KISS lore has it that this was the album that cemented KISS' reputation and propelled them into stardom, finally providing them with the hit album they so wanted with their first three releases but didn't quite manage. This is original KISS at their toughest and most raw, indeed their most genuine as a rock band and containing all the solid, heavy-hitting nuggets that they mostly still play to this day and delivered here with youthful passion, panache and balls-out drive.The wife, upon looking at the cover, said they looked unbelievably gay. I was fairly aghast. I asked her to reconsider her definition of "gay". She pointed to Gene Simmons, of all people, and rested her case. Well, I didn't know quite what to say. Gay!? Well, yes, I can see what she means. But no...not gay! (sticks fingers in ears and hums "Hot, hot..hotter than hell!!"...)
