    Kiss - Music From The Elder

    By stevepriestca  Jan 10, 2004 | 2 out of 2 found this Music from "The Elder" review helpful

    Pros: Kiss/ Bob Ezrin

    Cons: Grandiose/Mr.Blackwell

    The remastered Kiss - 'Music From The Elder' has the songs and story in the original order they were intended. Wow, this album is something else. If you take `Kiss' out of the equation and just listen to the album on it's own merit (v...ery loud on headphones), it's really quite an accomplishment. Some of the tracks are phenomenal, from `Just a Boy' to `Only You' and 'The Oath'. When it originally was released in 1981, it was absolutely the wrong time (and the wrong band) to release such a record. Now, it can be judged more objectively and recognized for some great songwriting and brilliant production. Lou Reed contributed some great lyrics on `A World Without Heroes' and `Dark Light' (which features a stellar solo by Ace Frehley), but I think Mr.Blackwell is a low point on the record and doesn't really fit in the puzzle. `Music From The Elder' was a disaster commercially for Kiss, but now some 20 years later, there is no denying the creativity and effort that went into making it. It is one of those albums that gets better with age and shows that when Kiss got together with Bob Ezrin, they could create something truly memorable and unique. Read more Less

    This was supposed to be a sountrack to the movie The ELDER. They did it and even wrote the screenplay. That is why it sounds the way it did. They (KISS)couldn't get the actors that they wanted to star so they scrapped it.This is just grapevine stuff ...but I have a friend that is the movie bizz and he says that KISS is giving it a try again.Thay want to be in the movie as Elders along with Sean Connery to name a few.I wish I could get the screenplay to read. My mind goes wild when I think of how it will turn out. It could be bigger than Star Wars..... Read more Less

Biography

Kiss

Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elabor... Read more
