Hotter Than Hell [Limited] [Remaster] by Kiss

Pros: Nice production, great songs for the most part
Cons: Goin' Blind is just dumb

With the exception of KISS's second release, Hotter Than Hell, their first six studio albums lacked the power and dynamics of their live performances of these same songs. Yet, like I said - the exception is Hotter Than Hell. The ...

Pros: Killer guitar work, some overlooked gems.
Cons: Who wrote these lyrics? A baboon? Several weak numbers.

It is time for me to come out of the closet. I have been writing epinions for well over a year without penning a single Kiss review and that just has to change. I was a huge Kiss fan when I was three and from ages eight to twelve (or somewhere th ...

Pros: There was still a reason to like these guys back in 1974. Slight menace, heaviness.
Cons: So slow I used to think the record player was giving out.

If KISS’ first album was a repackaging of The Stones, then their sophomore release, Hotter Than Hell, moved them nearly into Sabbath’s territory. The sexual swagger was still present, but this time around found them slowing things WAY down ...

Pros: Side A
Cons: Side B

Sophomore albums are hard tasks. Especially if your debut - as KISS' - was the stuff of legend. But more than following a legend, KISS had to follow what didn't follow from the legend.In spite of the excellence and the visionary aspects that ...

Pros: Good-time, hard rock that's a thrill
Cons: Too short

I once had a friend who hated Kiss. I asked him why and he explained that he had a traumatic run-in with someone in elementary school about Kiss. Specifically, he was told by a young thug that Kiss was bigger than the Beatles. Such a thing was impossible...

Pros: Excellent guitar work. In-your-face sound and attitude.Many good songs.
Cons: A couple bad songs. Bad production. Too short.

Hotter Than Hell. Hmmm...sounds like a pretty promising title, considering the album really is "hotter than hell." For the most part, the album lives up to its title. I bought this CD because I was a really big KISS fan at the time; I loved their ...

Pros: Captures the raw, young sound of the band
Cons: At 33 minutes, it's really a short CD.

Hotter Than Hell pretty much sums up the quality of the music on this CD, and while most KISS fans believe that Love Gun or Destroyer are the best in the KISS catalog, Hotter Than Hell really makes a good argument for being up...

Pros: Some great songs, good art work, & a lot of forgotten classics over the years.
Cons: "Mainline" is the only filler track, & the album has more cult following than mainstream.

Soon after their debut album hit the stores in February of 1974, Kiss realized that their live stage show sound was far better to their studio effort. Their studio effort, the masterpiece "KISS" was basically just good old rock & roll throughout, save ...

Pros: One of the heaviest KISS albums
Cons: Production sucks

Hotter than Hell is one of the best KISS albums ever. Of all the albums they put out during the 1970's, Hotter Than Hell is the best. The only thing that hurts this album is the awful production. The sound isnt that bad on some songs, but on others,...

Pros: Great Tunes
Cons: Bad Production

Man, this is one of the best Kiss records. The only thing holding this back from classic status is the really bad production quality. Kiss really did not have a budget when this came out and it shows in that respect. Still, this has tons the classic...

Pros: Solid Album, Can easily listen to the whole thing
Cons: None

As a huge Kiss fan, I find this to be my favorite album. There really isn't a terrible song on here, it's a really solid album.
The song "Strange Ways" is really a strong point on this album, it's a really good closing song, it's got a...
