Classic Album Review: Aerosmith- Toys in the Attic


Toys in the Attic was released on April 7, 1975 and was Aerosmith's third album and third gold album. The tracks on Toys in the Attic are: 1. Toys in the Attic 2. Uncle Salty 3. Adam's Apple 4. Walk This Way 5. Big Ten Inch Record 6. Sweet Emotion 7. No More, No More 8. Round and Round 9. You See Me Crying.

The singles off the album were Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way. Sweet Emotion peaked at 36 on the Billboard Pop Singles in 1975. Walk This Way peaked at 10 two years later in 1977.


As expected Steven Tyler's vocals are very strong and distinguishable on Toys in the Attic. Joe F*ckin' Perry's guitar solos are great. Some of the more notable solos are on Walk This Way and Round and Round. Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer are very tight and Brad Whitford's rhythm guitar is solid.


If you do not already own this classic Aerosmith album and you are a rock music fan you definitely need to pick this one up. 9.5/10
