Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rushed into production to capitalize on relentless touring, KISS's sophomore effort suffers from notoriously muddy, lo-fi recording quality but boasts some of their darkest, heaviest songwriting. The album embraces their kabuki-glam image entirely while delivering incredibly raw, Sabbath-influenced hard rock riffing.
