Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
Set aside the makeup, pyrotechnics, and coffin sales, and all that's left of "the hottest band in the world" is the music. Fortunately, in the case of Kiss, the music is their strongest suit. This five-CD box set blends previously released recordings, demos, and unreleased live material. Rarities come in large part from the band's halcyon makeup period and include unheard songs from an assortment of demos. Among the curios are the Wicked Lester versions of "She" and "Love Her All I Can," replete with horn kicks and hand percussion. No less intriguing is the previously unreleased Destroyer-era, Slade-inspired stomper "Doncha Hesitate" and Paul Stanley's disco-influenced "God of Thunder." Other demos give insight into the band's proclivity for cannibalizing early material for portions of soon-to-be hits. Though most fans recognize the 1970s as Kiss's heyday, the 1980s material such as Creatures of the Night's "War Machine" and Asylum's "Tears Are Falling" holds up surprisingly well. The fifth CD, which consists of 1990s output, falls flat, though some sparks are rekindled with the rewrite of Argent's "God Gave Rock & Roll to You." The box includes a thick, full-color booklet with rare photos and insightful song-by-song commentary from the band. --Kelly Minnis

Chronique amazon.fr
Point de rencontre des "pulp magazines", du glam rock et du heavy metal, Kiss a incontestablement pesé de tout son poids sur le rock des années 1970. Ce coffret est l'occasion de rendre hommage au quartette infernal de New York, à Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Frehley et Peter Criss, sans qui Marilyn Manson et quelques autres n'auraient peut-être pas existé. Ce Box Set est constitué de cinq CD. Le premier, certainement le plus intéressant pour les fans, comprend plusieurs maquettes qui remontent aux débuts du groupe (alors baptisé Wicked Lester), maquettes qui, fort curieusement, témoignent de l'influence de la scène progressive britannique (Jethro Tull notamment). Les CD 2 et 3, en revanche, remettent les pendules à l'heure, puisqu'ils couvrent les années 1970, en d'autres termes la période la plus populaire (entendons heavy metal) . Quant aux CD 4 et 5, il renvoie à la dernière partie de la carrière de Kiss, marquée par le départ de Criss et Frehley (qui reviendront en 1995 le temps d'un concert "unplugged" dont on retrouve ici quelques titres). Kiss ou "quand la démesure fait loi" ! --Philippe Margotin
