My how the mighty have fallen. Just a few short years earlier, KISS was on top of the world. But after 3 back-to-back albums that strayed heavily from the tried and true KISS Rock and Roll formula, well, this just did not sit too well with a lot of their longtime fans. That, on top of the departure of drummer Peter Criss, and the lack of involvement from guitarist Ace Frehley, made things look even more bleak for Kiss's future. Enter, Creatures of the Night, a heavy rockin' album unlike anything that KISS had ever done before. A lot of fans have mixed feelings about this album, but I freely admit that I love it madly. Times change, people change, and KISS changed their style yet once again, but this time it was for the better. No more Disco songs, no more mushy Pop songs, just straight ahead hard rock/heavy metal. Even the ballad, I Still Love You, sung with amazing depth by Paul Stanley, had a harder edge to it than other KISS ballads in the past. This album was just the shot in the arm that KISS needed at that time, and it proved without a doubt that KISS was not over as a band, not by a longshot. With the help of drummer Eric Carr, lead guitarist Vinnie Vincent, and Bob Kulick, among others, KISS had triumphantly returned from the dead, loud and proud.

Standout tracks are, well, practically all of them, really, from the exciting opener Creatures of the Night, sung by Paul Stanley, to the awesome closer sung by Gene Simmons, War Machine.

As I type these words, KISS: Extreme Close Up is playing on TV. How fitting. Earlier today I listened to the very first album by them, simply titled KISS. What an amazing album! If you are throwing a party, this is the album that will get it started. The entire album is a scorcher from beginning to end, with nary a single weak song in it's midst. I have loved this album ever since I first listened to it in the seventies, and, amazingly, it still sounds just as good, if not better, today. The song Strutter starts the rock and roll rollercoaster with it's blistering guitar riffs and amazing vocals by Paul Stanley. Nothin' To Lose kicks in next, and cowbells never sounded cooler. In fact, as I relistened to my classic KISS albums, the cowbells really stood out to me like they had never done before. KISS drummer, the Catman, Peter Criss, really knew how to use the cowbell to it's full extent back in the day. Next up is Firehouse, which all KISS fans can pretty much agree is one of the band's best songs ever. After that comes Cold Gin, which will have you playing air guitar with it's amazing guitar riffs and solo. Let Me Know is another great song with another great guitar solo at the end. What stands out most in my mind about the next song, Kissin' Time, is the excellent drumwork performed by Peter Criss. Deuce is another strong classic song by KISS that leaves no doubt by this time on the album that KISS is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of Rock and Roll for a very long time to come. Up next is the Love Theme From KISS, which is an instrumental that has those amazing cowbells again to start things off. It's a short but sweet tune that helps mellow things out a little bit, but that is little more than the calm before the storm that is to come called 100,000 years. The opening bass line riff for 100,000 Years is one of the coolest I have ever heard, and the lyrics are some of the best on the album, "I'm sorry to have taken so long It must have been a bitch while I was gone You mind if I sit down for a while You'll reacquaint yourself with my style." The song also features more excellent drumming by Peter Criss. The last song on the album is titled Black Diamond, which is sung by Peter Criss, and he does a great job here too, proving he can sing as well as he can drum. It is an excellent end song to a perfect album. After listening to the album in it's entirety, I thought to myself, Wow, they really gave it their all on this album. An album like this would be tough to beat, how could anyone ever top this debut? But, as we all know, KISS did just that in later releases. At this point, KISS was just getting warmed up.
