Kiss - Unmasked

[heaven&hell]

Yea ok I agree, Unmasked is not Kiss's finest album,. not by a LONG shot.... But, it WAS the very first album I ever heard by Kiss, SO it's got a special place in My metal heart....*S*

 

 

If this album has anyplace in your heart than your heart really isn't that METAL.

 

 

 

 

Man, I haven't slapped anybody today but I can feel it comin on

 

 

Let's keep in mind Wes, at least I am not jamming to Winger's brilliant album "IV" and you make fun of me bro? Unmasked is not my favorite Kiss album, but I do really like it. To be honest, I can't really say I totally dislike any of their albums though. Just a big 'ol Kiss fan I guess

Winger IV is much much heavier than Unmasked.

For the record I've never said I hated this album, it's just one of my least favorite Kiss albums, hell I even give a spin every once in a while.

They've released 18 studio albums and I love almost every single one of them but there are a few that I just don't like as much as the rest.

 

One more point: When was I making fun of you Jarred?

Oh come on now Wes..all the Unmasked swipes you have been taking at me... It's all good though...one brother to another

To a certain extent, I largely agree... until shouting/growling vocals are involved, that is.

You must have never heard Songs From the Elder....

I think the Elder is a tad better than this...both are pretty lame....

It was the first KISS record you ever heard?? And yet you liked them anyway??

 

Well yea?? Cause My next Kiss album I THINK was "Lick it Up" Then I got into the older stuff, like "Destroyer" And the rest is history..*G*

Sure the Elder wasn't a great Kiss album but at least it had some "balls" to it.

Songs like "I", "Only You", "Dark Light", "The Oath", "Mr. Blackwell" and the killer instrumental "Escape from the Island" were all kick ass songs.

"A Darrrrrrk Light is SHINING AT YOU!"

I love that song.

Me too. Actually the only good things about Dyansty and Unmasked was that Space Ace got to sing 6 songs between the two albums.

"I" is the only song that is memorable to me. I remember trying to give this one several listens when I first got it, and it never appealed to me. Don't know if I can force myself to listen again.....

[Rafo Phoenix]

Is That You?

[Dead Planet]

I actually like this release and my pick is "Is That You"......no it's not my fav release by these guys...

[Clutch]

In all actuality this isn't really a KISS album...Peter doesn't play a

single thing on it, Paul plays most of the guitar except for the parts Bob

Kulick Plays..Ace plays only on His song(s)..Gene only sings...All Bass

was Paul or somebody else...The Book KISS Behind the Mask

is a Great way to find out who played what..It's like "The Dirt" in Many

ways...as the Band discusses every album and every track In great detail...

 

It is a great book. A friend told me about it and I grabbed it quickly.

[Clutch]

Oh yeah, Naked City.

[aMetalhead1966]

For Me the first 4 KISS albums are killer...then some filler... I still

love Alive II...This "UNMASKED" sucks...IMO...Freddy I got yo Back!!

 

I knew I could count on ya Metalhead!

I still hate this release...I Do Like ACE's "Talk To Me" though....

The thing I enjoyed most, I'm actually reading it again right now, is the fact that it really is music based as opposed to just the band members lives. Half the time I end up disliking the group because I find out what a fuckhead someone was. Keeping with the music and stories surrounding the songs I find much more appealing.

I still chuckle whenever this thread gets bumped and I see UNMASKED referred to as a "Masterpiece"

A Master-piece of junk maybe.

 

I'm glad I was only 6 years old when this came out because if I would of been an actual fan of this band and heard this after the great stuff they did from 74-77, I would of been pissed.
