Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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-DMC) version of "Walk This Way", and the classic "Sweet Emotion". This is Aerosmith at their 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

By Docendo Discimus TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
After nearly getting it right with "Get Your Wings", Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, "Toys In The Attic".

The songwriting is better than ever, Joe Perry turns out indelible riffs like on "Toys In The Attic", "Walk This Way", and "Sweet Emotion", and Steven Tyler writes gleefully (and humorously) about sex throughout the album.

And the entire band plays some of the best, grittiest, sleaziest hard rock of their career on this album, and there is barely a weak track to be found - "Toys" simply goes from highlight to highlight:
The title track, the classic "Sweet Emotion", the superb "Walk This Way", and the 'Smith's cover of Bull Moose Jackson's "Big Ten-Inch Record" all count among their best-ever tunes, and songs like "Adam's Apple", "You See My Crying", and "No More, No More" are almost as good.

"Uncle Salty" is less pleasant, though, with its too-gleeful lyrics about sexual abuse of a minor. But if you can look past that, the rest of the album is pure hard rock joy.
4 1/2 stars - highly recommended.

Walk this way please 28 Sep 2005
By Mr. D. A. Cure VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
One of the all time great rock n roll albums, and probably one of the single sources of inspirations for the birth of sleaze rock in the 1980's that spawned a generation of new classic rock bands, as led by Guns N Roses. Probably best known for the original version of Walk this Way, I would recommend this to anyone into rock of all genres, as every track is a winner.

Essential rock n' roll 26 July 2001
Format:Audio CD
This record sees Aerosmith radically step out of the shadow of their two previous albums that were extremely flawed but pointed towards the brilliance that was to come. Toys ... brims full of riffs that will mesmerise and lift the spirits.

Every song on this album is absolute gold but the shiniest gems are Adam's Apple, Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion. Adam's Apple is Steven Tyler's unique re-telling of the classic Bible story, evolution, etc. Only he would have the tongue in cheek audacity to give a subject that has given philosophers and theologians grief for centuries the chorus, "She ate it/Lordy it was love at first bite!". Great music too. Walk This Way ... what a riff ... too good for words really. Sweet Emotion is just a rock classic. A great bass-heavy intro that breaks out into a funky song driven by Joe Perry's fantastic guitar.

No weaknesses. always fresh with every listen, get this album!
