apple, and Walk This Way. Okay ever1, please read all of my reviews since I'm a bit of a hard rock heavy metal kid.

Killer 5.1 SACD transfer of a rock classic!

Released in 1975,"Toys In The Attic" perfected Aerosmith's brand of Stonesy hard rock,R&B, and Led Zeppelin heaviness,thus giving the band its commercial breakthrough(it reached #11 on the Billboard album chart and sold 8 millon copies).The highlights are the super-funky "Walk This Way"(which was revived a decade later in a version by the rap trio Run-DMC,which featured Steven Tyler on vocals and Joe Perry on guitar),the grinding,lusty "Sweet Emotion",the catchy "No More No More",the punkish title track,the menacing "Round And Round",and the beautiful closing ballad "You See Me Crying",but there's simply not a weak cut to be found here.If I could summon one word for the 5.1 SACD mix it would be AWESOME!Listening and comparing the standard 16-bit CD with the multichannel SACD is like comparing early spring and summer.The ordinary CD sounds good,but it sounds flat,compressed and muddy compared to the SACD version.The latter sounds full,punchy,clear and tough,much like music itself.You never heard "Walk This Way" or "Sweet Emotion" until you heard them here!(Note:This will NOT play on your standard CD player.Sorry!)

GREAT 5.1 SACD

This review is specifially for the surround-sound mix of this famous album by Aerosmith, I have never listened to the stereo mix in my life. That being said, I highly recommend this SACD for it's nice surround mix of some classic rock and roll music. The surround mix of Sweet Emotion is just awesome, and Walk This Way now comes alive in a way that shakes the whole house and puts you right in the middle of the song. If you have a nice surround sound SACD system, I would highly recommend this disc. But there is a WARNING: This disc is a single layer SACD, it will not play on a CD player.

classic rock masterpiece

Toys In The Attic (1975.) Aerosmith's third album.



By 1975, Aerosmith had begun to make a name for themselves. They were at that point where they were pretty popular, but still fairly far from being legends. Their first album, which was their 1973 self-titled debut, was good but not great, and uneven in many places. The band immediately improved with their sophomore album released the following year, Get Your Wings. Many a music fan claims that a band's third album is the one that makes or breaks the band. Is that true of Aerosmith? Would their third release, 1975's Toys In The Attic, make or break them? Read on for my review.



I liked the band's first album all right, but I didn't love it. I thought Get Your Wings was a much better album, but still not perfect. And then I heard Toys In The Attic, and I can honestly say that this one blows them both away. It's with this release that the band truly came of age, at long last. All that potential that the band showed on earlier releases had been compiled and focused here, which made this their strongest release up to the time. Sweet Emotion, one of the album's singles, would become one of the band's biggest hits of all time. It's the most popular song on here by far. Walk This Way would become another huge hit for the group. Eleven years later the band would remake the song with rap stars Run D.M.C., but that version would pale in comparison to the original. Another fairly popular track (or should I say infamous) from the album is Big Ten Inch Record, a cover of an old blues song. The lyrics are highly questionable, which ultimately resulted in the song getting banned from several American radio stations back in the day. Fortunately, that controversy has long since vanished, since in this day and age, anything goes in the music world. But, the best track on this album is, by far, the title track. This little tune is more along the lines of classic metal than classic rock, and it puts similar works by other artists of the day to shame. The song is unjustly underrated! Uncle Salty is another excellent underrated tune. From start to finish, Toys In The Attic rocks hard and rocks right. It's an Aerosmith masterpiece.



The Aerosmith catalogue was remastered and reissued in the nineties, but the remaster series is a disappointment. You get remastered sound quality, but no bonus tracks or any really nifty extras. Also, the record company chose not to do twofer reissues (a mistake that comes too often), which really pisses me off. A little word of advice, though - if you're new to buying Aerosmith's albums, there is a box available that has the FIRST THREE albums together, for one fairly low price. Get that - it's a pretty sweet deal.



Toys In The Attic marks Aerosmith's coming of age in the rock and roll world. This album "made" Aerosmith. The band became rock and roll legends not long after releasing this album - and their legacy lives on and shows no signs of letting up. If you're a fan of classic hard rock, this album is a must buy.
