1987
It was still the 70's when Kiss started playing catch up. There should be no surprises that this album sounds the way it does. In the early 80's when Metal started busting out and into the mainstream it was more legit and hard rockin'. By the time the mid/late 80's hit Metal ballads, keyboards and smokin' fast guitar solos jammed into every song...cheese pop metal had been run into the ground and been watered down to the point where it was very similar to runny diarrhea ...popular metal on MTV was really the bottom of suck. This is what Kiss is shooting for here and they nail it!-Strong contender for worst Kiss album and not surprisingly one of their best sellers. Certainly the best selling of the non make up era.
There's some rippin smoking guitar playing here. This album is super polished. It doesn't even sound like a band. It sounds like a production.
They're going for the lowest common denominator again. They achieved it! The keyboards...A bunch of song writers helping out. Did I say this might be the worst Kiss album? But it's still and interesting time capsule. The sounds here ARE MTV 1987 so much of this reminds me of the popular rock bands played at the time. Other bands...
