Meh. Just not a Kiss fan. While Detroit Rock City is a catchy song, this album as a whole isn't what I would throw on. 2/5
This incited next to zero emotion in me. It’s super bland and generic and forgettable. I think the closing song encompasses the whole album where afterwards you just don’t even feel like you listened to an album and have no concrete memory of any tune. Also that one Great Expectations song is creepy as hell. 3/10
Sikke et kedeligt røvballealbum.
- sorry kiss, I just don’t care
Never listened to kiss and was surprised how upbeat their music is. I think every single song was just generally about Rock and Roll music. I think it’s cute how much they love it. Overall an adorable little album 2.5/5
Olvidable IMO.
Meh. Maybe I had a headache. It was ok but I’m definitely not a KISS Army recruit.
very baffling, managed to disappoint me even when I had negligible expectations. grating vocals, nonsensical lyrics and a forgettable music in the background - all combine to form a lethal cocktail of mediocrity.
Not my cup of tea, but I’ll give a little since I’m a bit of a sucker for theatrical rock and an anthem. Had a few moments, but all in all the whole vibe felt shallow and a bit cringy.
I'm not sure I've actually heard a lot kiss songs despite them obviously being very well known. First of all love tha album cover and the amazing outfits. I dig it. The album itself almost wasn't what I was expecting. I expected something a bit more glam. It was quite classic rock I thought. It didn't blow me away. It was fine. Some funny weird song topics too
So cheesy. Would rather listen to literally any other hard rock. But, gotta respect.
1/18/23: I like the idea of some of these tunes blasting at a Dive Bar but it didn't really hit for me through headphones at 8AM while trying to get ready for work. Some very cringe lyrics, really stunning that KISS is one of the top-selling bands of all time. Just doesn't seem THAT mainstream to me but I guess they're not that far removed from the grandiosity and theatrics of Queen.
I like some of their bigger, bombastic hits, but a lot of this isn't hitting for me. It's alright. I was quite surprised at some of the slower, piano-based songs, so at least there's that. 2.5 / 5
Only rarely gets above mediocre
While Gene Simmons could be on the Mt Rushmore of musician douchebags, I honestly don't hate Kiss's music. Perhaps because I grew up in the 70's and they were huge, I mean huge.. Kiss Alive is really the one album to listen to, since it's close to a greatest hits. Kiss doesn't have single album that good enough to listen straight through. 2.5 stars
Mostly filler, no killer. The 3 hits are the 3 “decent” rock songs here. Kiss was more of an “act” than a band.
Juvenile teenage wank rock - but not entirely terrible
Wel grappig voor een keer
I really don't enjoy listened to Kiss. It's not the worst garbage ever, except for 'Great Expectations' which is horrible.
Whoever told Kiss that it would be fun if "Detroit Rock City" opened the album with a minute and a half of car sounds and radio noise need to be fired. It's especially a shame since it's actually quite a powerful opening song. While I'm initially intrigued by "God of Thunder" Simmons' vocals doesn't do anything for me and follow-up with "Great Expectations" is simply dreadful. I can sense what the hype is about on Destroyer with songs like "Detroit Rock City" and the anthem "Shout It Out Loud". But even after seeing the band live I simply have to admit that Kiss just isn't for me. Fun side note. "Beth" is Kiss' biggest commercial hit in the States. Boy, would I've liked to the fly on the wall to experience the disappointment in the face of whoever bought this album expecting more orchestral ballads.
I’ve always felt like Kiss sounds like they are just a Kiss cover band. Never been a fan.
Yeah that sure is KISS
There are a few decent songs on this album, but the rest are...like a bunch of songwriters attempted to write rock songs for a rock & roll musical but failed miserably. Just...bad. It's hard to take this seriously as real music and not a joke. The Monkees were a fake band with much, much better music than this "real" band.
This is pretty much exactly what I expected. Unfortunately.
Only like 2 songs that I liked :/
I don't care for Kiss
oxygen destoroyah
I hate Kiss but this is catchy and not terrible. Just a bit boring
Apart from a couple songs this is pretty forgettable
Bloody hell.
Fattar ej
The original butt rock.
Not amazing, but good rock
Its short and has Detroit Rock City and Shut it out on it....thats pretty much all I can say that's positive. Also Gene Simmons gives me nightmares 2 stars
Kiss sucks. "Shout It Out Loud" is a great track though. Kiss fans are like AC/DC fans – I know they exist, but I don't know anyone personally who just puts these albums on.
This is pretty tame---people thought they were wild satanists?
Was looking forward to this but not impressed
Had been expecting one of these to turn up. But was looking forward to better. Not v good
bengr
No, I still don’t see the Kiss appeal. Just a couple or four songs made it big here in the UK. Not very well produced LP, noises and production games just don’t work early on side 1.
2/5 meeeh
I was disappointed. Expected more but didn't enjoy most of these songs.
Detroit Rock City is a great opener, and probably Kiss' best song Shout It Out Loud is fun if pretty cheesy The rest of the album kind of sucks
This is a hard score to give, but despite my general tolerance for hair-band antics, there's simply too much Springsteen in this "hard" project. There's nothing wrong with a heavy metal album of-the-road, but the higher-concept first and last minutes are not enough to wash away the taste of Kiss slowing down and trying to get sincere.
Not my cup of tea
Ihan ok, mutta olihan lattea Meat Loafin jälkeen. Eron toki saattoi aavistaa jo kansien perusteella.
Style over substance, mediocre rock in elaborate costumes.
Totally uninspiring. Just sort of there. Even their blockbuster hit "Beth" just doesn't reach out and grab you. D+
Sweet pain - nice guitar riff Rock and roll party - nice singing melody Overall better than thought it would be, but yeah not ehat the doctor orderered
Blech
How can something so loud be so bland?
Never really understood how Kiss are so massive and I still don't. Not as cheesy as I was expecting but nothing special at all.
En ole oikein ikinä ymmärtänyt Kissin suosiota, eikä tämä levy ainakaan parantanut mielipidettä bändistä. Yhtään biisiä levyllä ei ollut ennaltaan tuttuja, enkä koe että yhtäkään näistä kappaleista olisi tarpeellista enää koskaan kuulla. Tylsää kasarirockia keskinkertaisilla sävellyksillä. Peruskakkonen.
Allt í lagi rokk og ról
KISS is one of those artist that almost everyone knows, not only for their iconic look, but also for their major hit singles. This is my first time ever listening to an entire album by KISS and now I understand why people call them a "singles" band. While there were a couple of decent tracks here, overall this thing is just so generic and bland. There were much more interesting things going on during the 70's that I would way rather listen to.
