[CRAZY-HORSE]

KISS "dynasty" 1979. vinyl and cd. #2 AUST, #9 US, #50 UK

there was discontent in the Kiss camp in 1977, and in 1978 all members took a break and recorded solo albums, they also released a best of double album in that year "Double Platinum", the members decided to give it one more roll of the dice and in 1979 they gave us this this one.
this was also the last album drummer Peter Criss played on before he left the band, even though his face featured on their 1981 follow up album 'unmasked'
two big psuedo-disco singles came from this one "i was made for lovin' you" and "sure know something" both by Paul Stanley, and they are the only real highlights on Dynasty along with Ace Frehley's cover of The Stones "2000 Man", there are two other good songs, namely,Ace Frehley's "Hard Times", along with Peter Criss' "Dirty Livin'". the rest of the album is really quite forgettable.
Paul Stanley was always the most talented one of the group and this shows on most of their albums.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: x-ray eyes
best track: 2000 man
