After revisiting Crazy Nights awhile back it's ok. The production was way too slick. There's nothing more cringe worthy than those 2 new tracks on Smashes,Thrashes and Hits. Those two songs make me wanna hurl every time I hear one of them.

Danse Macabre (Box Set)- Celtic Frost
I See The Ruins (Box Set)- Warlock

I gave Crazy Nights a couple of listens simply to justify the purchase and I still think it sucks. Like you said, it's too slick, but even if it wasn't too slick, the songs simply aren't that good. The only one that's passable is "Thief in the Night," though I prefer the version of it that Gene produced for Wendy O. Williams on her "W.O.W." three years earlier.

So that CD is just gonna rot on my shelf from now on, but hey, at least I can say my KISS collection is complete.

I agree w/you on the two "new" songs on Smashes... too. They're both God-awful. Now I remember why I was AWOL from the KISS Army during that period!

John Garcia And The Band Of Gold - S/T
Nails - Every Bridge Burning

Crazy Nights did make me AWOL from the KISS Army for a while, too. I wouldn't buy anything from them for a period of time . KISS had become followers instead of leaders at this point in their career.
