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, IToys/I 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. I--Genevieve Williams/I

Walk this way please September 28, 2005

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.

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". pThe 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. pAnd 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:brThe 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.p"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. br4 1/2 stars - highly recommended.

This is their 3rd album and also the one where America started to sit up and take notice. After a good debut `Aerosmith` and then the slightly better `Get your wings` Toys in the Attic put all the cards face down on the table, to reveal a smouldering,streetwise, schmuk in your face Rock band coming of age. Joe Perry`s guitar work lifting this with some fantastic riffin and wonderful lead breaks, twinned with Brad Whitford`s dual guitaring. Tom Hamilton holding it together with great bass, Joey Kramer a fantastic drummer and to cap it all Steven Tyler lyric and vocal supreme.All the guys are spot on. No more no more,`aint seen no daylight since I started this band,round and round, uncle salty, toys in the attic.great lyrics go to make this a great album..Aerosmith firing on allsix. to be followed by the mighty `Rocks`.
Essential rock n' roll July 26, 2001

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.pEvery 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.pNo weaknesses. always fresh with every listen, get this album!
A True Masterpiece September 16, 2001

This with Rocks would be a brilliant Aero Collection but if you only get one I would suggest this first. Not only does it include tracks that most people already know eg. Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion but there are some truely excellent tracks here. The album kicks off with the rip roaring fast track, Toys In The Attic. I think the only time I've heard a more electric track is on Live Bootleg. (which is not surprisingly the same track!) No More No More is another superb track that sorta tells the story of the band in a non-corny way. I love this album. Anything less than 5 stars is a crime! IT'S THAT GOOD!!
