Toys in the Attic专辑介绍
《Toys in the Attic》抓住了乐队本质的魅力，单曲"Sweet Emotion"在1975年夏进入了Top 40，随后专辑也名列专辑榜第11名。成功促使他们再次发行了单曲"Dream On"，1976春，这首震撼人心的名曲打入了单曲榜的前十位，这把以前的专辑《Aerosmith》和《Get Your Wings》也一起带入了排行榜。1976年，来自《Toys in the Attic》中最后的单曲"Walk This Way"在新专辑《Rocks》发行前发行，这使得并无Top10单曲的《Rocks》在1977初也成了一张白金唱片。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第228位。
After nearly getting off the ground 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 success of the album derives from a combination of an increased sense of songwriting skills and purpose. Not only does Joe Perry turn out indelible riffs like "Walk This Way," "Toys in the Attic," and "Sweet Emotion," but Steven Tyler has fully embraced sleaziness as his artistic muse. Taking his cue from the old dirty blues "Big Ten Inch Record," Tyler writes with a gleeful impishness about sex throughout Toys in the Attic, whether it's the teenage heavy petting of "Walk This Way," the promiscuous "Sweet Emotion," or the double-entendres of "Uncle Salty" and "Adam's Apple." The rest of Aerosmith, led by Perry's dirty, exaggerated riffing, provide an appropriately greasy backing. Before Toys in the Attic, no other hard rock band sounded like this. Sure, Aerosmith cribbed heavily from the records of the Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, and Led Zeppelin, but they didn't have any of the menace of their influences, nor any of their mystique. Aerosmith was a gritty, street-wise hard rock band who played their blues as blooze and were in it for a good time; Toys in the Attic crystallizes that attitude.
