Aerosmith - Get Your Wings

While not quite as exemplary of the Boston quintet's '70s sound as Toys in the Attic or Rocks, Get Your Wings was impressive both in terms of its material and its measurable improvement over Aerosmith's debut. From the R&B inflected "Same Old Song and Dance" to the power-rock "Woman of the World" to the rollicking cover of "Train Kept a Rollin'," Wings showed the band solidifying their sound and really taking flight for the first time. --Genevieve Williams Amazon.com

 They never got better than this...
although I think they matched it with "Toys In the Attic". This album still holds up today as an example of what rock once was and should return to. April 4, 2008

 Aerosmith at their very best
In my opinion this is aerosmiths best album. It was released over 30 years ago and still rocks today. There are 8 excellent tracks here-same old song and dance, lord of the thighs, spaced, woman of the world, sos(too bad), seasons of wither, train kepta rollin and pandoras box. Seasons of wither is my favourite song of all time, check out the live version of it on "Rockin the joint", it will blow you away. This album proves that aerosmith are the best rock band in the world. They were when this was released and they still are today. Get this and i gaurantee you wont be disappointed. March 17, 2008

 One of Aerosmith's Best!
I really like this album from Aerosmith. The sound is still fairly raw, but they've improved their song writing over their self titled debut. And Steven Tyler's vocals have improved, as well, over that initial offering. The opener, "Same Old Song and Dance," is a classic, of course, but a number of other tracks really score on this one, including the gritty "Lord of the Thighs" and rockin' "Pandora's Box."

 Get Your Wings Aerosmith
It is a great album there second collection of songs and Same Old Song and Dance - Train Kept a Rollin and Season of Wither are of my favorite songs on here. Train Kept a Rollin is the first time on Aerosmith albums that you got the idea of what they were like live. I had the album now I have the CD. Very good and a must for true fans!

 GET YOUR WINGS ! (back when Aerosmith was rockin' the streets, not the office)
The era of Aerosmith's Get Your Wings (1974) was back when the "Bad Boys from Beantown" meant something in the world of underground rock. In the mid-1970s this stuff was playing loud at wild parties, on street corners, and blasting from speakers in cars full of partying people. Serious rock n' roll. In Same Old Song And Dance, Steven Tyler sings:

Got you with the cocaine they found with your gun,
No smooth face lawyer can get ya undone.
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town,
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around.

Then in S.O.S. (Too Bad), he sings:

In Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties,
Bogus honey stinkin' of gin.
Well my daddy was hard, his face was pretty scarred,
from kicking a**, and playing poker to win.

The music? IT ROCKS! Fast, hard, and straight ahead. Lots of great guitar riffs, fast and heavy beats, and the famous Steven Tyler scream-sing. Great stuff! It could lead you into a life of debauchery, but think of the fun you'll have! Like they say, "If you can't be good, be good at it!". And listen to Aerosmith's Get Your Wings (very loudly).