I'm not a Kiss hater. Honestly, going into this record having never sat down and listened to it, I assumed that it would probably end up in the 3.5 to 4 range for me. It's just a shame I find there to be more outright stinkers on here than actual quality tracks. Costumes aside, rabid fans aside, Kiss don't make bad music. But if this is their peak, maybe I overestimated them. Favorite tracks: "Detroit Rock City", "Shout It Out Loud"
2.8 - Not much here to elevate Kiss as more than a novelty stadium act. Good on them for creating a brand with mass appeal but to me, it all just smacks of Spinal Tap.
Which is better: KISS, or the ninth grade garage band in your neighborhood? I'm not sure I know the right answer. Best track: Shout It Out Loud
-Easy to listen to -Cool makeup and outfits -Cool album art -Neat fade out at the end of the album -Favourite songs are God of Thunder, Beth
Meh. Decent at its best, but painful at its worst. I would genuinely be embarrassed if caught listening to this again.
did not like this haha
Eh. Not as much energy as I would've wanted 2.3
Meh. Schlock rock.
Not my thing. Got that Bob Ezrin atmosphere but it just makes it sound even more ridiculous. Grateful this album is only 34 minutes long.
Favourite songs- Detroit Rock City (Though it did not need two minutes to actually start), Flaming Youth, Shout it Out Loud It's a little bit overly noisy at points, a thing that's not rare with Kiss, but overall this was a pretty fun album. That's really what Kiss is about- they're not really an amazing band musically, but they just do fun, straight-ahead rock music. But still, I think there was a lot of filler, especially for an album that is quite short. I mean, apart from the three songs I listed, I could really do without the rest of the record. And, Rock N Roll party is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard in my life. Why would they put that on the record?
It was okay.
Meh, sorry grunge rock!
A couple great ballads.
Jenni got a wellness check/Joseph bought me ribs for dinner. Ryan and Josh had family meeting.
Kiss is less scary than I thought. Maybe the make-up that is actually not that scary, okay maybe a little.. and the fact that they also play glam rock was not something I knew before I listened to this album. I was not really paying that much attention during this listen, but now I know that the motor city of the US also produced this kind of music.
Sounds pretty dated and cheesy
Com certeza Kiss foi inovador e influenciou muitas bandas na epoca mas as musicas em si nao sao grande coisa.
AC/DC played at .75x speed
A bit tired in the beginning, and a little shaky on exit. Good party vibes though
KISS is not for me. Trite.
meh
well kiss my grits
meh, not really my thing
So grating, and I can't find the greatness
First band on this app that I've seen live! Another perfectly fine album. I think I'm just more of a Kiss appreciator. Singles are pretty great, there rest doesn't do much for me.
I know they're popular and it's a "good" album, but I'm good with this.
gewoon leuk, maar wel te pop rock achtig 2.5/5
Cheese on toast!
Shit sandwich
Very simple and market oriented. Not anything exceptional.
kiss is no one's favourite band. if they are your favourite band... well, please reconsider
Never a Fan.
No thanks
This album is poo poo butt. I can't even describe how let down i was to finally listen to a band that caused such moral panic and realize it was the most boring, dull shit imaginable. I felt like I remembered liking the song Detroit Rock City in the past, but not this time. The entire album just glommed together in one big, unsatisfying mass. Beth makes Poison sound like The Beatles. I'm not sure how to describe this feeling, but I know in my heart a woman making this list would never have put this album on here.
Takes a lot of balls to call an album this soft "Destroyer." I got a ton of jokes but this basically just sucks: basic if sometimes catchy guitar riffs, shitty singing, shitty lyrics, shitty production. Went in one ear and out the other. I listened to it AGAIN to see if I was missing something and I forgot what Detroit Rock City even sounded like when it came on the second time. Fuckin' wild to have this cotton candy stuff after Nine Inch Nails since it makes this feel even more cloying and saccharine and flat than I would've thought.
If I’m at a dinner date with the band/album - I’m getting up, faking a bathroom trip and exiting out the back door. They trying to be arena rock, Bruce Springsteen, gwar, ballad rock…idk and not do they, but whatever it is, they aren’t good at it.
A mediocre novelty act with no place on any list like this. Their musicianship is sophomoric, at best, which limits them to rudimentary songs. But very UNLIKE the Stooges and Ramones - contemporaries also engaging in overdriven, rudimentary songs - Kiss’ music is devoid of urgency, authenticity, passion, or originality. The product FEELS contrived and pretentious - almost cynical.
Dad/poser rock. It's all very safe. Only thing I like about KISS is their costuming and make-up, definitely makes them stand out. There's a couple good riffs on this album but the lyrics and vocals themselves are boring. I think the only KISS song I actually like is I Was Made For Lovin' You but that isn't on this album unfortunetly. Good thing this record is only about 30 mins long so I wasn't forced to listen to them for too long. 1/5
I grew up being a massive Kiss fan. I know all the albums, I know all the songs, I’ve seen the tv movie, I’ve bought into the Kiss Kult more than I’d like to admit. But the sad reality is, much like Micheal Jackson, I don’t separate the art from the artist, and quite frankly, I have grown to truly HATE the band members of KISS. This has been a life long struggle supporting this fucking band only for them to individually all be some of the most deplorable and disgusting people alive. I could go into detail on each original member and why I hate them, but I do want to spend my time talking more about this album. Because as a Kiss fan this is the undisputed goat when it comes to KISS’s peak. It contains some of their biggest songs ever like “Beth”, “shout it out loud”, “Detroit rock city” , and even “god of thunder”. It’s just big dumb stadium rock energy, and frankly it’s probably one of their absolute best albums. But the reality is their music is wildly formulaic, and all the musical talent really comes from Ace. All the magic that KISS has comes from him. (Which is also why they had a breath of new life in the 80s when they get new guitar players for every 3rd album. But at the end of the day, this band is so unlikeable as people, they couldn’t even get along with each other, they are greedy, they are self absorbed narcissists, and most importantly they are self proclaimed pedos. Which I could separate my childhood from these fucking clowns….
I need less of this in my life. But at least this album DID give us this wonderful piece of art showcasing Beth calling Peter - he explains why he can't come home right now https://youtu.be/_Q_VZ6PX7gc?si=c7GGDa4vhVEtzpmE
KISS sucks
This is like Queen if Queen had zero talent, wore worse outfits, and wrote super stupid songs. And Queen is not my taste. I didn't think I'd hate it, but then there was a whole album of it that I listened through. Belongs on the list only as a warning to us all.
