Rating: Dear DeBaser readers, today, for those who read my reviews, I'm going to review another album by the legendary and unbeatable Kiss!
And now I start with my usual introduction. This album was released in 1984, times were changing, it was no longer the era for Kiss's glam rock, heavy metal was on the horizon. So, the Kiss decided to try releasing a metal album themselves: "Animalize". And now "on to the review."
The CD starts off great with "I've had enough into the fire," a beautiful song where the guitar of the legendary Mark St. John, a fantastic lead guitarist, takes the spotlight. The song is beautiful and well-made, the "kiss" are back, after "Lick it up" it really seems like they have resurrected. And indeed, continuing with the second track, "Heaven's on fire," it is clear that the Kiss are not dead. "THE LAST FAMOUS WORDS," here is the right expression; it takes just one song to ruin everything and disappoint the fans "Burn bitch burn," a truly useless track where the riffs are thrown together haphazardly and the only things you can understand in this song are: John's guitar, which gives its best, and Gene Simmons' out-of-form voice. "Get all you can take" is another song like "Burn bitch burn," useless and clichéd. Maybe in the '80s, Gene Simmons sang and produced failed songs because he was too busy basking in his exploits with the Kiss that once were. Another mediocre track plays in the player "Lonely is the hunter," this song is not for the Kiss nor for the Demon's voice, which tries not to go off-key and perhaps succeeds, but the fact remains that the Kiss prove themselves incapable of sustaining the success they achieved with "Creatures of the night" and "Lick it up". Suddenly, a gleam appears through the mist, a finally well-made song on this CD: "Under the gun" finally worthy of the Kiss name! The Starchild gives his best in this song, and you can tell by how he uses his voice: well-placed highs and never a flaw! The glory continues because "Thrills in the night" is wonderful; the guitars are heard, Paul's voice too, and everything seems perfectly calibrated. After the glory, obviously, the four Americans try to ruin everything with another mediocre song and guess who sings it??? Gene Simmons. Throughout "Animalize" he sings out of tune and poorly, and moreover, the songs he sings are the worst except for the last one on "Animalize" "Murder in High-Heels" which, despite being mediocre, is cute as a song.
The album is not well done, although I am a member of the Kiss army, I must be impartial and say this album was not a good product. In this album, you have the preludes of the 80s crisis of the Kiss.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Heaven's on Fire (03:21)
I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise
I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire
I got a fever ragin' in my heart, you make me shiver and shake
Baby don't stop, take it to the top, eat it like a piece of cake
You're comin' closer, I can hear you breathe
You drive me crazy when you start to tease
You could bring the devil to his knees
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire
Oho Heaven's on fire, oho Heaven's on fire, oho
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire
03 Burn Bitch Burn (04:42)
Well it's out of the fryin' pan and into the fire
You bent over, baby, and let me be the driver
Just a cut of pink, wouldn't believe me if I told you
But this time you bit off more than you can chew
My my, yeah, just listen to this, babe
I got nasty habits, it's a fine line, so many girls and so little time
When love rears its head, I wanna get on your case
Ooh baby, wanna put my log in your fireplace, maybe baby, you wanna get layed
Burn bitch burn, oooh, burn bitch burn, oooh
Burn bitch burn, oooh, burn bitch burn
Well it's an act of thrust and anyway you slice it
No sticks and stones, no kicks and groans can hide it
So why kid yourself, it's so cut and dry
Your body's condemned, and figures don't lie
Gonna cover my class, won't sit up and beg
Gotta keep my tail between my legs
You're cuttin' off your nose to spite your face
Ooh babe, gonna put you in your place
So burn bitch burn, oooh - well the heels are stacked now
Burn bitch burn, oooh - and there's nothin' you can do
Burn bitch burn, oooh - so don't burn your bridges
Burn bitch burn - we're all through, we are all through baby, so just burn
Well the heels are stacked against you
Don't burn your bridges, we're all through
Hey babe and there's nothin' you can do
Burn bitch burn, oooh - and there's nothin' you can do babe
Burn bitch burn, oooh - we're all through
Burn bitch burn, oooh - ooh burn, burn my baby
Burn bitch burn, oooh - yeah
(repeats out)
05 Lonely Is the Hunter (04:28)
My eggs in one basket, but she threw me a bone
She was dealt a full deck, but she likes to live alone
Ain't just talkin' to myself, need a reason to stop (oh yeah)
With a flower in her teeth, she drained the last drop
I said girls love money like bees the honey
But lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Asked her for a refill, sweat flew off my face (oh yeah)
She's a legendary figure, kept me in a cage
She's a torture chamber, when I seduced her in my bed (ooh yeah)
She gave a cold reading, success went to her head
In the heat of the battle the heart cannot rule, I'm such a fool
But lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
Lonely is the hunter, you're my one and only, and lonely is the hunter
