Renting out an abandoned convent on the outskirts of New York City to record the follow-up to the hellacious Rocks may not have been the best idea, but 1977's Draw the Line still managed to be another down and dirty Aerosmith release. While it wasn't as awe inspiring as their last two albums -- the members have said that the music suddenly got "cloudy" around this time (due to in-band fighting/ego-clashes, excessive living, etc.), Draw the Line catches fire more times than not. Unlike their most recent album successes, the band shies away from studio experimentry and dabbling in different styles; instead they return to simple, straight-ahead, hard rock. Tracks list: Draw the Line, I Wanna Know Why, Critical Mass, Get It Up, Bright Light Fright, Kings and Queens, Hand That Feeds, Sight for Sore Eyes, Milk Cow Blues. Japanese pressing.