One of the worst rock band of all time ? Maybe, but its for sure one of the most awfull album ive ever heard. 1 really ass hit + 8 uninteresting, recicled fillers with dogshit lyrics. "Beth" is one the worst ballade ever. The singing is so shit. Fuck this band and fuck Gene Simmons too.
Well, if I had never heard the whole album I would have missed that lyrically beautiful ballad "Great Expectations". I had to do some digging to see if this was satire. I don't think it was. Know who's more over-rated than Metallica? This band.
When to listen: want cheery, childish rock? Honestly this album underwhelmed me, I felt like it didn't know what it wanted to be.
This must have been a challenging gig for Bob Ezrin. Firstly, these songs sound like they were written by a junior high band. When Stanley sings first I drink, then I smoke, he comes across as a 14 year old who’s done neither. Then there’s the musicianship. They hit the notes but it sounds off, like it’s their first year playing. The lick in the middle of Detroit Rock City is great, but it sounds like Ace just learned it and can only just play it. If this album were marketed alongside Saturday morning cartoons it would make sense. The fact that it still endures is puzzling.
Pish then, still pish now.
Did not listen I-o it
This style of AOR is the most annoying thing in the world. Just annoying screeching vocals, and unlike AC/DC this isn't even saved by the music itself being good. Just all around glam slop, and it's refreshing to see that the public opinion on bands like this is shifting. I've never liked this kind of music and it's great to see that other people are starting to find it as annoying as I always have. We just need to leave this in the 70s and 80s and forget this era ever existed.
Somehow, despite all the bells and whistles (children's choirs! Sound effects!) it emerges as one of the least musically interesting albums on the list. Everything here had been done better, earlier, and we're left with some derivative, basically competent 70s guitar rock. Probably more fun to be in the band than to listen to them, though I'd prefer neither.
Always thought of kiss as an American version of queen. Easily avoided
kiss kasket
Somehow far, far worse than I could ever imagine.
Comical. Bad.
Music 2 stars. Lyrics and vocals -1
Please
(22/100)
Kiss psycho snorecus
OMG this is some rubbish. §Did these idiots never see Spinal Tap? They'd be more accurate wearing clown suits.A triumph of spectacle over music. Tried to think what could make it worse. A cover of the wife beating hypocrites horrible dirge Imagine or Blobbie Williams doing "guest" vocals. Horrible beyond belief. Do I have to give it a star?
#20. My first KISS experience, and my first one star review. I only know the band by reputation and the few songs I’ve previously heard on the radio. I thought this would at least be a fun listen, and I was genuinely shocked at how terrible it was. “God of Thunder” and “Great Expectations” were especially bad, almost bordering on parody. Good for KISS for being trailblazers in the rock showmanship department, and making a ton of money doing so, because if it was based solely on their music they would have been long forgotten.
This was painful. Gene Simmons is a 🤡
i dont do hard rock
Woah King Of The Night Time World feels like a sketch, it's so lame. This album makes me want to be a bully in the 70s. I want to stuff these guys in a locker. No band has a bigger distance between their mythos and their sound. Sure was a lot of lead in gas back in the day huh? Dweebs.
Never has a bands image and lore been so different from their music. The mixing is so bad at times. Just a cacophony of instrumentation that doesn't sync up. The whole package is sloppy. There are a few moments that almost tricked me into thinking that there was something. In the grand scheme of things sure KISS can be some dumb fun, but they almost have that U2 issue for me. They took up so much space in the collective consciousness that just isn't worth it. The money thrown at them that could have been spread around to local artists.
Hate KISS. Put this off for a while and this has not changed my mind
That was a long 34 minutes. Expected Destroyer to be better, this listen was a let down. The Beth song was the best song, and it’s even that good. L = (1.0*s) And that’s for the tongue. J = (1.3*s) They’re all glitz and make up. Didn’t need to hear this album, ever.
Never been a big KISS fan and figured maybe there was something I had been overlooking over the years. After listening to Destroyer, evidently not as this album was an absolute travesty of wimpy arena rock. Is this really the best that KISS has to offer? How these guys got a huge following is beyond me if this is considered some of their best work. After Detroit Rock City (which is fine but really not that great in itself) you get 30 minutes of some of the lamest arena rock and wuss ballads. I couldn't believe how lame this whole album was. Shameful wimp-rock at it finest. KISS has always been a maligned band in my eyes. Whether you like their music or not, the facepaint, branding and live show antics are a reason to include them in musical fandom conversations I guess. They carved out a niche and somehow curated a rabid fanbase. They became bigger than their music and have some of the strangest cross pollination ever between bad movies, reality tv shows, pinball tables, casket sales and failed arena football teams. I'll always love Detroit Rock City (the movie) but feel like I can write off KISS pretty much entirely after this listen. 1.40 stars
Mostly rubbish, and a couple of morally very dubious songs. Spoiled my dog walk
I can see how teenage boys in the 70s ate this up. Now it just seems kind of cheesy.
Like a SNL parody of hard rock-with some of the worst lyrics ever sung by someone who can’t sing. Horrible.
What’s big and dumb and not my idea of fun? This album. It’s the sort of record that makes you wonder if music was a mistake. I suppose I was able to sit through the whole thing, but the first three tracks were genuinely the worst time I’ve had during this challenge so far. The best thing I can say about it is that it was short.
Sounded exactly how I expected a Kiss album to sound, like some sort of Alice Cooper castoff. I'm not a big fan of Alice Cooper's brand of glam rock, so his castoffs are not going to be great. Indeed, this is a pretty awful collection of boring and predictable tracks. I was half hoping Beth might be good, seeing as it was some sort of breakout single, but it was slushy awfulness. The band sound like they turned up under duress and were forced to half-heartedly perform. Is it unredeemable? Yes, absolutely, one star.
Honestly it was boring. Repetitive, bad lyrics with an occasional jammin’ groove that was ground to dust under Simmon’s repeated crow retching.
Don’t love kiss :(
Sounds to me like the prototype of all the uninspiring, long-hair, wannabe-rockstars records of the 1980s
Cringe and corny. Did not need to listen to this before I die
Because 0 is not an option
Incredibly repetitive. Beth was the best song?!
This is a very uncool album, with every song being about rock n roll despite the music delivering a fairly pop version of the genre. But is it a bad album? The first three songs lead you to believe it's not. The opener has great drumming and "God of Thunder" is reminiscent of doom metal with its big riffs and chorus. After that though things plunge straight into cheese with the dramatic "Great Expectations." The album picks up a bit from there but then gets to "Beth," a limp ballad with lame lyrics about ruining a relationship because you want to play rock with the boys. "Do You Love Me?" isn't much better - it's clear at this point the band's only subject matter is being in Kiss. This isn't mean to be a deep album, but the formulaic songs and choruses that are driven into the ground mean it's not very fun either, despite having a couple legitimately good songs.
da bin ich ja mal gespannt...- furchtbar! c
Not for me!
