I'm going as far as to say that this is their best album

I have been an Aerosmith fan since I was a small kid. And back in they day, I've had my favourite albums. First it was "Pump," then it was "Toys In The Attic," then "Rocks." But now, having heard every album, I can confidently say that "Get Your Wings" is the best. All tracks are great rockers, with some elements progression thrown in, and can be considered the most energetic dirty rockers ever. Track highlights include a Yardbird cover in "Train Kept Arollin," fantastic atmospheric rollicker "Spaced," autobiographical exploitation in "Same old Song and Dance," and quite possibly the band's best song, an extended ballad called "Seasons of Whither." Highly recommended. Highly.

SAME SEASON AND PANDORA

One of their greatest albums of all time next to Toys in the Attic. My faves are Same Old Song and Dance, and Seasons of Wither. Pandora's Box is also good but not a classic! The others

other than those 3 dont match anything. Just buy the CD.

Aerosmith's Most Underrated Album

During "Get Your Wings," Aerosmith threw out most of their Rolling Stones sound heard on their debut. Now they are closer to a heavy metal band (at least what was considered heavy metal at the time), their guitars are heavier, and Steven Tyler sings with his real voice instead of the weak one that occupied most of their debut album. You can find all sorts of Aerosmith classics on here; including "Same Old Song and Dance," "Lord of the Thighs" (which sounds somewhat similar to "Back in the Saddle"), and the heavy power ballad "Seasons of Whither." Their cover of the Yardbirds' "Train Kept A Rollin'" became a concert staple. For some reason they tried to make this sound like a live album so there are cheers sometimes in between songs. The album isn't perfect, but it is easily one of Aerosmith's top ten albums. In a Rolling Stone review for this album, the reviewer said that Steven Tyler's voice would never be able to carry a song the way the Mick Jaggers could; it's humorous how wrong he was.

4.5 stars - Where the reign of greatness began

Get Your Wings (1974.) Aerosmith's second album.



In 1973, Aerosmith entered the musical scene with their self-titled debut album. Though not a spectacular album by any means, it certainly showed the world that the band had some serious potential. The following year, the band recorded their second full-length LP, Get Your Wings. Was it an improvement over their previous release, or another subpar effort? Read on for my review.



To put it simply, this album is a MASSIVE improvement over it's predecessor. It's not exactly a five-star masterpiece, but it's a great album. Steven Tyler has finally managed to find his voice, and it shows on every track on this album. Joe Perry's guitar playing here is also excellent. The band kicks off the album with its lone hit, Same Old Song And Dance. This song went onto become a huge hit for the band, and why not? This is bluesy hard rock at its very best. Although it was the only really popular song to emerge from this release, it's not the only good one. Lord Of The Thighs is another bluesy hard rocker that almost certainly won't fail to please if you're a fan of the band. And, like many rock and roll artists, Aerosmith recorded a cover of the blues classic, Train Kept A Rollin'. Their version of the song is nothing short of excellent. The two closing tracks, Seasons Of Wither and Pandora's Box, are two of the band's most underrated songs ever recorded. It's a shame they don't normally end up on the band's best of compilations - they belong there. Ultimately, it's one hell of an album.



To put it simply, if you like blues-based hard rock, you're going to love this album. Though not Aerosmith's finest hour by any means, it's a damn fine album nonetheless, and it's well worth adding to your collection.
