4.0 out of 5 stars CHECKMATE HONEY!, April 24, 2008

By	Christopher Gazzo (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aerosmith at their peak, March 17, 2009

By	Roy P. Smith "royp60" (royp60) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars acceptable, January 26, 2009

By	Flora J. Smith "big dog" (loveland,co) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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"
