Iron MikeyJ Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 old school get your wings for me. It doesn't have the hits that rocks and toys does, but I think it is a better, more complete album Honestly it is probably the only aerosmith album that I like every song on it.Newer stuff, has to be get a grip for me. IMO aerosmith were trying sound like gnr on that album, and it worked. amazing is like november rain, eat the rich is like jungle, living on the edge is like paradise city, crying is like dont cry, and so on and so fourth. IMO aerosmith have always tried to mimic other bands. Toys and rocks were them trying to be like zeppelin, and perminate vacation and pump were them trying to be like motley crue or bon jovi, and get a grip is them trying to be like gnr. But it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobodys_Fault Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Rocks, no question. Balls to the wall hard rock from start to finish - everything that was great about 70's Aerosmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinegunner Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Toys In The Attic - old era . closely followed by Rocks and Get Your Wings, and then Rock In A Hard Place.My short review of Rock In Hard Place -... two different guitarists, Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, in place of Perry and Whitword who spun off for a while trying to deal with addictions etc... Aerosmith could have gone like GN'R has now at that particular fork in the road....but it worked and Tyler was slowburn real gone magnificent. There are plenty of amazing tracks on that album and it all gels together quite well ... so many that i can't go into it in this short review but the titles give some idea - Bolivian Ragamuffin, Lightning Strikes, the title track is awesome... check out the album. i dig the oldtimey gangster references etc -- jig is up, push comes to shove, and old jazz era vocals Tyler pulls off, and hauntingly beautiful shit on there like Joanie's Butterfly... **** 4/5Pump - later era Edited July 3, 2013 by machinegunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it works for me.Hi Mike. I think they used a lot of overdubs on Get Your Wings with Alice Cooper's guitarists - Wagner and Hunter or something. To find that out later kind of takes a way from it although the results are pleasing enough. But it doesn't come together as with Toys In The Attic - you can hear that they had discovered their own sound more difiningly by them. And i can't keep the riffs eg. like Adam's Apple, out of my head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Toys and Pump, but all of the comeback era albums are shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 It's tough to pick between Toys in the Attic, Get Your Wings, and Rocks early on. I'd probably lean Rocks, but it's close.I have never been able to listen to any of the comeback albums all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) All their before rehab 70's albums up to "Rocks" are excellent but "Get Your Wings" is ultimate Aerosmith to me...Post rehab I love everything including Pump but after that that seem to be chasing singles and lost there edge for me...

But get your wings is my personal fav. Do you have any proof to back up your claims? I have never heard of anyone other than the obvious playing any guitars.

Powerage5 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Rocks. Pretty much the only Aerosmith album I ever spin nowadays. Voted GAG for the later stuff since I had to vote for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already hard to know whether it's Joe Perry or Brad Whitford sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Rocks - title says it all, in more ways than one.Permanent Vacation - I remember thinking, ahhhh there's the band I missed.After that, a gradual slide that didn't overly appeal to me.
