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

 Still their best, almost a quarter century later September 16, 2008

"Get Your Wings" was Aerosmith's second album, easily a step up from their debut, and, for my money, superior to the "Toys" or "Rocks" that came after. They weren't MTV fodder yet, they were still militantly "on medication," and the contrariness that ground them to a halt in the early eighties (just as it did, "that band they worked so hard to look like") hadn't even started to take hold yet. Prime stuff, folks: even the obligatory top-40 song here, "Train Kept A'Rolling," was superior to most anything else going down that vile year of 1974. And OK, I'll be selfish, all MY favorite Aerosmith songs are represented here, "Seasons Of Wither"..."Same Old Song And Dance"..."SOS "...especially "Lord Of The Thighs" and "Pandora's Box." Again, Aerosmith would achieve their "breakthru" the next two albums after this - and, yeah, too, they would even go on, that decade, to do that atrocious "Sgt Pepper" movie with the Bee Gees & Billy Preston. (But, hey, "gotta eat," and all that) For my money, Aerosmith peaked right here, pre-MTV, pre-Nat'l Inq'r fodder, pre-"divorces," pre - before they became a walking caricture of themselves, post "Permanant Vacation."
Stands The Test of Time - At Least For Me September 10, 2008

I bought this album (vinyl) when it first came out, just before Toys In The Attic put them on the map, and long before they became a self parody. It has always been my favorite Aerosmith effort by far (though Rocks was close). I've long since passed through "Metal" as a musical preference, and yet, I still play Get Your Wings (digitally, of course) from time to time. There are very few hard rock "albums" from that time period that I can say that about. I'm not sure who would be looking at this now that might be considering buying it for the first time, but if you're out there, this would be the one I'd choose.
Aerosmith at their very best March 17, 2008

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.

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."

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!
