Revenge

Unholy	This great album kicks off with a very angry-sounding Gene Simmons. This sets the course for this record. Raw sounding guitars, real heavy drumming from Eric (Singer) and killer vocals from The Demon. A great start and a great song. Maybe Gene´s best...
Take it off	My n:o 1 favourite song off this album. And of course it´s done by Paul. It´s that sexy catchy riff song again. The ones that Paul does so well. A great part in the end when they all sing a-capella which only enhances this experience.
Tough love	Groovy! Paul again. This one swings but is maybe the weakest track. The song never really grabs hold of you and it takes a while before you get into it. Still, the guitar sound is great!
Spit	Oh, this one is great! Written by both Simmons and Stanley and they share the vocals. Really sexy with a killer, jamming chorus. Lot´s of speed mixed with more groovy parts. Another proof that they should try to write more together. Awesome solo from Bruce.
God gave rock 'n' roll to you II	A cover and but lyrics to this could just as easily been written by Stanley and Simmons. This was a big hit in Europe and it´s what got the media talking about a come-back for Kiss. (Ridiculous since they have been around the whole time). A nice catchy tune with solid guitars and drumming. Paul is making his declaration of rock and roll at the end of the song.
Domino	This one is sooo cool! A bit more layed-back than the rest, and it´s just right for this one. Gene´s voice is cool, the guitars are right on the note, the lyrics are funny and Bruce´s solo is smoking. You can´t really ask for more in a song.
Heart of chrome	Another one by Paul. The song is ok up until the chorus which is brilliant. It´s filled with power and force. Paul´s singing is just excellent.There is a lot of energy going through a song like this.
Thou shalt not	Another angry one by Gene. The heavy and dark guitars and Gene´s screaming makes this tolerable. Not a favorite in my book and the worst along with Tough love and Paralyzed. Good solo though.
Every time I look at you	A true power ballad and naturally it´s from Paul. Co-written with producer Bob Ezrin who he also wrote "I finally found..." with. But this is so much better. A lot of accoustic guitars and violins. It´s not the best ballad he´s done but it´s enough to please me.
Paralyzed	The third worst song. (Well, they aren´t that bad but they are not that good either). It kicks off great with a kind of guitar jam. What I like about this is the heavy metal sound. This is by far the heaviest songand that is actually what saves it. Written by Gene!
I just wanna	Paul Stanley. This is a song that is pure rock´n roll. It´s got some "hit"-feeling to it and good lyrics. It took me a while before I knew that he didn´t say the 'F'-word. A good slow part at the and with the four of them. Otherwise this is Paul Stanley show.
Carr Jam 1981	Eric Carr died shortly before this record so they decided to put something on it to remember him. They found this drum solo. Well, it´s nothing for me and I even think that Peter´s solo on the Psycho Circus-tour was better. So surely Eric must have done better than this. At least he shows how heavy he is.

KISS lost their musical edge during the late eighties and this record proved to be the turning point. Sadly enough Eric Carr died before it was completed and couldn´t be there to see it. Anyway, Revenge showed a re-newed and hungry KISS with dark sound and heavy guitars. It was clear that KISS had found it´s direction again, too bad we couldn´t enjoy it more now that the originals are back. Still, get this, cause it´s the best thing they´ve done during the 90´s.
