| Modern KISS at their best, before they went too damn commercial with Asylum and Crazy Nights. This cd and Animalize were the best of the 80's stuff they did

| In my opinion, the last KISS album that rocked. They were still hungry to prove themselves on this album. Creatures was not a commercial success so they poured their rock n' roll guts into this. Gene is the "Demon" in "Not for the Innocent","Young and Wasted" and "Fits Like a Glove". A recommended buy for the KISS and Heavy Metal fans.

| A great first step for the non-make up KISS. Vinnie Vincent's playing is incomparable and after listening to his solo stuff I definately say he's the best American guitarist of the decade. Together with Paul they made songs like "Exciter" or "A Million To One" sound like anthems.

| Gene & Paul will hate this but Vinnie Vincent saved their ASSES on this album. Great comeback album and excellent follow-up to "Creatures". Once again just like "Creatures" more "metal" than Kiss has ever been. This time period for Kiss is just so underrated to me because I firmly believe there wouldn't have ever been a reunion tour in 96' if not for this album and the previous one because nobody would have CARED in the nineties!!! Great 80's hard rock album.

| He recorded under his real name of Vincent Cusano. The album isn't great, but ok. I've had it for a long time. It's nice to buy things for cheap when someone doesn't know what they have. I got mine at a garage sale for .50 cents.

| Unbelievable that an album with this much power wasn't played more on radio. This was a great album that will never get enough praise. Unfortunately we see Ace gone for good here and Gene off becoming a movie star. This shows up in the record. Don't misunderstand, I thought Vinnie was great here, but doomed to failure due to the BIG shoes he stepped into. You cannot claim to be a Kiss fan and not own this album. Unfortunately Vinnie doesn't last...Cue Da Bruce!!

| Eric Carr's hard hitting style & sound paved the way for Kiss' 80's metal sound/scene sans the make-up (the white & black, anyway!). Does not much matter who played lead woth Paul's songwriting prowess. Had Gene not diverted into other interests, Kiss may have followed Creatures & Lick it Up with equally strong performances! Stanley carried this band largely in the 80's. Great to see Gene pick up the ball on classics like hot in the shade, revenge & carnival of souls! Class act!- rock epitomized

| One of kiss best and heaviest album. Hey,I think MICHAEL JACKSON and Kiss work pretty well together even through michael isn't really a hard rock/metal artist. This album is way better and heavier than unmasked.Rating:9.5/10

| I think this album is overrated. At the time, people were thrilled that KISS was putting the focus on the music before the image. They had a string of lackluster albums(not including "Creatures of the Night") so this being a decent one seemed to be much better than it actually was. It's really just an average album. They've done much worse, but this doesn't come close to being their best.
|
| From: jack |
Date: June 24, 2004 at 5:03 |
| I understand KISS putting music before image at that time but don't they always?Most people(especially the teenager) might be more absorbed by the image of the 70's kiss but i have always been inspired(don't know why) and attrated to their music much more. Well,to add more twist to the kiss saga,maybe kiss also made it big with this album because of their 'image'(the unmasking of their makeup etc that made all the fans so fascinated).
|
| From: jack |
Date: June 24, 2004 at 5:05 |

| Quite honestly I had this record but it was the least listened to record. I thought the music had an edgy attitude but one of the stupidest lyricaly. Listening to Gimme More I just hated. The mentality of the song and record just didn't work for me. The only songs I didn't mind were All Hells..And on the 8th day.

| Not a bad a album but perhaps alittle over rated as far as their 80's albums go. "Million to One" is however , one of there best ever songs, its catchy and powerful. The album has a good vibe but is alittle too slow at times.

| Ah everybody thinks they know shit. Warren DeMartini NEVER played with Kiss, but alas everybody thinks Vinnie played everything on this album. Not so, kiddies. At least 2 of the songs are handled by none other than Rick Derringer and at least 2 others are being handled by Steve F. Can't remember his last name off the top of my head. But he is the guy that if you all paid attention to your Kiss history was the guy who plays on most of Creatures and had a contract to join the band. L.I.U. is #1.

| Vinnie Vincent does add a dimension to KISS that had been lacking. His playing is very good and makes this one hell of a rocking album. The title track everyone knows but "Dance All Over Your Face", "Not For The Innocent", "All Hell's Breaking Loose" and "Fits Like A Glove" showcase a harder, more raw KISS than ever before.

| Excelente album,Kiss se endureció con un sonido más hard rock y fue el primero sin sus maquillajes,evolucionó para bien con sonido más directo y entrado en los 80´s,temazos como Exciter,Lick it up,All hell´s breaking loose poseen "esa" fuerza que los hace incomparables y la power ballad A million to one(mi favorita)grandiosos riffs con esa voz sin igual de Paul Stanley,grandes solos por Vinnie Vincent que de paso fué su último albúm con ellos,uno de sus mejores discos junto con Crazy nights,9/10

| The first non-makeup KISS record and a good follow up to "Creatures Of The Night". Some great tunes like "Exciter" (this song really rocks!!!!) "A Million To One" (brilliant), "Not For The Innocent", and "Young And Wasted". Highly recommendable.

| vinnie vincent collaborated beautifully with paul and gene on here a fine album where kiss took off the make up and made it all about the music picks up where creatures left off from beginning to end exciter rocks also love not for the innocent,all hell's breaking loose a million to one dance all over your face and on the 8th day but it was the title track that made this really memerable and put kiss back in the big leagues again lick it up still sounds great today one of my favourites

| The best non-makeup lp of KISS for me. As stated above, a continuation of where Creatures Of The Night left off. Great lp for all KISS fans! The Japanese pressing of the lp cover is a cover of the then current band in the makeup.

| This is about half filler for me. Exciter is just dull and lifeless; Not for the Innocent is listenable but hardly stand-out for me; Lick It Up is monotonous but I find myself coming back to this one so I'd say this is a winner; Young and Wasted is listenable, just; All Hell's Breakin' Loose is a winner and Stanley's vocals are almost rap at the start; A Million To One is a decent enough semi-ballad and I don't mind it at all. The last one I can remember from this album is On the 8th Day which is a standard Gene-sung rocker; I can take it or leave it. Average hard rock fare.

A heavier album that the common releases of the band...saw them live on the Tour of this one with Helix as the opening act in Lisbon-Portugal.My fave tracks are 1,3(hit single),4,5,6 & 8...some comments above are not good at all towards it but in my case i think it's quite a decent record with good songs in it.85/100
