Kings & Queens & Guillotines,
By
This review is from: Draw the Line (Audio CD)
Get Your Wings. Toys In The Attic. Rocks. Nobody disputes the grandness of those records. Nobody disputes that, for a couple years anyway, Aerosmith created some of the great most important rock music in America. Draw The Line, Aerosmith's fifth, divides fans like no 'Smith platter before. Which is a shame. While, compared to Rocks, it stumbles behind like a drunk stumbling out of the bar, it is still a magnificent piece of rock and roll damnation.The drug problems had set in, but you wouldn't be able to tell by the title track. This, friends, is one of my all time favourite songs, desert island material. To this day nobody has written anything as perfectly manic as "Draw The Line". And I still have no idea what Tyler is singing after the lead solo break. I once read that David Lee Roth used this song to drive away a herd of yaks while hiking in the Himalayas. Understand? It doesn't end there with "I Wanna Know Why" being one of the catchiest of the early 'Smith rockers. "Critical Mass" was also great, a song that grooves along quite nicely. I'm not too keen on the funkier moments of this album. Draw The Line is not a perfect record, but it's damn close. "Kings and Queens" is regal and excellent, and even Joe Perry's "Bright Light Fright" kicks the decibels. This is a hard album to grasp at first, but at least the great songs are truly great, and keep you coming back for more. Please don't overlook Draw The Line. This is impaired Aerosmith, but not quite off the rails yet. 4.5 stars.

Doesn't rock like "Rocks",but still rocks...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Draw The Line (Audio CD)
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.

I loved this album!!!,

This review is from: Draw The Line (Audio CD)
I can understand why there is more criticism of this album than 'Rocks' or 'Toys'. But the reason why some people bash it (not as polished as previous releases, they were burnt out by drugs, blah, blah, blah) is the reason I've always loved it! I bought this album when it first came out during my freshman year in high school (yeah I'm old), it was my first Asmith LP and I played the hell out of it. Ended up buying their other stuff and loved it equally but this sometimes-maligned album holds a special place with me. The whole album rocks. I think the weakest song probably is 'Get it up', other than that there are no weak spots IMO. My personal fave on this album is 'Critical Mass' for it's unrelenting beat, it rocks!! If you're new to Aerosmith give some of the older stuff a listen, including this CD.
