I think THE ELDER's reputation has grown over the years. When it first came out in 1981 it was definitely a BIG departure for KISS because it sounded nothing like the previous records; besides, by that time KISS was on a downhill slide anyway (UNMASKED, the previous album, had also tanked), so it was mostly ignored/written off at the time. However, it's developed a cult following since then (I include myself in that cult; I didn't like the album much when I first heard it back in the early 80s but it's grown on me since.). Gene and Paul have said in the past that they feel THE ELDER was a good album, but it probably shouldn't have been released with the KISS name on it. If nothing else it's a cool experimental piece that showed KISS "thinking outside the box" a little. |

| The album "Crazy Nights" was so bad to me when I was a 16 year old, that I never listened to the 2nd side of the tape. Maybe it was because I was getting into heavier stuff at the time, but it was only two years earlier that I played "Asylum" non stop. I still don't think I've ever listened to what would be the 2nd side of this album. For s***s and giggles, I thought it would be cool to actually pick this up somewhere, but no dice yet. |

| Had to go with Hot In The Shade here. One of the most boring filler full albums Ive ever heard, I like maybe 1 or 2 songs from the whole album. I may like Carnival Of Souls less, but its been a long time since Ive heard it. On the other hand though, Im glad to see no ones voted for The Elder. I like alot of Kiss songs, but I think they only hit a shining moment of perfection 2 maybe 3 times album wise, and The Elder was one of them. |

| I went with " Hot in the Shade" I just thought like deathcult it was full of filler songs and it just seemed to be directionless. I actually like "Psycho Circus" not their best album, but probably the best one they could have made at that point in their careers. I also love " Carnival of Souls' the most mature song writing from KISS boys and Bruce Kulick had a big hand in the creation of these songs, KISS's answer to Alice In Chains I suppose. I used to hate " Crazy Nights" but it has grown on me and I actually like it, despite the cheese ball keyboard pop sound that dominates the album. |

| Psycho Circus and mainly because it was supposed to be the comeback album from Ace,Paul,Gene, and Peter but I found out most of Ace's and Peter's parts were recorded by session musicians and Finally Found My Way sucks!!!!!! |

I agree! A little too slick production. |

| I like them all, I guess if I had to choose my least favorite it would be Unmasked, but I liked several songs off of it too. I have been a die hard KISS fan since the very early days of KISS so I am pretty biased in my views. |

| I am a KISS fan. But I don't think there is a single "great" KISS album. The band, for all the pomp and circumstance surrounding them, never made a definitive studio album. There has always been filler in every one of them, IMO. The closest "Must have" album from them is KISS "Alive". So to answer this question, the one with the most filler and almost no killer is hands down "Hot In The Shade". _________________ "Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion.

| I just got Psycho Circus today, and I think it's a great album! The only songs I don't much care for are "We are one" and "I Finally Found My Way". The rest I think is darned good. |
