Free Music Notes for Kiss - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: ****1/2 - a terrific place to start
Hit: 5 Stars
Or to end up, perhaps, if you just want one Kiss disc in your collection. But be vewy careful...I'm hunting wabbits! No, that wasn't it. But make sure you get the 20-track import version; it deletes one or two mediocre songs from the 16-track US edition, adding Kiss classics like "Love Gun" and "God Of Thunder" instead.
This 76-minute compilation brings together 20 songs representing Kiss' entire (pre-1998 "reunion") career. And it's not "pop go Kiss"; "Greatest Kiss" is a balanced mix of the band's trademark pop metal and genuine hard rock. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons had a knack for pairing big hooks with big riffs, as is evident on songs like "Strutter", "Deuce", and the classic "Detroit Rock City".
Simmons roars like the demon he used to be on the awesome heavy metal stomper "God Of Thunder", and how can you not love a big, dumb shout-along rocker like "Shout It Out Loud" or "Do You Love Me"? The melodic "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You" was an MTV hit in the early 90s, and Gene Simmons' lewd "Plaster Caster" about a groupie who used to make, well, plaster casts, is one of his best and wittiest songs.
A couple of these reviews were obviously written about the lesser US version of this album...there is no "Flaming Youth" here, thank goodness, and as far as this being "rehashing", yes, well compilation albums aren't really made for those fans who already own the material, are they?
Kiss' three "Alive" albums remain the best way to hear almost all of their best songs, but this is a very good collection in its own right.
Kiss - Greatest Hits Poster
EU version features a unique track listing over the UK and Japanese editions. 20 Tracks Including Plaster Caster, I Want You, Shout It Out Loud (96 Version), Calling Dr. Love, And Others.With Kiss back on the road in full makeup and with their original lineup, 1997 proved to be the perfect time to revisit the band's rich history of fist-pounding pop-metal and sweeping power balladry. Greatest Kiss hits all the highlights of a career that by this time spanned a quarter century--"Deuce," "Strutter," "Rock and Roll All Night," "Do You Love Me," "Beth," and "Calling Dr. Love." A few curiosities appear as well, such as "Sure Know Something" and "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (they're far more disco-oriented than you might remember) and a newly recorded version of "Shout It Out Loud" taken from their 1996 tour. Clocking in at 16 tracks, it's a comprehensive hits collection. --Daniel Durchholz
