Great drawn cover on this 1977 album from now-to-have-bacome rockstars. All their former albums had been quite good; last years "Rocks" though showing some decline in quality and on this album it's obvious that something's not like it's been. The bands drug abuse led to Steven Tyler and Joe Perry being known as the "Toxic Twins". Even though this album has some memorable moments it's not an album I would listen to very often. Anyway, it sold 2 million copies worldwide.

1)Draw the line (6,5) Driving rhythm but a bit odd.

2)I wanna know why (8,0) A good rock'n'roller.

3)Critical mass (5,0) A boogierocker that is partly very strange and chaotic and partly very good but way too messy.

4)Get it up (7,0) Good driving heavy rhythm but a bit strange and noisy.

5)Bright light fright (7,0) Punky 2 minute chaos sang by Perry.

6)Kings and queens (6,5) Very chaotic midtempo to ballad strange song.

7)The hand that feeds (7,5) High-energy hardrock'n'roll but somewhat odd and strange.

8)Sight for sore eyes (6,5) Disco-bluesy heavy rocker.

9)Milk cow blues (8,0) A cover of bluesartist Kokomo Arnold. A good boogierocker!