Ok, wow…I got through the first 2 tracks and thought “huh, this isn’t as bad as everything is making it out to be” and then God of Thunder came on and yes, it is. It just was all downhill from there. Great Expectations…really, Beethoven? I have heard other artists use that specific sonata’s melody before but at least those artists used it well. Shout It Out Loud was pretty good. And what the fuck was Rock and Roll Party at the end? At least this album is fairly short. And it was pretty bad, but it definitely wasn’t boring.
No thanks
Overrater
why is detroit rock city about a guy having fun drunk driving and speeding
I know I'm not the target audience for KISS, but I don't find any talent or ingenuity or even fun in their songs. I like maybe 2 of their songs and neither are on this album.
Unpopular opinion: Kiss is one of the most overrated bands in the history of rock and roll. Actually, all of music. This is the first full album of theirs I’ve ever listened to, in fact the only time I’ve intentionally listened to anything KISS. I dislike them more now than ever. This was incredibly one dimensional; every song was “we’re a rock band, we’re awesome.” Even the ballad was centered around the “I’m in a rock band” concept. It was just nonstop chest thumping and posturing, which I detest in general. Song specifically, I hated God of Thunder. It sounded terribly produced to me. And why was there a kid in the background? The pandering of Do You Love Me is actually embarrassing. Detroit Rock City in isolation is not a bad song, but in no way does it warrant the cult following Kiss has cultivated. There was nothing about the rest of the album I care to think about, much less comment on. In all fairness, it is brilliant marketing, which is really what their whole thing is. They’re not musicians so much as a business. And I hate that. I don’t listen to music to be sold the product that is the band.
Det er rart. Som ungdom tenkte jeg at de var så flinke, men det er utrolig dårlig kvalitet på opptakene og låtskriving er pinlig dårlig. Peter Criss på Beth er så svak og dårlig.
AWFUL
I feel about this album the same way I feel about Smirnoff Ice. It's a mystery that there is even 1 person that likes this shit.
Never really understood kiss or the kiss-hype
Not my cup of tea
i was going to give it a star for god of thunder but then took it away because kiss suck and gene simmons is a horrible person. if these clowns don't take themselves seriously, why should i...
i don't like this grandpa......
Whatever I don't get glam Why was the 70s? I think I hate this
Some days I just can’t do it
I wasn't going to listen to this album because I have always avoided Kiss but I wanted to see if listening would change my mind. It did not. If anything, I will put this on the 1001 albums you should avoid at all costs. These guys make the most boring, generic rock and roll that I have ever heard. Just goes to show that because you wrap s*** up in a pretty package, it still stinks.
Booooooo!!! 🍅🍅🍅 I actually hated this. bland, uninspired, generic, boring rubbish. I knew I wouldn’t like it as it’s kiss, a band who focus on looks and live stage presence rather than quality of music, their looks don’t even match this music and also Gene Simmons. Seriously though there’s barely anything redeemable about this, the mix/production is so terrible, it sounds muddy and is like you’re listening to an amateur live band playing nearby with terrible sound quality, . At least it stops you hearing them playing their instruments a bit as every aspect of instrumentation is the most generic thing, boring riffs and drums which isn’t helped by the fact that they can clearly only come up with 30 seconds of a song before just repeating the same thing over and over again with the most random and awful lyrics they could come up with. The only thing keeping this being even lower is that the first song is a little better than the rest (despite the 2 minute bike intro) and the strong point Beth is at least ok. I don’t even know what genre you would call this, it’s not hard rock or metal, more like rubbish soft/glam rock with distorted guitars, vocals were quite bad as well. Really did not like this but at least it was on the shorter side of albums, favourites: none. overall, 2/10
Their fourth album. Hard Rock / Metal. The all time biggest sell out Pop Rock band. Shit lyrics, basic musicianship and strained vocals. The most talented part of KISS were the people in their marketing department. This isn't sticking it to the man, this is the man. Utter shit. !
Really didn't enjoy this. This felt like Rock N Roll as it would be depicted on stage by some local band in Saved By The Bell or somesuch.
I associate Kiss with a very particular brand of soulless rock. Not good enough to fill stadiums nor rootsy enough to fill halls, and it's left floating around in a clinical arena-netherland. They are dragging the aesthetics of glam into the big-hair rock of 80s America and the results are bad. In many ways it has the soulless feel of the worst of ZZ Top without the bluesy credibility of ZZ's best bits. 'Sweet Pain' is probably the worst of more than a fair share of album naffery. The way Stanley sings "anayhow, anayhow" is unbearable. I was shocked to realise the album is only 33 minutes. It feels a heck of a lot longer. I can't put this in the two category. It's worse than that.
No
I wish someone would destroy all copies of this. Plodding rock-opera stuff. There were some terrible records made in the '70s, and this has to be near the top of that particular pile. Got as far as Flaming Youth and bailed.
Refused to listen.
Yikes. As bad as I thought it was going to be. OK, I can admit "Detroit Rock City" is solid (minus the drawn out intro found on my listen) But the rest of it is slop.
Jesus, this is lame. The 'rock' songs are formulaic and dull, the vocals are horrible, and this entire shtick just doesn't work for me. And HOW REPETITIVE CAN YOU BE, goddamn.
An Alice Cooper parody act who took themselves seriously, Kiss always seemed to me like the band from a musical about a hard rock band and this is exactly album that a glam band from a musical would make. Competently made by people who know the genre and know how to take all of the stupid gimmics of a hard rock band and dial them up to 11 for dramatic effect. The only good thing about this is that these songs aren't quite as ground to death by radio overplay as their bigger hits.
I'm sorry but Kiss are really a bit silly, aren't they? That cover is ridiculous.
Getting a 70s rock album from this list feels like being told you're going to have steak for dinner. And then you get there, and it's this album. It's like if the steak was unseasoned and cooked poorly and also gave you food poisoning. This is bland and difficult to get through. There are some moments that are pretty good, and nice to listen to, and enough of those moments come together on "King of the Night Time World" that I can say it's my favorite song on the album without grimacing. But I think the less is said about this album as a whole the better. Favorite Song(s): King of the Night Time World
It's like if you asked an AI to write hard rock. Plastic, banal, uninspired.
thought it might be fun, but it's terrible
Nothing interesting to say about an album with nothing interesting say
I always thought I hated Kiss Now I know for sure I hate this
My MIL is a huge Kiss fan and also a huge POS, so this is more than a bit biased, but I fucking hate Kiss. They’re a subpar glam metal band with a 70s cool marketing gimmick. Everything they do is in service of commodifying their brand. My MILs house is full of crappy Kiss branded tchotchkes. There’s a reason “Beth” is their best song, and that’s because it isn’t a Kiss song.
