Rating: After producing two albums that were little acclaimed by the crowd at the time but have been re-evaluated lately, Kiss went all out, composing new tracks for the new album "Dressed to Kill." Dated 1975, the album certainly sold much more than the previous ones, and allowed the group to release a first single, "Rock and roll all nite," which gradually climbed the charts of American radio, with the memorable chorus: "I wanna rock and roll all nite/ and party everyday!"
Following a musical line still a bit distant from the glam of subsequent albums, but rather closer to hard rock/blues, Kiss churn out ten catchy tracks, ranging from songs with choruses akin to those of the Beatles ("Room service"; "Ladies in waiting"; "Anything for my baby") to more decisive hard rock (with songs like "She," for which even Anthrax did a cover 25 years later). The most melodic moment is undoubtedly the opening arpeggio of "Rock Bottom" in which Stanley and Frehley make use of the sound of two acoustic Gibson guitars, one of which (Frehley's) has 12 strings!!!
Subsequently to this album, Kiss will release their first live album that will surprise the production label, which no longer had faith in them due to poor sales! "Alive!" will sell more copies than all three previous CDs combined and will launch Kiss's career to the pinnacle with the following triad: "Destroyer," "Rock and roll over" & "Love Gun"!!!
Paul Stanley: "After 'Dressed to Kill' we were ready to leave the label because we were disappointing our own expectations. The only thing that kept us together was the success of 'Alive!'. We didn't want to believe it, and even today we still can't believe it" (Kiss behind the mask-the official authorized biography)
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Two Timer (02:49)
She thinks she's high fashion
She thinks she looks divine
And that's what I keep tellin' her
I tell her all the time
And she tells me she likes fast cars
She says she likes mine the best
And just because of that, baby
You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me
Two timer, my baby is a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, timer
Two timer
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me
Two timer, two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer
My baby is a two timer
She's nothin' but a two timer
It's the truth baby, you're a two timer
My baby is a two timer
My baby is a two timer
04 Getaway (02:43)
I've been tryin' to get away
To get away
To leave this old town
I've been tryin' to see my way
To see my way
So I won't be found
Many times I've felt alone
I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know
I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
Some people, they tell me
They tell me
I've been here to long
It don't compel me
They tell me
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wonder
I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I
I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
I gotta get away
Get away, get away, get away
I gotta get away
Yeah, baby get away, gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Whoo, you've gotta get away
07 Anything for My Baby (02:35)
Anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Oh
I'm in love and it feels so good
'Cause I need her, don't mistreat her
And I tell her so
When I saw her and she looked my way
I was lonely, she's my only
And I've gotta say that
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
In the morning when I raise my head
She's beside me, she can hide me
When I'm feelin' low
If I'm thinkin' everything's all wrong
My girl shakes me, she awakes me
Then I really know that
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
Don't you know that
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal anything for my baby
I would crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
I'd do anything
I would give anything for my baby
I would die or live, anything for my baby
I would t-t-t-t-take or give anything for my baby
Yes, I would take anything for my baby
I would build or break anything for my baby
I would rob or take anything for my baby
I would do anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal
