Customer Reviews of Draw the Line

Still not so good.
Although they were getting better and better from Aerosmith to Get Your Wings to Toys In the Attic I'm afraid they slightly got worse with this album. Although it's still really good it's not what I expected after Toys In the Attic. Joe Perry should have never been allowed to sing lead in any song. Bright Light Fright is good but not Aerosmith good just the average band good. The rest are good except for Milk Cow Blues. I think other people will agree with me when I say that Milk Cow Blues is one of Aerosmith's ten worst. All in all this album is still excellent but compared to the progress of the earlier three I frown upon it. But great hits I'll never get tired of like Draw the Line and Kings and Queens make up for it.

the begining of the decline
In 1976 Aerosmith was at their creative peak and released the album Rocks. In 1977 the drugged up band struggled in the studio to come up with material. The result, Draw the Line, isn't nearly as good as Rocks but it is still a pretty good album. I think this album still holds up and makes a good listen.

1. Draw the Line. 10/10 Gets the album off to a great start. This is a classic Aerosmith hard rock song. Steven's screaming in the middle is amazing.

2. I Wanna Know Why. 8/10 Pretty good song but not the best.

3. Critical Mass. 8/10. Sounds like a doped up Beatles song.

4. Get it Up. 9/10 I like how funky this song is. One of their funkiest.

5. Bright Light Fright. 3/10 Joe Perry takes a turn at the mic and shows he can't sing. Very punkish, but doesn't sound good like real punk from the time. (Ramones, etc)

6. Kings and Queens. 9/10 Very good song and among thier most popular from this era. The keyboard, Guitar interplay works really well.

7. Hand That Feeds. 7/10 Decent song that allows them to add a little funk.

8. Sight For Sore Eyes. 8/10 I love the very funky Guitar intro. It is just a fast fun song.

9. Milkcow Blues. 8/10 Amped up cover of an old song. A good tune to close the album with.

This is a worthy CD for any Aerosmith fan. Not the best place to start if you are just building your Aerosmith collection. Start with Toys in the Attic or Rocks. Either way get this album.

Doesn't rock like "Rocks",but still rocks...
Ok,compared to the previous 4 albums,especially "Rocks",this album doesn't really compare to the rest.But,everything all you old school fans of aerosmith love about the band is still here.Bluesy riffs,vintage Tyler screamin',and some pretty solid songs for a band which blacked out during recording this album.So compared to the rest,its OK.But on it's own,beats everything they put out after '87 and stays true to the roots of aerosmith.
