aerosmith toys in the attic poll

yeah same here probably

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Love this record, sans Big 10" Record... I voted the final track because of the orchestral arrangement. Pokes my heart.

Ah, great to see 'No More No More' poll so highly!

i still love you Uncle Salty

stunned to see Walk This Way in a tie for fourth...guess that's why they play the games

something about jack douglas-era aerosmith, whoever was mixing those records was able to create this murky, scary atmosphere inside of this otherwise really tight rock band

What's really important to bands of this sort is initial impact — the production must explode, enveloping the listener with a rampaging barrage of sound. The ideal mix is hot and spacious, with each instrument well defined and immediately intimate. A mix, in fact, not at all unlike that of the band's previous LP, Get Your Wings. On Toys, Aerosmith is given a more compact, jumbled mix that gives more of a "group" feel but robs them of that explosive ambience. Hence it's much harder to get involved with the music at first exposure to it.

listening to "Uncle Salty" and I think I know what Shania and Mutt were listening to while writing "Man I FEel LIke a Woman"

the coolest song is "sweet emotion"

ain't seen the daylight since we started this band

the section in “sweet emotion” with the random backwards drums is so cool
