Draw the Line is Aerosmith's 5th album. It was recorded in mid-1977 and released in 1977. It was recorded in an abandoned convent near New York City, rented out for that purpose. As a follow-up to Rocks, Draw the Line was considered a success at the time, commercially and critically, but has not fared as well since the 1970s. Members of Aerosmith have since claimed that interpersonal conflicts and a chaotic, drug-fueled lifestyle was making the music "cloudy" by the time Draw the Line was recorded.
