Poncia elicits strong vocal performances from the band, heavily filters and treats the lead guitar, and lends a pop sheen to the material. The album yields the disco influenced hit song "I Was Made For Lovin' You" which exposes the band to a new audience while alienating some die hard fans.

Guitarist Bob Kulick's on point lead work elevates the material that lyrically dwells on the pain of separation and frustrated romantic love. Using Ebows, synths, piano and background singers as tasty accents and flourishes Stanley produces an album that combines influences from bands like The Rolling Stones, The Raspberries, & Led Zeppelin with nods to classical music & rhythm and blues, and features his first true ballad.

Frehley experiments with a backwards solo, guitar synth, double tracked drums and other outside the box recording techniques to produce a self-assured and focused album that mixes elements of heavy metal, funk, power pop, and prog rock. His album outsells his band mates' solo efforts and yields a hit cover of Hello's "New York Groove."

Rock Album AnalystsRock Album Analysts 8: KISS ALIVE 2At the peak of their career KISS capture the over the top energy of their live performance with producer Eddie Kramer while providing five new studio cuts that offer a promising new direction but rely heavily on at least one outside musician to get there. While arguably less "live" than their previous live record (at least 3 cuts were recorded during sound checks & there are extensive overdubs), Kramer's creative use of overdubbed cannons, looped crowd noise, and strategic editing of Paul Stanley's vocal patter help to seamlessly create a KISS concert that never actually was, but ought to have been.2020-10-191h 55Rock Album AnalystsRock Album Analysts Episode 7: Love GunBANG!

With Ebows, keyboards, & backup singers KISS marry the immediacy of Rock and Roll Over with a touch of the production sheen of Destroyer. In three weeks the band captures such signature songs as Ace's vocal debut "Shock Me," and the concert staple title track!

KISS team up with Eddie Kramer and record in a theater to capture a live feel for their 5th Studio Album. Taking a left turn from the lavish production of Destroyer, a stripped down meat and potatoes approach gives most of the songs a powerful immediacy, but does it leave some feeling disposable?
