Another reluctant KISStorian, Ed is called upon abruptly to sound off on KISStory in what can only be described as a fruitful and telling ambush. A skeptic from the start, Ed graciously agrees to takes us back to '75 and his first knowledge of KISS via the then unescapable FM hit "Rock & Roll All Nite".

KISStorian BrothersROCK & ROLL OVER needle dropA late nite 'needle drop' on RRO, KISS's warmest and perhaps most faithful (and on-brand) studio offering, Eddie Kramer's diamond in the rough! A producer's job is to get the best out of a given band, and their material, at a given place in time, relevant to the market .and Kramer's delivered in spades. In fact, Kramer's sonic experiment on RRO captured KISS's raw live sound & vibe on a 'studio' release better than any album in their careers. KISStorian.com

From Simmon's "Seduction Of The Innocents", "Thou Shalt Not" and the semi-Biblical "On The 8th Day" to the Paul Stanley LIU vision statement that is "Exciter", RacerX masterfully breaks down the potentially deeper, more central meaning of KISS's lyrics from an entirely different yet profoundly relevant KISStoric perspective here-to-for unexplored in the annals of rock! - KISStorian.com2022-10-2731 min

By and large its a collection of fun rockers that takes itself a little less seriously, and lies in stark contrast, to their prior release, the 80's-glossed "Crazy Nights". Soon it would all be a mute point as the onset of grunge would send KISS on a fools errand resulting in gloriously heavy but ill-conceived "Carnival of Souls". Indeed, HITS finds KISS on a low budget, trimming sails, vamping up demos and polishing the ballad "Forever" enough to ensure an MTV hit video and a summer tour of the...2021-10-1017 min
