Renting out an abandoned convent on the outskirts of New York City to record the follow-up to the hellaciousRocksmay not have been the best idea, but 1977’sDraw the Linestill managed to be another down-and-dirtyAerosmithrelease. 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 Linecatches fire more times than not. Unlike their most recent album successes, the band shies away from studio experimenting and dabbling in different styles; instead they return to simple, straight-aheadhard rock.