If this is one of your favorite albums I am gonna assume you just don't care about music.
Vocals were quite unimpressive. God of Thunder is so goofy. You might find me singing ironically.
I don’t get it. Only one song sounded satanic.
What makes this so incredibly terrible is that they were 100% serious about it. They could have turned around like "sike, it's a joke!" like haha guys you got me there! But no, they were sincerely trying to make music and. It's bad.
Are Kiss cool? No, seriously, are they? They must've been at the time, otherwise how did anyone take them seriously? They definitely became uncool in the 90's, Alt-Rock and Grunge were never gonna let these discount Arthur Browns be anything other then lame as hell. However, we're in new sincerity now, "Bat Out of Hell" is fucking awesome, is Kiss getting the same reevaluation? Well guess what, I've decided I get to answer this question permanently. KISS... IS... NOT COOL. Fuckin' pop-rock-metal garbage isn't over-the-top enough to be Meatloaf or legit enough to be Sabbath. I wrote this review listening to "Great Expectations", which may legitimately be the worst song ever made. Beth does nothing for me, fuck this album.
In a nutshell: trying to keep the party going. I think Kiss is one of those bands that you can get away with listening to a "greatest hits" compilation or a live album. Once you’ve heard one Kiss song, you’ve got the gist of what others are like. Overall: 1/10
I know a few KISS songs and listening to this album makes me want to forget the ones I know Schlocky glam gimmicky garbage Without the theatrics (and probably all the drugs the fans took) this band would have been forgotten
My goodness that was dumb.
i fucking hate KISS. everything about them is infuriating to me. that's all i have to say about that.
power rangers
A finely polished turd. This is a fine example of just how shit people’s tastes can be. Total dreck and the musical equivalent of a straight to video movie I wish I could give this zero stars
only track i likes was detroit rock city. just really not for me. surprised this came out in the 70s because it sounds so 80s and KISS definitely pioneered that genre.
not a fan of kiss at all so not going to listen lol
Kiss isn't music....
3/10 First time actually listening to Kiss and now I understand the need for the flamboyant aesthetic - their music is incredibly uninspired and uninteresting. Maybe my opinion of this would improve on subsequent listens but not going to invest any more time in it. Listens: 1
Nei offameg. Jeg klarer ikke å like dette.
Nah.
Oh god not this one today. I hate Kiss. They may be the actual band playing real instruments that I hate the most. They are a joke. Remember when they took off their makeup and no one wanted to listen to them anymore? That tells you all you need to know about Kiss. They are a stage show, not musicians. You could compare them to Alice Cooper in that regard I suppose but with Alice Cooper, the music was still good. As for this, sure, there are some decent guitar parts and solos but on the whole, the music is simple, the lyrics are infantile, and the production is bad. I hate it. And it's weird reading through the reviews of this record. Most are uniformly in the same boat as me. I truly don't understand the people who would call this a masterpiece. I mean that's setting a pretty low bar for what qualifies as a masterpiece. I get that some people are rating purely out of nostalgia but this is objectively bad music. 1/5
2/10
The Disney version of Satanism
I hate kiss.
Can't believe my divorced Dad's favorite band made it on the list.
no
Not for me 1/5
Lame
I remember I had a phase a while back where I couldn't believe that Kiss were so popular despite all of their music being so terribly boring. So I went and listened to their back catalog and... found nothing. This album is emblematic of it. It's trying to fake being a hard rock band but with zero song writing talent. The songs are so humdrum and boring. I accept that the bands theatrics and stage show were innovative and significance, but judging on music alone it's so boring. The songs are repetitive and there's so little to them, it's really a chore to get through the entire thing. Compare this with Alice Cooper, where they had the stage theatrics but the first several albums also have incredible music. So you can really have both, and Kiss don't have the music to back up their image.
I managed to listen to the whole album, thankfully it's a short one
It's impossible for me to take Kiss seriously. I really liked them in high school. I skipped a soccer practice to see them and Aerosmith (and saliva weirdly enough) which came with a stiff 30 lap penalty the next day. Totally worth it. This sounds like music a high schooler would like. As a discerning adult, it's just cheese. That this got conservative Christian's panties in such a bunch is hilarious. There are multiple ballads in this beast that undermine any heavy persona they are trying to portray. Detroit Rock City still rips though. Bonus star for that song. But then Great Expectations rips that star away. So many of these tracks sound like Styx songs. Flaming Youth and Sweet Pain would fit right in on The Grand Illusion
So it turns out before KISS was on shirts at Hot Topic and before Gene Simmons made a legendary ass of himself, they actually made music. I’ll be damned. Standard 70s cock rock but there were many other bands doing it better. Gimme Golden Earring, Bad Company, Foreigner, or even Aerosmith. Less makeup and less marketing budget in those though. The biggest problem for me is that KISS just isn’t any fun, despite their image. It’s almost like they’re taking themselves seriously, and I certainly can’t in 2025.
i could shut my brain off and ignore how cynical and lacking in any kind of artistic sentiment kiss is if there was anything fun or enjoyable about the music, but as far as i can tell the music only exists to serve as an in-group signifier for America's most tragically boring simpletons (and to sell licensed merchandise of course)
Kiss is rock's version of Taylor Swift
Cliche ridden clown rock. Like Spinal Tap but unfunny. Bullshit.
just kinda sucks ass
still trying to understand why so many artists that I like cite Kiss as an influence
This is the most boring rock album I’ve ever heard and here on album 445 the new worst thing we’ve had. the 70s must have been so boring
i tried my best not to listen to this
Kiss is one of the most overrated bands on the planet. Nothing these guys do is in anyway exceptional, they just trick stupid old people into thinking that they're good because of the way they present themselves with all the makeup and flashy costumes. This band is the definition of style over substance. As for the album itself... This is nothing more than another generic classic rock album. Its not the worst thing I've ever heard but its certainly no masterpiece. Favorite track: None lol 1.5/5
Crap
Completely forgettable
Joke metal dressed as clowns. Truly awful. There is nothing positive I can say about it , apart from it ended.
