It didn't take us long - three albums in, we get to this record, and actually, right at the very first track, one realizes - all of the sudden, the lone missing thread has been captured. "Toys in the Attic" - the song - is the place where it completely clicks, and Aerosmith has become the multi-pronged, unstoppable monster we all feared it would. As the rest of the band rushes into outer space on a complete and total oblivion trip, Tyler screams from the edges of his (or yours) worst nightmares these very words: "voices scream…nothing seen…real's the dream". And it goes on from there. Fasten your seatbelts. What transpires is a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions. OK, maybe "Toys in the Attic" is the scariest - possibly otherworldly - part of the ride, but every bit of the album's 10 tracks is top-notch entertainment, at least for a hard rock record in the mid-1970's.
