Yeah Perry talks about the whole thing in his memoir, i.e. laying down some guitar tracks then quitting the band but it's a little unclear how much of his playing was used - wikipedia spells that out more

draw the line and kings and queens at least are p much considered aerosmith classics, a bit different than a cover song

The first Joe Perry Project album 'Let the Music do the Talking' is really good too.

i love these Aerosmith albums. not the best, not flawless, but basically what you get when nobody has any expectations any more and you can just make music. and some of it is very good!
Draw the Line the best of them all though

I more or less do without all of these, but the title track to "Draw the Line" is one of my favorites (the original mix, which for some reason is mono - the later stereo remixes are a bit anemic), and the Al Hirschfeld cover is pretty cool.
Also "My Fist Your Face" is a respectable single, a rare bright spot from the lowest stretch of their career.

Draw the Line’s runaway win is proof that it doesn’t belong in this contest

You could call it a breath of fresh air considering where they were going, but some of Done With Mirrors may even be underproduced (and underwritten, which isn't as good). "Shame On You" sounds like they're live in the studio without overdubs, and fades out like they never bothered to come up with an ending. With no real standouts, it seems like a perfectly satisfying record of "deep tracks" for the Aerosmith fan.

Everything after Night has been horrible. They never should have given up drugs.

I've heard conflicting reports about whether they were drug-free by 1985?

Their drug albums are so superior to their sober albums it’s not even worth discussing.

I don't usually speculate about the inner lives of public figures but I do always wonder about how Tyler feels about the split. because they got SO much more successful after Vacation. like, "don't have to worry about some late-in-life-move," casino-gig-for-life successful. whereas when they were high, the chances were good they were just going to spin out & vanish. but nobody, in the world, can seriously claim that their sober music is a patch on what they did when they were the Toxic Twins. I was in an Alabama recording studio where there was a really elaborate lead-pencil graffiti on the console, really super sweet, and I said, what's this, and they said, oh Steven Tyler did that when he was tracking here about three years ago, and I thought, this dude has a strong creative streak and it hasn't been evident in his music since he saved his own life & settled his finances & those of his offspring forever. and yet. he has to know.
