5.0 out of 5 stars Killer 5.1 SACD transfer of a rock classic!, January 19, 2004

By	B. J O'Connor "noonions" (Holmdel,NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Released in 1975,"Toys In The Attic" perfected Aerosmith's brand of Stonesy hard rock,R&B, and Led Zeppelin heaviness,thus giving the band its commercial breakthrough(it reached #11 on the Billboard album chart and sold 8 millon copies).The highlights are the super-funky "Walk This Way"(which was revived a decade later in a version by the rap trio Run-DMC,which featured Steven Tyler on vocals and Joe Perry on guitar),the grinding,lusty "Sweet Emotion",the catchy "No More No More",the punkish title track,the menacing "Round And Round",and the beautiful closing ballad "You See Me Crying",but there's simply not a weak cut to be found here.If I could summon one word for the 5.1 SACD mix it would be AWESOME!Listening and comparing the standard 16-bit CD with the multichannel SACD is like comparing early spring and summer.The ordinary CD sounds good,but it sounds flat,compressed and muddy compared to the SACD version.The latter sounds full,punchy,clear and tough,much like music itself.You never heard "Walk This Way" or "Sweet Emotion" until you heard them here!(Note:This will NOT play on your standard CD player.Sorry!)

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT 5.1 SACD, December 15, 2003

By	David B. Bennett "Rock The Book Man" (The Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is specifially for the surround-sound mix of this famous album by Aerosmith, I have never listened to the stereo mix in my life. That being said, I highly recommend this SACD for it's nice surround mix of some classic rock and roll music. The surround mix of Sweet Emotion is just awesome, and Walk This Way now comes alive in a way that shakes the whole house and puts you right in the middle of the song. If you have a nice surround sound SACD system, I would highly recommend this disc. But there is a WARNING: This disc is a single layer SACD, it will not play on a CD player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately one of the better SACD mixes out there, April 17, 2006

By	Nicman (Stamford, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased a 5.1 surround sound system. Naturally I needed to load up on some 5.1 CD's. I did alot of poking around, bought a few. Some impressed me some did not. Then I rememebered getting a SACD Sampler from Rolling Stone magagzine. Aerosmith's "Sweet Emmotion" is on it. Without a doubt , this is what SACD's should sound like. Alot of SACD's sound like an entirely new mix. Many things are lost (like the bass) and others are too prominent in the mix. This one just kicks. When the bass comes in and the song starts to rock, your'e SO glad you have it in SACD!!! The album is a classic, there should be no doubt about that. This just improves upon it. Highly recomended.
