Revenge (1992)Kiss obviously didn't have it in for their fans. This is the group's most horrible and tasteless album yet (though barely). That's amazing considering their standard. Overall Album Score: 3.4 out of 10 Average Song Score: 4.1

tisantana@hotmail.com (tiago) received Dec. 24, 2004 Yeah boy! When i saw that reviews about all the kiss albums i nearly cried.... u know why? COZ UR DAMN RIGHT! I was so happy to know that someone thinks like me in this world, that i nearly cried hehe.... From all the big bands in the world, Kiss r the most: fake, ridiculous, untallented, commercial, with horrible vocals(come on, is Gene Simmons a real singer??), awful musicians (Paul Stanley doesnt even know how to play some chords, as it happens with Mr. Simmons and Peter Criss.... ), etc.... I can prove it with the 4 solo albums that were released back in 1978.... they invited a lot of musicians to play the songs... gene simmons didnt even play the bass on his album!!!!! When I think that a band like that, with so much over pretention, got so much success around the world.... it makes me think: God exists? Tiago P.s.: I´m a "art, intellectual, concept" rock fan too... my favorite bands r: Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, David Byrne, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer.... etc. KISS@ruleZeverywhere.com received Dec. 27, 2004 He Don Angovis, its always very easy to give shit to a band you dont like & we all have our own likes & dislikes i can say a million crap about your favorite list but i wont(but can!!!)because i have no need too(whats the point you are trying to make?anyway?)maybe you were bored or something pickin your nose or doing drugs & listening to queen/abba allday i can understand it or even worse the pixies,what a hippies. maybe you wanted to upset somebody (well try again), or you think i am i coulnt care less, this is my comment.
