AEROSMITH – Toys In The Attic [Japan Blu-spec CD remastered] *HQ* Out Of Print

Some time ago we already featured at 0dayrox SACD Gold Disc version of AEROSMITH‘s ”Toys In The Attic”, perhaps the best sounding prossing of this Classic album. However one of you asked for the Japanese release on Blu-spec CD. Sound quality is very good too, a little more bright yet stupendous anyway.
Musically, “Toys In The Attic” is where Aerosmith really tick all the right boxes, something that would be augmented even more with the excellent follow up ‘Rocks’.
After nearly getting off the ground with previous LP ‘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 LP 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. Despite of being recorded in 1975 (!) this album is so fresh that could pass as a 2018 release. You never get tired of “Toys In The Attic”.
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.
