CREATURES OF THE NIGHT(1982).KISS' eleventh(studio)album.
By the time it was 1982,even though KISS had been the biggest band of the late 70's,things had not been going to well for them lately. After Peter Criss had been fired from the group and Eric Carr(RIP)had taken over for Criss,KISS' 'Music From The Elder' concept record and their 'Killers' compilation had both not faired well,and Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley wanted to get themselves away from their concept record,which had turned a lot of people against them. How would the new KISS record,an attempt for the band to reinvent themselves and get away from the corny image they had given themselves after 'Music From The Elder' meausure up? Read on for my review of this:
This record has proven to be one of KISS' best albums--and definitely one of their most underrated albums also. When this CD came out,not only had Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley been trying to get away from all of the crap they had been getting lately(which was due to firing Peter Criss and the following KISS records:DYNASTY,UNMASKED,MUSIC FROM THE ELDER,and KILLERS)but they had been having a lot of trouble with Ace Frehley. As already mentioned above,even though Frehley's face is on the cover of this album,Ace himself is nowhere to be found on here--the only reason why Ace's face is on this album cover is because he had not officialy left KISS when this album came out,and Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley needed sort of needed the Spaceman's face on the cover of their new album(and again,there are a bunch of different guitarists on this CD). The album itself? Read on for my review of this and you will get a rundown of every song on here:
CREAUTURES OF THE NIGHT:WOW!!!! What a great way to open an album. Eric Carr's drumming welcomes this song in a strong,harsh,and absolutely brilliant way,and after Carr's excellent drum intro and the loud and heavy guitar on this track(Steve Farris is the guy who is playing drums on this track)have begun,Paul Stanley's lead vocals....which are some of Paul's best vocals ever...do a brilliant job at taking on the rest of this track. This song is heavy and great filler from top to bottom. 10/10
SAINT AND SINNER:Wasn't strong enough to be a hit or a single(and it wasn't)but still a really good track. It is really catchy and has a really good hook to it,and the fact that Gene Simmons wrote and sang this song and the other fact that this song has the lyrics "Without You,it's Aces high" should tell you all you need to know about this song.9/10
KEEP ME COMIN':The heavier sequel to CALLING DR. LOVE.10/10
ROCK AND ROLL HELL:Written by Gene Simmons,Bryan Adams,and Jim Vallance and sung by Gene,this song tells the story of a rock star in sort of a hell for rock stars only who wants to get out. Far fetched,a little bit of a stretch,but still a really good track that shows the heavy metal edge Bryan Adams used and applied in his songwriting before he became famous. 7.25/10
DANGER:A suspenseful track that has really strong and worried lyrics and music to it,and a track that also has the words "I'm going insane and I like it" written all over it. Need I say more? 10/10
I LOVE IT LOUD:The best track on this whole album(in my opinion)and the guitar playing on this track(which was played by Vinnie Vincent)and Eric Carr's awesome drumming are the highlights of the show here. One of KISS' best songs that is real fun to play LOUD!!!!!!!! 9/10
I STILL LOVE YOU:A heavy ballad that has love and heavy metal written all over it. Sung from the point of view of a guy who has upset his girlfriend and still loves her...when Paul Stanley sings this song,he sings it with a lot of care and concern,and his vocals sort of the bring this song to life. And we thought that Paul and Vinnie Vincent(who helped Paul write this song)didn't have hearts. 10/10
KILLER:A quite intersting song about a female killer...quite intersting and really good though,and maybe a little bit of what you would call a "mind" song. 8/10
WAR MACHINE:A really good song,and a very succesful way to close an album. Another collaboration between Gene Simmons,Bryan Adams,and Jim Vallance,and it is killer heavy from top to bottom--Gene Simmons' vocals and the guitar on this track(which I believe was played by Vinnie Vincent)shred on this track.
There you have it all. If you buy this expecting a sequel to DESTROYER,ROCK AND ROLL OVER,and/or LOVE GUN,then you probably won't like this CD....however,if you buy this CD knowing everything you need to know about it,then you will be blown away by this album.
