Draw the Line is the fifth album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 1977 (see 1977 in music). 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.
