Kiss - Music From The Elder
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: 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 (very 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. ...
