Free Music Notes for IKONS [4 CD Set]
Free Music Review: As Good A Place To Start As Any
Hit: 3 Stars
An excellent compilation for those who may be delving into the band's career for the first time, the original members - Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley - are each given 14 tracks, with some solo work tossed into the mix.
But without unreleased or alternative versions of songs, the 4-CD set veers drastically away from being an essential purchase by longtime fans. Ultimately, it does not enhance or detract from the band's amazing legacy, but is one of those "just in time for the holidays" releases that has been a record industry gimmick for many years.
Free Music Review: I want everything froma KISS
Hit: 3 Stars
Well, do we really need this ? For sure, that's a beautiful package, and as far as there's nothing new for years, like each and everytime there's this kind of compilation, I buy it just to heve the feeling to buy a new KISS record. Il you're not a die hard fan, you won't be interested, but if you're one you'll buy it just to have the satisfaction to have each and every record by your favorite nand : I'll name KISS.Free Music Review: Close but....
Hit: 2 Stars
I looked at the track listing on this at Borders the other day and thought, "Oh yes! A great compilation!" And it is great, but there is one glaring omission: The song "Sure Know Something" from Dynasty. This of course is a "Paul" song and without doubt should be included. The song itself is, to me, one of his very best, if not the band's in general. So...I just can't justify buying this without it. Call me silly, but I feel it's a no-brainer.Free Music Review: Cheap, cheap packaging.
Hit: 2 Stars
Dont be fooled by the pretty picture and the hype about silver foiled logos etc etc. While the track listing is perhaps the best of any Kiss compilation so far, this release is cheap beyond belief. Nothing more than a flimsy cardboard slipcase over a basic foldout digipak. While others are releasing quality boxsets (Sabbath's 'Rules of Hell', Scorpions 'Box Of Scorpions' to name but two), this set is woefully inadequate. Shame.Free Music Review: Where is the Eric Singer And Tommy Thayer Disc? That must be on Icons II
Hit: 2 Stars
Good track listing, Could have squeezed more songs on each volume. I guess Gene and Paul weren't considered Icons after 1980 according to this set. maybe the second set could have Tommy and Eric covering all Ace and Peter tunes. Save your money(Gene and Paul Don't need it!they're too buzy playing in a KISS KOVER BAND) and make your own mix it will be better!
