Draw The Line is considered to be less impressive as Aerosmith’s previous releases. This is said to be because of excessive use of drugs by several members of the band, and their fast-paced lifestyle. This also made the band split up for a while, to be reunited again after several releases.

Does this mean Draw The Line is a bad album? Oh no, it features some moments that I consider to be among the biggest highlights in Aerosmith’s career. A good example of this is the stunning title track that opens the album with absolute raw strength. Same goes for “Kings and Queens”, a song in a slightly unconventional style for Aerosmith, featuring a very thick bass sound and having an overall epic feel to it. Other notable tracks are the catchy “I Wanna Know Why”, the agressive “Sight For Eyes” and the rough album closer “Milk Cow Blues”. Now, where an album like Rocks is very consistent and great from the beginning to the end, Draw The Line leaves me unsatisfied. All the songs I haven’t mentioned yet are not very interesting. Though there are some good moments among them, they give the album an uncomplete feel, which dissapoints me.

Draw The Line is a very inconsistent album, featuring both uninteresting and fantastic moments. I rate the album three and a half stars, as it’s still a great album and definitely worth getting, though not as essential as other albums from Aerosmith's classic period.
