What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

KISS "revenge" cd,1992.

16th studio album from KISS, and their closest effort at being 'hard rock',hats why its here and not in the rock threads.
also the last album they made prior to putting back on the makeup.
thier biggest seller outside the US, selling some 4 million copies worldwide....and justified IMO.
Paul always writes and sings good rock songs...always has,always will...but this time Gene has written the strongest tracks he ever did...including "domino","thou shalt not" and "unholy", all of which get full marks here from me.
album also includes the anthemic rock number "god gave rock n roll to you II", staple of their live shows over the last twenty years.
drummer Eric Carr died from heart complications on the operating table just prior to this and Eric Singer takes on "the sticks" job here and has remained doing so ever since.
final track on here is called "carr jam 1981"...its an old Carr drum solo thing that Gene and Paul discovered during their research for their "kisstory" archives series and recorded in 1981, and put on here as a final tribute to Eric Carr, and thats the only value of it IMO, i guess drummers would appreciate it, but hearing a load of drumming means nothing to the average guy in the street.
the rating for this one didnt come out as high as i expected, but a good album nevertheless,and the first real KISS album i really liked after 1982's "the elder".
