CHECKMATE HONEY! April 24, 2008 Christopher Gazzo (Long Island, NY) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Coming off their best two albums, "Draw the Line" released in 1977 is not a complete disappointment. As is the case with most recordings, the ones that follow masterpieces tend to be underrated. The lifestyle that Aerosmith had chosen was beginning to show it's effects on the band creatively but by no means were they done yet. The CD opens with the riff-roaring "Draw the Line" and the rocking "I Wanna Know Why" before slipping into the average "Critical Mass". "Get it Up" may be one of the funkiest tunes they had done up to this point and the punkish Joe Perry sung "Bright Light Fright" is quite interesting. The second half opens with the classic "Kings and Queens" and along with the title track represents classic Aerosmith in the best sense. A few average rockers follow, "The Hand That Feeds" and "Sight For Sore Eyes" before closing with the Arnold penned blues of "Milk Cow Blues". Alhough not quite as good as it's two predecessors ("Toys in the Attic", "Rocks") "Draw the Line" finds Aerosmith running out of breath but still in the race. After this it was all downhill. Newcomers may want to avoid this as an introduction but if you're a fan of classic Aerosmith then this CD sounds GREAT turned up! If only they could rock this hard today.

This is Aerosmith trying to out-do themselves, yet it's simply Aerosmith doing what Aerosmith has always done: Pumping high-octane rock & roll. It just doesn't get any better than this.

This cd has a lot of high points and some medicore ones. I owned this on vinyl in "the day". At this point , the band was starting to show some wear and tear from their rock and roll lifestyles. However, after "Rocks" and "Toys" the bar was set pretty high. Still some good hooks with "Sight for sore eyes","Draw the Line", "Milk Cow Blues" and "Critical Mass"
Down the line February 24, 2009 Tim Brough (Springfield, PA United States) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
History has revealed that Tyler and Perry were pretty much out of their heads by "Draw The Line," and it shows in the writing. "Bright Night Fright" (with Perry on vocals) is an attempt to punk out, but "Toys In The Attic" was a punk song before the genre was defined. "Milk Cow Blues" completely misfired, the band's attempt at boogie came off as half hearted. Had it not been for "Come Together" on the greatest hits album that came a year later, I would have just given up on Aerosmith after this record. I remember really looking forward to getting "Draw The Line" when it first came out, and then sadly wondering what went wrong with one of my favorite bands? There are two good songs here, the title track and "Kings and Queens." After that, things are strictly by the numbers. I mean, from a band that was all about sex and excess, why the heck were they singing a song that was about when you "Can't get it up?" It took almost six years for them to get back, but "Draw The Line" was where the decline began in earnest.
