KISS - Creatures of the Night (album)

Enjoyable, I like it. mile:

on KISS....
I have their first eight albums plus the four original solo albums on vinyl and cd...
I also have "the elder", "creatures of the night", "lick it up", "animalize" on vinyl,
I have "revenge", "carnival of souls", "psycho circus" and "sonic boom" on cd...
also have all their live albums on cd ('alive'/'alive II' on vinyl also....)
have all of Peter Criss' solo albums on cd and a live Ace album also....

all their albums have good and bad on them IMO, ie: half good/very good and also filler, except "carnival of souls" which I detest with a passion...

IMO, they only made two albums that were fantastic...."destroyer" and "revenge".

"psycho circus" had some very good moments, but again, several filler tracks, liked very little off "sonic boom" so I didn't buy "monster"...

ive seen KISS live five times including their first "kiss convention", which included lots of memorabilia on display, an 'unplugged' set plus a Q & A session....

the last time I saw them live I thought they (as vocalists) were ordinary, Paul couldn't hold or reach the notes he used to,
they have toured here twice since then and I refused to pay money to see them....

I always thought they were a great singles band but their albums lacked substance...
theres not many of Paul and Peter's songs I don't like...
I can take or leave Gene and Ace's songs overall...

its still pretty hard to knock them though, their live gigs are phenomenal to watch and IMO, their stage show is unsurpassed and probably never will be.

if you've never seen their "kiss symphony" dvd its well worth a look Ocean.