There aren't many bands I have an active dislike to, but along with guns n roses, KISS are one of them. Had a mate that was into them when we were kids, I'm sure I remember watching something with them in but cannot remember what ... The opening track is ok, the rest is completely vapid and uninteresting, you can see why they decided on the face paint gimmick. No way this classifies as something you should hear before you die
You know I was expecting that I wouldn't be super in to this, but was hoping it would at least be fun to listen to. Really disappointed to find it's not even fun to listen to as dumb straightforward rock. These songs just suck. There is a reason Detroit Rock City is the only song that has had any lasting power. Ouff, this is so bad and not worth listening to.
I’m good guess I can die now that I’ve heard this shit
It’s embarrassing to even think that there was a time in my life when I thought Kiss was good. And I know we all did when we were 12, but it’s worse than you can imagine. Because holyyyyyy shittttt is this album bad!!!! Every song you think, “No, but that’s a good song,” just…isn’t. The riff on “Detroit Rock City” is good, but drove into the ground by its own insistent repetition, and the overdubs of radio chatter and motorcycles not only make it cartoonish, but hard to listen to as a stand-alone track. Meanwhile, “Shout It Out Loud” isn’t the bombast my brain thought, but instead as sterile as a 65 year old Dad mimicking air guitar at his retirement party. For the sappier amongst us, I thought “Beth” would at least be a breath of fresh air, but while the song is well-composed, Criss’ vocals are maybe some of the worst vocals I’ve ever heard on any record ever. And those singles are Destroyer’s HIGHLIGHTS!!!!! Everything else here is WORSE THAN THAT!!!! It’s pretty much different flavors of string cheese for toddlers and/or sheltered middle schoolers who imagine rebellion as a cliché episode of Skins (US). I have never laughed out loud at a song as hard as I did when “Great Expectations” came on. And like, the fact that Kiss clearly suck as studio musicians aside, the material itself is lame as hell. The riffs, the lyrics, the hooks – they all straight up suck. “Do You Love Me” is as close to okay as any track here besides “Detroit Rock City,” and it’s still an atrocity. I think if you end a record with muted crowd noise to imitate a riotous fanbase, you probably don’t have that fan base. And ironically, I revisited Alive!, just to make sure, and while I wouldn’t say it’s a good album – still sterile songwriting, still mediocre playing, still fake illusions of adoration, still lame topics and comic book visions of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll – it at least could fool you into believing Kiss are worth remembering, and is also way more deserving of being included on this list. Destroyer, on the other hand, should make people run for the hills. Unless you grew up with Kiss in the ’70s and never stopped listening, this record is a rough time, featuring some of the worst songwriting, studio performances, and fucking musical ideas I’ve ever heard in my life. Grow up. Give up on Kiss.
Just awful. No wonder they needed the makeup and costume gimmicks to try to attract listeners.
just a waste of time. not a fan. like many others say...it's just bland rock and roll. If I saw them on a Wednesday at a biker bar, it would be about the level of music I would expect.
Bobbins. Everything about KISS and especially this hokum rock.
Couple of decent songs, but the rest were cheesy and/or obnoxious. Was teetering on 2-stars until “Beth” which was so cringeworthy had to drop to 1-star.
Nope. Just nope. Too dumb to be taken seriously. Gene Simmons is an all time asshole. Hard pass.
Very rarely does the word 'lame' apply to an album on this list. It does here. While I can get that their cartoon characters, merchandising and onstage antics are all not for me, but understandable, what is completely unforgivable here is the almost complete lack of ROCK. These tracks are weedy, puny and devoid of almost everything that their image says they will be. Makes me realise that although I dislike almost everything about Meatloaf, at least his music cashed some of the cheques his image wrote. The sound of uncashed cheques here is deafening. I mean, Beth, what gives men? Destroyers of worlds. Hah Destroyers of hankies more like.
gene simmons shouldn't be allowed to sing
no, no
I refuse to listen to this dreck.
1 good first song and then 9 dreadful remaining ones
Не понравилось
Kiss son un género en sí mismos. Más allá de su estrafalaria imagen e identidad, tienen buenas canciones y han tenido buenos discos. Este es uno de ellos aunque no el mejor. Destroyer fue su cuarto disco, suena a Alice Cooper (su productor y parte de su banda formaron parte del elenco) y además cuenta con el apoyo de la New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra. Detroit Rock City es todo un clásico de su discografía y conciertos. King of the night time world es rock duro del clásico, God of thunder es más duro aún. Great expectations es una balada, que nada tiene que ver con la de los Stones, pero aún sale a flote a costa de meter un coro, orquesta y todo tipo de grandilocuentes recursos. Flaming youth y Sweet pain van con el piloto automático. Shout it loud sube el nivel con otra de esas canciones que funcionan en directo o en cualquier fiesta, Beth es una buena canción (sinfónica), Do you love me es otro clásico de su repertorio y cierran con R´n´R party. No es su mejor disco (los dos primeros se llevan por delante a cualquiera) pero está lejos de sus descalabros posteriores. Shout It Out Loud, Flaming Youth, Detroit Rock City y Beth fueron los sencillos editados del álbum, siendo esta última el gran éxito del disco. Otros discos de 1976, mejores todos que este Destroyer: Songs in the key of life, Hotel California, Love to love you baby, Desire, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, el directo de Peter Frampton, Jailbreak, Station to station, Arrival, Black and blue, Fly like an eagle, The year of the cat, los debuts de Boston, Modern lovers, Ramones y Tom Petty...
1/5 j'écoute pas de la musique pour avoir des effet de son de drift ou d'accidents
Not my cup of tea.
Irritating Hard Rock, especially while navigating in traffic.
I listened to the first 4 or 5 songs off this on my way home after a couple of pints, and it was even worse than I expected. If the first half was that bad then, no way am I listening to the second half sober!
Once the childlike worship of the makeup wears off this music is terrible.
Most overrated band of all time. Kiss is like a parody of a hard rock band, but not being hard, rock, or good, but still serious...
Dads of the world unite, your sleazy sweaty raunchy tunes are here in their goofiest form. Its only real saving grace is the rather tight instrumentation.
on album 207 I will finally break my streak of making sure I listen to every album all the way through because work has not been kind to me today, the only listenable kiss song I've heard was the album opener, and gene simmons can go fuck himself in his fat fucking ass, kiss sucks fuck you 0 stars
blegh
Fucking hate kiss
Hilarious
I have thought of Kiss as a costume band that was loud and appealed to disaffected young men. This album has not changed my mind. Spend your precious time elsewhere
I strongly dislike this band. 0/5
How this band became so popular remains a mystery to me. Pantomime cock rock for stupid people.
