Free Music Notes for Creatures of the Night
Free Music Review: Although lacking Ace and Peter, it's my favorite
Hit: 5 Stars
First, I usually don't pick favorites in bands, but, for me, it's hard not to favor Ace Frehley. Peter Criss is probably my second favorite although most people despise him for his solo effort; I feel that he is one of the best jazz drummers to be in a rock band, but having studied with Gene Krupa probably helps. The truth about Ace and Peter is that the two of them care most about the music, while Gene and Paul seem to care most about the audience (and maybe also the money).
Peter Criss was voted out of KISS after Unmasked, which he didn't do any recording on, and before that, he only played on one track from the album before that, Dynasty. Criss was replaced by Paul Caravello, who became known as Eric Carr. They recorded Music from "The Elder," which was their first and only album for the critics. Those three albums had been moving them away from the rock and roll style that KISS were so famous for. Right before recording what would become Creatures of the Night, Ace Frehley decided to leave.
The other members of KISS, hoping that Ace might change his mind, had Steve Farris, Adam Mitchell, Bob Kulick (who almost was the lead guitarist before Ace joined), and the legendary Robben Ford filling his shoes for tracks. When they realized that Ace wouldn't change his mind, they found Vincent Cusano, who would soon become known as Vinnie Vincent, take his place for the rest of the recording process.
This album is actually my favorite KISS album. As a line-up, I prefer the original line-up. However, with their six studio albums as a band, and two live albums, they had more than enough TOTAL AWESOMENESS. It's not that much better than Love Gun and Alive!, probably my two favorite original line-up albums.
Vinnie Vincent didn't get much of a chance to express himself in his way, like he did with the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, but the guitar solo he did for "War Machine" is truly Vinnie. I think that the members of KISS wanted to try to hide the fact that Ace was gone, so they had these other guitarists try to imitate him. However, they failed to bring in that Ace Frehley style, but what they brought in, I feel, works much better for the songs.
Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have their heaviest songs written on this album. Even the power-ballad, "I Still Love You" is heavy. This album also, I feel, tops the energy of Alive!, Alive II, and even their new live albums. Every single track is incredible, which is what makes this album so great. This review should really just be one sentence...
THIS ALBUM IS A HARD ROCKIN' ALBUM THAT IS SURE TO BLAST YOUR SPEAKERS!!!
