Carnival Of Souls is their worst by far! I actually LOVE Hot In The Shade and Crazy Nights and really like Psycho Circus.

Someone actually like HITS?

I completely disagree I personally love 'Carnival of Souls', I think it is an excellent and very underrated KISS album, where I still do not care for 'Hot in the Shade'.

Carnival Of Souls is completely unlistenable and unmemorable, IMO. NO HITS whatsoever from that album, while HITS had their ONLY #1 HIT-FOREVER! Hot In The Shade is MILES(and a WHOLE lot of album sales) AHEAD of CoS!

Of course... because we all know that album sales are the true measuring stick of how good an album is ....

Well, album sales are FACTS and not just opinion-based musings, as well-intentioned as those may be. If KISS hadn't sold millions of records over the decades, we wouldn't be discussing them right now. At least I know I wouldn't be.

All I'm sayin' is that by using that logic, then Britney Spears, Hannah Montana, etc. must be the most gifted artists EVER, yanno wut um sayin'?

LOL!!!
FYI - Forever was not a # 1 hit - it only hit # 8.

Well, go to the complete KISS discography thread (under the complete works) and make your thoughts known! Today is HITS, which I slammed pretty hard!

You might be still discussing them, God knows how many bands we have all discussed that have not sold even close to a million.

I picked Carnival of Souls, but my vote would more go to Sonic Boom.

wut?

*bump*

The worst album without the paint is without a doubt Animalize, what a turt on vinyl... Gene wins for writing the worst tune in music history: Burn smurfette Burn a.o.

And that Shrapnel guitarist St.John didn't do it for me either with his shredding.

Weak songs, irritating solo's and also by far the worst albumcover.

If they would have released it as a 7" with the songs "I've Had Enough (Into the Fire)" & "Under the Gun" it would be Kiss finest moment on 7".

No way ! Crazy Nights is by far the weakest of the non make-up years. I guess I'm in the minority on this one but Animalize is great !

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.

I am TOTALLY surprised that Carnival of Souls had less votes than Pyscho Circus I thought all of you would trash this album heavily but hey I personally like the album

I think Carnival of Souls kicks ass, like Schobo stated its like KISS In Chains, KISSGarden, KISSJAM, etc etc

I like CoS - some good songs one it - Master & Slave rules!!!!
