The KISS thread

[Sparky]

An announcement: Next week, I will listen to and evaluate an entire KISS album. But which album? Post your suggestions and rationales here. Everything's up for grabs, from what's awful to what's "good."

If I had to pick one, I'd go with 'Alive!'. Like most live albums, kind of a "best of", but with a bit more energy than the studio versions.

[Dr. Medulla]

Both revbob and Sparky are picking something I'm familiar with and even considered "good." I'll do it, but, really, wouldn't you rather me evaluate something much more recently and undeniably awful?

How about Psycho Circus? Seems like a good Hoyston options because KISS+90s.

Now you're thinking! If I'm going to suffer, I want to hurt others, too.

Ok Lick it Up.

Then let's consider giving "Hot In The Shade" a spin.

Unmasked because it was the very cusp of them turning shit.

[Dr. Medulla]

Now y’all’s are thinking! What can hurt me and Heston alike?!

edit: Unmasked was on the cusp?

Plus they have the make up so it meets Heston’s thread criteria.

From the first page...

My input in this thread will deal with the years 1973-1981, though other people can talk about the "Vinnie Years" or suchlike if they choose.

That ship sailed when they were still Lester Molester or whatever the fuck.

Down goes Heston and I'm not sure if I'm getting up.

Ha! That gave me a good chuckle.

[Dr. Medulla]

I wish I could have delivered the death blow to the premise of this thread, but if not me, I'm quite happy that revbob was the agent of justice.

[Dr. Medulla]

I liked Hoy's idea of Psycho Circus but I also feel obliged to honour Heston's suggestion of Unmasked, so I will listen to and write a review of both. Not likely on the same day because that much concentrated awful is probably toxic.
