Get Your Wings - Aerosmith (Cassette 1993)

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...

"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,...

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 The appetite and endeavour is still very evident but the naievty has been replaced by a genuine maturity in performance and song writing.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.
