Description of Toys in the Attic:
Originally released in 1975, this was Aerosmith's breakout recording. Listeners only familiar with their more recent, post-comeback material may be surprised; like their other albums from the 1970s, Toys has a strong blues inflection, as indicated by their cover of "Big Ten Inch Record," which also shows that Aerosmith has never lacked raunchiness or innuendo. There's also the original (pre-Run-D.M.C.) version of "Walk This Way," and the classic "Sweet Emotion." This is classic Aerosmith at its gritty, streetwise best; they may have been derivative, but it really doesn't matter, then or now: it's all in good fun. --Genevieve Williams
Toys in the Attic Reviews:
Greatest "American" rock band ever 
2009-12-06 - Probably the second very best Aerosmith recordings. This was my first introduction to the band and I still have the good time feelings when I play it. These songs were the reason for being a "Rocker" and picking up a guitar. Great songs, great band, good times.
Hits and slugs 
2009-11-16 - 3 1/2
Certainly a formidable prototype for the boy's early blues rock, the disc is at its scuzzy best when blaring as background, as not all tracks can hold up next to their signature work.
One Of The Band's All Time Best
2009-11-10 - This is one of Aerosmith's most popular album's naturaly cause it contains the all time classic hit's Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion & Toy's In The Attic making Aerosmith's rock and music God's in every aspect and put them on the map in Rock N Roll/Music history
1. Toy's In The Attic- Starting with a bluesy Rock guitar from Mr.Perry this is pure classic Aerosmith just a great fast paced hard rock song's with fun vocals by Stephen great drums by Kramer & Hamilton gives a funky bass line to help with the rock vibe of the song great start to the album 5/5
2. Uncle Salty- Great song here from the boy's a killer bass and guitar hook with classic Rock N Roll blues mixture and I love the lyrics as well the boy's are on top game on this one 5/5
3. Adam's Apple- Joe and Brad start the song with a country esque guitar hook and Kramer hit's the symbols and Tyler's off this is another great hard rock song from the group but I love the Honky Tonk nature almost like a fast paced version of Honky Tonk Woman 5/5
4. Walk This Way- Not much I can say about this classic that hasn't been said starting with one of the most famous guitar rift's of all time it gave Aero smith a big boost in there killer and rode them into history 5/5
5. Big Ten Inch Record- Pretty good remake of the Fred Weismantel classic but it's probably my least favorite song on the record I mean it's a good remake but I like the song's the boy's wrote themselves better 4/5
6. Sweet Emotion- This is another song that rode them into history going from a classic intro and chorus leading to yet another one of the most famous guitar rifts of all time classic Smith on this one 5/5
7. No More, No More- An underrated track on the album I love the bluesy/Dylan vibe the song gives and I like the lyrics some of the best on the album as well 5/5
8. Round & Round- Another classic rift from Joe & Brad bring to life another great Rock song with a killer chorus by Tyler and hook it's a great lead up to See Me Crying
9. You See Me Crying- Very different pace from the other 3 song's starting with a great piano arrangement with orchestras mixed in this is a beautiful heartfelt song, It's one of the group's best ballads and has some of Tyler's best vocals I love the hard rock of the first 3 tracks then a slow down 5/5
One of the band's best an absolute classic 100 percent recommended
The Foundation on which All Rock is Built
2009-10-15 - This is it. This is the bedrock of Rock in my eyes.
For years after I found Toys in the Attic, I didn't go anywhere without it by my side.
Toys in the Attic is permanently burned into my brain. I can call up any of the songs from memory and play it in my head without missing a note. They are classic, they are timeless, they are pure.
The strongest songs are Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, and Adam's Apple...in that order. The weakest are Big Ten Inch (pretty crass) and Toys in the Attic (pretty repetitive).
This is one of the top 10 Rock albums in my collection, and always will be.
Aerosmith Toys In The Attic
2009-09-20 - This is a great old Aerosmith album. It sounds good and has many good songs such as Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way and Big Ten Inch Record. This CD is well worth the money!
