Free Music Review: Aerosmith's underrated album
Hit: 5 Stars
Draw the Lines is an amazingly underrated album. I really can't see how it's supposed to be any worse than Rocks or Toys in the Attic. The quality of the songwriting, the sheer dirty rock and roll aspect the band was exceptionally good at, Steven Tyler's voice in perfect form, everything about it should indicate a classic, exciting hard rock album from the mid 70's.
I guess the drugs were catching up to the band, and to many people, those nasty habits seemed to interfere with the music Aerosmith was making at the time. But to me... I honestly don't hear any slip-ups or any problems whatsoever with the music, so I don't understand how drugs were supposedly affecting the quality of the music.
The title song with its short and catchy riff is a classic, and "Sight for Sore Eyes" is very similar to the title song, and just as memorable. Tyler's vocals are really good on this album. "Milk Cow Blues" is a radically different and distinct speedy version of the blues. Really cool song.
"Critical Mass" has another solid vocal melody that's backed up with good guitar playing that has a jamming approach to it. It's the kind of song that reveals there's nothing quite like Aerosmith out there, and never will be. In fact, a song like this makes me wonder what so many people see in Guns 'N Roses, a band that supposedly were masters of the dirty rock and blues that Aerosmith was doing (and mastering) 10-15 years before Appetite for Destruction ever came out. There's some really cool drumming, harmonica, and guitar tricks in "Critical Mass" that a band like Guns 'N Roses would never be able to implement into their music.
"Kings and Queens" is a drastically different song from everything else the band attempted before. Well maybe that's not true, since it's pretty similar to "Dream On" in terms of moody atmosphere. But it's highly memorable and even though it was a hit, it doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. Maybe back in the day it did, but no longer.
Elsewhere songs like "Get it Up" are really bluesy and dirty in the guitar riffs and vocal delivery (downright MEAN, in fact) and "The Hand that Feeds" is memorable for the way Steven Tyler screams, and for that guitar riff that loops around in the chorus. The verse melody has grown on me after a few listens though. Maybe that's the thing that's making the album a tough listen for so many people- the songs just require a few listens to get into. Whatever the case, I think this is one of Aerosmith's best albums, right behind the first two albums.
