| OK, seems even the most devout Kiss maniacs seem to have one album they don't like. Which do you think is the worst Kiss album? I tried to only pick the albums that I hear the most complaints about from fans. If it's not listed, let us know which you pick and why. |

| Personally I went with "Crazy Nights", although I do like the title track and a few others. There really isn't a KISS album I hate, but this is probably the one I listen to the least. Might have been a better album had it not been produced by Ron Nevison. _________________  |

| I went with Hot in the Shade. While it's not "bad", there just aren't many memorable or catchy songs on it. |

| I have to go with "other". I think Unmasked is their worst. The songs on there are pretty weak although it does have the cool Ace tune ,Two Sides of the Coin. |

| Why did you put Psycho Circus? It's a great album...I mean i'm not alone to think about that...No? I love every KISS album but my less favorite is Crazy Night. |

I like Psycho Circus, but it's an album I see a lot of fans saying they don't like.
My favorites on that CD are "Psycho Circus", "Into the Void" and "Raise You Glasses". |

| I went with Hot In The Shade. Crazy Nights in close second. In fact, I only own Crazy Nights on tape, so it's been ages since I listened to it, unlike Hot In The Shade which I own on CD. So I may very well dislike Crazy Nights more, only I can't remember. Haha. |

Yeah Into The Void is a kind of Shock Me. I love Hot In The Shade. Just listen to Little Caesar. |

| I freaking HATE Crazy Nights with a passion. It's the only KISS studio album I don't own on either cassette or CD, and even though I'm a completist in most respects, I probably never will either!! Hot In The Shade is no great shakes either but CRAZY NIGHTS was just a little bit worse!! |

No. I love Asylum. It's one of my favorites albums from any era of Kiss, and it's a Bruce-era album. |

| Psycho Circus isn't KISS' worst album but it was still a disappointment to me. There are four tracks I really like (title track, "You Wanted The Best," "Within," "Into The Void") and the rest is just filler, filler, filler. Peter's ballad "I Finally Found My Way" is just embarrassing. |

You didn't like "Raise Your Glasses"? I thought that was cool, melodic song.
At the same time I thought "You Wanted the Best" sounded a bit forced, if that makes sense. |

Agreed on the ballad. Shouldn't have even been included. I like the rest though. |

They were obviously looking for the big smash hit, like Aerosmith had recently had with "Don't Want to Miss A Thing".
Shoot, they even used the same song writer for "Nothing Can Keep Me from You", a song originally slated for the CD, but put on the Detroit Rock City soundtrack instead. I guess they figured if Aerosmith can have a hit with a Diane Warren ballad on a soundtrack, they can do the same.

Nah, I didn't dig that one at all. I thought the chorus was kind of annoying. (Not to mention it seemed kinda silly for them to be singing "Raise Your Glasses" when neither Paul or Gene drink...although now that I think about it, Ace and Peter probably have probably drank more than enough to cover those two, haha)

I think Nothing Can Keep Me From You is the better of the 2 tracks and would rather it had been on Psycho Circus. Also, didn't they collaborate with Diane Warren on another song or two ? I seem to think so but can't remember which one's if any (I don't have any cds here for me to check) |

| Will KISS do another album? It could be cool. I mean the compilations suck. I have KISS gold and that's the only one that I need. Just do another album or just do some box set with all the CD in like The Original, The Original II(Japan) and Double Platinum Box set (Japan). |

| Yeah Eddie Trunk , one of his friend, saw Ace in the studios. He's saying that this album will be the most KISS-like that any member have done in solo. _________________  |

| I didn't care for Psycho Circus at first. And it was only my 2nd KISS album (the first being Alive II). Even after getting more into KISS, I still felt it was pretty average. But upon listening to it in later years, that album really rocks. I wouldn't say it's a classic, but it's defnitely very good. The only problem I still have with it is that it's pretty much a salute from KISS to KISS. I would've rathered they just done a KISS album instead of an album about KISS. But that's nitpicking because the songs are solid. By the way, 'I Finally Found My Way' is indeed cheesey, but I think it compliments 'Beth' well (which is obviously what they were trying to do... Beth Part 2). |

| Crazy Nights. There are a couple of good songs on there; I really like "I'll Fight Hell to Hold You." I LOVE The Elder! Has anyone read all the notes in the Kissology 2 booklet? Check out what Paul says about MFTE: Gene: To this day, we get e-mails that say, "You guys should do an all-Elder show. Do a whole tour, and just play The Elder from beginning to end, because it's such a classic." Paul: And we always write back to the hospital and tell the people that we hope they get better. I'm glad they have a sense of humor about it -- but I DO think it's a very cool album! |
