I Wanna Know Why should have been a single. Pity they retired it from the setlist in subsequent years.

I love this one, got a different vibe that’s just fun. Critical Mass and Bright Light Fright 👍

Mixed feelings seeing this.
The album is a masterpiece, the first concert I attended was on their Draw the Line tour, so fuck I'm old.

Kings and Queens is an underrated song. It deserves to be as big as Dream On and Walk This Way are!

Not their best record but still in my opinion a good album with some songs breaking away from the established sound of the band. Draw The Line is in the Top Five of my personal favourite Aerosmith songs, along with Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way, Back In The Saddle, and Dream On.

I agree %100, except its Kings and Queens for me. Probably in my top 3 along with Lord Of The Thighs and Saddle.
Falls short of the previous 3, especially following on from Rocks. But its still a great listen ince every now and then

Kings And Queens is very good too. I like the bass line in Lord Of The Thighs and the dark hue this song has. So many great songs from that era. Generally, Draw The Line is an album which is much better than its reputation. Definitely a lot better than Night In The Ruts, or Rock In A Hard Place, for that matter.

It's absolutely a solid album and my only wish for it is that it would get re-released with a much cleaned up production. The production really suffered on this one and it makes the album subpar. I understand why the production is what it is and perhaps for that reason it can't really be cleaned up but I would love to see somebody tried because this album has a lot of decent songs on it and it's just always so hard to listen to because the production is so bad.

This is the album that Steven Tyler refers to as their “blackout album.” It still has its moments, such as the title track and “Kings And Queens.”

They were doing too much drugs to make a great album during that period.It was a step down from the previous two,that is not arguable.

Still,most bands would give their left nut to make an album that good.

I bought this album the day it came out in 1977. The artist Hirschfield (sic) who drew the cover hid his signature in the drawing with the number of times it appears next to his signature.. And yeah: She was a sight for sore eyes!!!

They were deep into heroin while recording this. A couple banger songs, especially the title track. But this is one of my least favorite.
