The hardest album KISS released to that point. This album is a face-melting piece of heavy metal that comes across with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to your balls, and will peel the polish off your girlfriend's toenails at 50 paces. My favorite songs off this album are "I Love it Loud"(a concert staple), "War Machine"(a song that, believe it or not, was co-written by Bryan Adams), and "I Still Love You"(quite possible the heaviest power ballad ever written). The only thing this album had going against it was timing. At the time it was released, KISS's popularity was at its lowest, and this album, unfortunately, suffered.