I had to listen to this one at the office and I was embarrassed someone might see me listening to this. I don't know much about KISS, but I never thought they had a bad singer, but man who ever is "singing" on God of Thunder is not it. Great Expectations is one of the dumbest, lamest, blandest ballads I have ever heard. High 1.
What someone who hates classic rock thinks all classic rock sounds like.
boring generic audio mush- if you’ve heard one song you’ve heard them all
Ugh, I can't believe I was at the concert they performed the night that Elvis died. I was with my best friends from high school. It was a rite of passage. As for the music, puh-leeze, there's just no explanation for how or why these guys exist. Harsh review, I'm sorry.
I guess if it weren't for this project I'd never have listened to an entire Kiss album right through. An unfunny and significantly less musically talented Spinal Tap.
Another very popular band that would be mean and tough but is totally boring for me, typical American mediocre shit, music for children between 5 and 7 years old. 1 star is more than enough.
A difficult listen. 1-1-1
Es war wirklich schwer für mich dieses Album durchzuhören. Das ist so ganz und gar nicht meins irgendwie.
Zu alt
No
started off strong, but then became just a collection of perv-glam-rock. incoherent NNN
1 Star per song I liked on this album.
I had a tough time rating this one because on the one hand this was just awful, but on the other did make it through the whole thing. So on my new grading system it should get a 2 but it didn't have a single good song and some that were just terrible like "Beth" and "Great Expectations". First time listening to a Kiss album as they were never a band I took seriously because of the makeup and Pyrotechnics, that's the only reason people like them right? They're not very good and their only good song I'm aware of "Rockn roll all nite" isn't on this shit album so fuck it round down 1!
Lyrics seem to have been written by a 12 year old. A cliché of a rock album and ridiculous. Geared me up for the Spinal Tap sequel.
American glam rock... Ive heard bits of their stuff before but nothing memorable... its was mostly a commercially directed peacock display by the members of the group, rather than any musical talent or composition. When I seen the album up for review I was a bit wary, but in the end, as it was a commercially sold image and sound, I found it not as bad as I thought it would be... although this album is supposed to be their best... oh wow. This kinda over hyped dramatics is just not my thing. I'd struggle to find something constructive to say, so I'll summarise in one word what my gut feel was for this album and group... Shite!
Don’t like KISS
I am not a fan of KISS. I don't know how much my dislike of KISS has to do with how insufferable Gene Simmons is. While not a hard listen, I was happy when it was over.
Well, at least it isn’t too long… God, Paul Stanley is pathetic. Middway through the album his whole deal is how a girl has to have great expectations to want to sleep with him, by the end of the album he’s worried that the sort of woman he’s attracting with his rock n roll life style doesn’t really love him for who he is deep down. What deep down, Paul? You’ve spent all of your songs talking about how well you fuck and do rock n roll. There is no deep down, she’s as attracted to your personality as you are to hers. Is how my joke was going to go, until I found out that Great Expectations was written and sung by Gene Simmons. Motherfuckers can’t even set up jokes for reviews properly. I was gonna give this two stars to be charitable to Detroit Rock City and Beth. But fuck ‘em Outside of those two songs, everything else on this album is really bad and boring slabs of artless party rock that was no doubt very influential to the bad and boring slabs of party rock that made up the majority of mainstream rock in the decade that followed Destroyer’s release. I honestly don’t know why anyone would want to make music like this. I went and listened to Black Rose by Thin Lizzy immediately after this, and the difference is night and day. Phil Lynott actually had topics he wrote about, and they’re interesting and varied, he can go from a character piece about a down on his luck gambler, to a song about his daughter, to a song about addiction, to a song about Celtic mythology, all on one album. Kiss sing about sex, partying and rock, exclusively. The two highlights are, as mentioned above, Detroit Rock City and Beth. DRC is interesting mostly because of the instrumental sections. There’s some good harmonies there, and I can’t work out the time signature, so it always keeps me on my toes. It could have done without the minute and a half long build up of someone driving a car, but whatever. I enjoy the song at least. Beth is a nice ballad, Peter Criss has a good, throaty voice, and the lyrics make it seem as if he’s as pissed off at having to hang around with the rest of the band as I was at having to listen to them. It’s a great portrait of someone in a relationship being forced out by his asshole friends, and just counting the minutes until he can go home and stop pretending to be an asshole himself. Kiss do not work without the makeup and pyro. When you’re forced to listen to them just as music, the flaws in their songwriting and personalities become blindingly obvious. Gene Simmons can go and fuck himself for making this awful, awful band a thing with his marketing tactics
Nope. No depth to it and the generic vocalisations drive me bonkers. Bit embarrassing really for grown men.
Not it Chief. Very much of its time.
soooo glad we’re going as them for halloween
Just wow, I didn't realize how not Rock and Roll this group really is.
GOD THIS IS TERRIBLE MAKE IT STOP
Not a fan, nothing else
Always found Kiss' music gimmicky, uninspiring, and rather ordinary. A disrespectful waste of its listener's time, if you will. And I still do, I don't care about the band's image or how flashy their live shows with fireworks coming off their guitars are.
I can't believe KISS was ever considered a heavy band corrupting the youth with their demonic metal. This shit sounds like Christmas music. Hair metal ages in dog years. None of these guys are particularly talented. They're a marketing brand that just so happened to start as a music group. It's like listening to "Hello Kitty - The Album".
I had always thought that the entire KISS apparatus was a joke, and as a result I had never really sat down and listened to an entire album, every single song to give it that critical listening appraisal. I have now done that and can definitely say the entire KISS apparatus is a joke.
I know 70s male rock musicians were all trying to get with women. Great Expectations has to be THE LAMEST attempt to entice women ever written into a lyric sheet. There is zero creativity in this writer’s abilities. Look at these terrible lyrics: “You're sittin' in your seat And then you stand and clutch your breasts Our music drives you wild along with the rest You watch me singing this song You see what my mouth can do And you wish you were the one I was doin' it to And you watch me playin' guitar And you feel what my fingers can do And you wish you were the one I was doin' it to“ The saddest part is that the song probably still worked on a regular basis. Some of the other songs are OK, but I can’t get over Great Expectations.
Hair metal is so lame and cringe. Just don't see the appeal at all.
Schlock from the Schlockmiesters
I'm a few hundred albums into this "challenge", and this by far the worst album yet. I'd rather guzzle Satan's diarrhea than listen to this one again. If there was a magic spell that could undo this album to make it never exist and the material component for the spell was my ears, I would willingly sacrifice them to negate the existence of this trash.
