Aerosmiths best album by far. Ranks up there with Led Zep II and IV. Pretty dirty subject matter though. Drugs and sex mostly. But honest and not to crass.
I wanted the cd, and I love it. Not sure why I have to write 100 characters about the item....but I really liked it or I wouldn't have bought it. The cd arrived promptly and I would do business with this company again. Thanks.
This is a classic Aerosmith CD from 1974. In all honesty, it has been a downhill slide for Aerosmith after the CD titled "ROCKS". Though public opinion would probably differ, this is Aerosmith in their heyday. The songs are strikingly original and well crafted. Aerosmith had a sound all their own through the first 4 CD's /Albums. The highlights on this are track 2. Lord of the Thighs, track 5 - S.O.S. and track 7. Seasons of Wither. Tyler's vocals are top notch and the band's songwriting is excellent. I cannot understand why they have lost their mojo since these early days. They had 2 great CD's after this one and it has been a wash after that. So, if you think you are an Aerosmith fan it better be because of the first effort, Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks !

Aerosmith Earns Their Wings (Aerosmith W/O)
Review created: 03/24/03
by: MattA75 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: bluesy hard rock done right
Cons: too short...much too short
After the success of their debut record, thanks mainly to Dream On and Mama Kin, Aerosmith looked to really go for the juggular on their second album, titled Get Your Wings. Get Your Wings is a fiery blues rock album that shows a band still in it's developmental stages of figuring out who they are and exactly what they want to sound like. By the time the band was done recording it, they not only had a better feel of everyone's role in the band, but because of the experience recording it, one can only assume that this album became the catalyst for what many people feel are the band's two...

Pros: The production and performances are incredibly, unbelievably strong.
Cons: Problem...what problem?
INTRODUCTION Hello, everybody. This is John Bishop typing, the DeadMilkboy of Epinions.com.

Aerosmith in the raw!
Review created: 06/18/02

Pros: Aerosmith's best work
Cons: Only 8 tracks, I think they moved "Seasons of Wither"
Ahhhhh, Aerosmith. This is one of the very first rock bands I got into as a young punk, and for a while there I had the entire Aerosmith collection on 8-track. OK, stop laughing, it seemed like a good idea at the time! Aerosmith was formed in the early 70's on the east coast. The band released it's first album ("Aerosmith") in 1973, and it was the albums hit single "Dream On" that generated a lot of interest in the band. "Aerosmith" was a good album, but the band had not really developed their trademark sound and songwriting abilities, and the album was not received well with the critics,...

Flying with wings
Review created: 05/05/03
by: ninelives353 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: 'Seasons of Wither', raunch-rock, more mature song-writing.
Cons: In hindsight there are some dated tracks, but that's a rubbish critcism really.
Following on from the debut album was never going to be an easy task for Aerosmith but they have done a fairly admirable job here. The appetite and endeavour is still very evident but the naievty has been replaced by a genuine maturity in performance and song writing. The highlights are wide ranging. 'Seasons of Wither' is an outstanding ballad; the applause of a live crowd gradually dies out giving way to the sound of the wind patrolling a desolate landscape. Once the scene is set in your mind, a lone guitar guides you to a troubled Steven Tyler who curses the loss of a love and the feeling..

Aerosmith gets their wings
Review created: 11/28/99

Pros: A fantastic album.
Cons: None, this is a classic
Edited 3-24-00 Aerosmith's second album, along with their next two albums, would literally reshape American rock music forever. This album is where they first showcased their trademark sound. Even though Get Your Wings is a quarter of a century old, it is as relevant today as it was in 1974. That is quite an accomplishment, and one that few bands can match. I enjoy listening to all eight songs on this album. At thirty-eight minutes in length, this album goes by fast, so I usually have to listen to it two or three times in a row. If fans of the modern Aerosmith sound would like to know where...
