With a couple of successful songs that are still widely played almost 50 years after and other solid bangers, Toys in the Attic is one of the best 70s hard rock albums. I does not disappoint, I guess…
I think Aerosmith might be the most perfect example of bland classic rock purely meant for the background, and nothing else. Absolutely nothing stands out, nor is anything here worth remotely focusing on. But it is just agreeable enough to be the faint soundtrack to a summertime barbeque
sounds classic. Some songs were so listeneable like Walk this way o Sweet emotions, but in this context were really great. Maybe Round and round was my fav, sounds heavy, good riff but a little bit repetitive. Good album, like it
This wasn’t very special. Sweet Emotion is an all time classic of a jam and Walk This Way is a rollicking good track but the rest is just ok at best, there’s some peaks but overall it’s unmemorable and Bog Ten Inch is fucking dumb as shit. 3 stars I guess
I'm enjoyed the guitar riffs and I've heard a few of the songs a thousand times. It's weird hearing them in the context of an album. They feel out of place. Also, almost every song is about sex. The last song is a ballad and it's weird. Tyler sounds like a dying rat in parts of the song. This album is not for me. I can maybe see why people enjoyed it almost 50 years ago but I just don't get much out of it.
Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Walk this way, You see me crying
nice
I really enjoy Aerosmith and I know this is one of their best albums, but the band really has a lot of unrealized potential. It shows on songs like Sweet Emotion where their experimentation is at its best. They are capable of great songs, but then fill the album with half baked, completely forgettable tracks. Everything else is great, I just wish the writing had a little more attention paid to it. 3/5
"Camel Cigarettes: The Album" Sweet Emotion is Aerosmith's only good song.
I just don’t like this band. It’s generic blues rock at best. It’s a mediocre bar band. The only reason this is not a one star album to me is because Sweet Emption is a good song and even that, I am not sure if I really like it, or just have good associations with its use in Dazed and Confused.
Less awful than I feared. Expected same macho guitar shit as the average metal is too me, but this is slightly better. His voice, well you either like it or find it exagerrated, I am of last school. So not 1 but 2 stars.
Powerful classic rock: may not be their finest work but with filled with powerful guitar riffs and making you feel like a heavily tattooed American biker. Once “walk this way” came in the album was set in stone to do well. A really enjoyable album.
sumamente inmersivo
This was a bit of a test for me as I had a very negative opinion of Steven Tyler. So this was a case of trying to separate the art from the artist. I thought that ‘Sweet Emotion’ was one hell of a great track but when I listened to the lyrics it just made me cringe! Similar with ‘Round & Round’ - the lyrics about a 16 year old…and ‘Walk this Way’ about schoolgirls. He was 27 when this was released. Lyrics and story telling is a huge part of why I enjoy music, and this was just too sleazy against the backdrop of his life choices. It just made it too difficult to enjoy the art. I tried, but I failed!
Ah fuck all my notes have disappeared! Anyway, I was surprised at how much I liked it, as I'm not a metal fan or whatever genre they were at this time in their career. Interesting sound, at times sounded a bit like a heavy Bolan/T Rex, mixed with blues. But you can hear the influence they must have had on the hideous soft rock from the 80's. Best tracks; Walk This Way and the second half of the album. - 3