Pure dribble, genuinly music is terrible and lyrics are like, I'm really cool all you ladies love me, dont you? Really come on I'm awesome. Your not awesome, you suck!
A bit shit, like a not very funny parody. Best bit? Only half an hour long. Still half an hour too long though.
If ever there was a band that relied on gimmicks and the flamboyancy of their live performances, it is KISS. So here I am, raised on the music several decades removed from these monochromatic maniacs, trying my best to unearth any signs that would validate the inclusion of this album on this list. I guess the question comes down to, are stage theatrics and live performances that accompany an album, a valid part of how that album should be appraised. Since I'm undecided on the answer, I'll split the difference and blow two half-hearted kisses in the general direction of these attention starved mascots. 😘😘 STOP... time out... YouTube autoplay just threw a wrench in to the works. Here I am seconds away from giving TWO STARS to a goddam KISS album, when the YT algorithm serves me a Motorhead song to remind me what 70's metal is supposed to sound like. Fuck that was close... Praise the algorithm once again! Perspective is everything!
At times, funny but then I’d remember it’s unironic and that it’s not a parody. The rest of the experience was characterised by boredom.
It is what it is 1.3
Well, seems like we have another 1 on our hands. At first, it seems like it might be an alright album, with the decent (and more self-aware) ‘Detroit Rock City’. Then it takes a nose dive - not good for an album that wasn’t particularly great anyway. The next two songs are just throwaway, but then we reach ‘Great Expectations’, which is literally about how you great the singer is and you how much you want him to notice you. You’ve apparently got ‘great expectations’, so he does, but here’s a question: what the HELL does that even mean? His head was probably so far up his own ass that it was cutting off his air flow or something. Then comes ‘Flaming Youth’, literally just the comedy stereotype of ‘punk kid is so much cooler than older people; they just don’t get it’, but it’s played completely seriously. That’s literally it. After that comes ‘Sweet Pain’ - on first listen, I only noticed the chorus, but then I realized it’s about involuntary S&M and how the girl will eventually love him for it. Holy shit. Let’s just move on to ‘Shout It Out Loud’, which is… the same thing as ‘Flaming Youth’ as a Wikihow article. One of the lines actually advises you to tell people saying that your parties are too loud that they’re ‘too old to understand’. I guess being a douche who doesn’t care about other people’s lives and not thinking about anyone but yourself fades away after 30 or so, unfortunately. ‘Beth’ is actually about framing the bros before hoes mentality sadly to your girlfriend, promising that he’ll be there in a few hours when she says he’s never home. It ends with him saying they’re playing all night. Lying, much? ‘Do You Love Me’ is fine. It doesn’t suck, but it’s not earning this shitload any points. The album closer is ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Party’. It’s just fanfare, but I guess that’s better than another song. Thank god this is short.
Holy shit KISS is a fucking awful band. Their music is generic and bland. None of them can fucking sing for shit. Completely forgettable music. Plus they are huge sellouts and have branded their name on every piece of garbage they could think of. I can't believe there was ever any controversy with this shitty band. Fuck off KISS, you're terrible and irrelevant.
Moronic
blech
Totally dog shit rock ‘n’ roll. This is the first time I’ve tried listening to KISS, outside of the occasional song I’ve heard through cultural osmosis. I’ve heard Detroit Rock City more times than I’ve cared to, and it has gotten no better on this play through, and every song after it feels like a worse version of it. Then there are the ballads, which are full of cheese and not in an endearing way. I have zero nostalgia for this band beyond their 90s resurgence where they began showing up on lunch boxes and Saturday morning cartoons, so they always felt like a joke to me. I guess if I was a high school jock in the 70s I’d probably love this, but now it feels like something a high school would use as the basis for some shitty original musical they’d put on. I suppose that’s not too far off from what they aimed for.
That was the dorkiest 37 minutes of rock ever recorded. Kind of endearing, but still, why
Not gonna lie… Detroit Rock City is actually pretty great. The rest of the album… definitely not.
Well, I always thought I vaguely liked Kiss and their weird mesh of genres, but apparently those songs I do like are flukes, because this was pretty bad. The album started pretty good with the first song, but past that it was generic and boring. It's a shame, because considering Kiss is usually seen as glam rock, I bet this will drag my score down for that sub-genre, which I figured would be my favorite by the end of this.
el audio es chotísimo. No me gustaron los temas tampoco, solo Detroit Rock City zafa. Me debía escuchar un album entero de Kiss para confirmar que me parecen una poronga.
I....HATE....KISS
Oof, not a fan.
I don’t get KISS. Despite a few catchy choruses, this album has nothing memorable. Some of the most horrrendous lyrics I’ve ever heard.
This album has one or two decent songs and the rest is just awful. I was embarrassed to be listening to this even with headphones on. Kiss is basically the hard rock equivalent of the Monkees: not the first, not the best, not original, just a show band.
It appears that the best thing about KISS is grandma dressing up as Gene Simmons from KISS to cheer up Happy Gilmore. Beyond basic.
Yeah sorry I can't stand this : / "Great Expectations" was just *shudders*
Detroit Rock City is fantastic. Couldn’t stick with the rest of the album though.
Kiss blows. Only ever knew the one Kiss song on Guitar Hero 3 (Rock and roll all nite), but I didn't realize EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR SONGS is about the same things as rock and roll all nite (wearing leather, playing rock and roll, partying, and making love). Thank God their final tour ever ended last month so no one ever has to be subject to this crap in person again.
kiss is actually resident sleeper. i did not enjoy the album
Er sminken det eneste dette bandet er kjent for? Bra musikk lager de iallfall ikke
It's like watching a parody that takes itself too seriously. Is the joke that Kiss doesn't know they are a joke band?
Meh
Um Himmels Willen, ist das scheiße! In weniger als 5 Minuten durchgeskippt. Musik, die keiner braucht, von einer Band, die keiner braucht. Kann und sollte man sich schämen für.
Not my thing AT ALL! Never has been, never will. Bombastic, bollocky, bollox. Krappy and Krummy Kobblers.
I don't like Kiss, but at least Detroit Rock City is a great song. Why are there so many random-ass sounds over the music on this album? The better songs on this album are still mostly kinda boring. Part of this is probably hindsight of the ages, I am sure this was a wild party rocking album in its day, but to my modern ears it sounds pretty easy-going and light.
Possibly one of the worst albums I've heard by one of the worst bands. Commercial "hard" rock by the numbers, sold by the bucketload, lapped up by sad losers chanting "THEY CAN'T CHANGE WHO I AM!". Whatever, Gene. Whatever.
