Rating: I find myself tackling my first review… What drives me is a strong desire to express my passion for music and especially to engage with those who are certainly more experienced than me… I've read quite a few reviews with various comments, which often turn into heated discussions full of swear words, which has scared me a little, but I must say that even the most intense debates show that this is serious business, in the sense that the level of musical culture here is truly very high… However, while browsing the site, I noticed that there are few albums by Kiss and this struck me greatly, to the point that I decided to review one myself!!! After this preamble, you should know that I am not a great expert, my musical knowledge is certainly not broad, I don't know by heart the names of all the artists, nor the instruments or techniques, but certainly what guides me is the music itself… what I feel inside. Perhaps very often those who exaggerate in learning notions or flaunting a pedantic culture, distance themselves a bit from what initially led them into the world of music, which is that pleasure, that taste, that sensation that transports you and drives you far away, to another world, makes you imagine a better place, more serene, more just… And that's how I feel, especially with Kiss, which I got to know just recently, thanks to my ex-boyfriend.
When I listen to them, I don't really think about anything, I don't think about the problems that plague me, nor about how unfair and disgusting this world is, I just feel like singing at the top of my lungs and following the rhythm of their songs… They are great, and “Hotter Than Hell” is, in my opinion, really well made!!! Apart from “Goin’ Blind”, the ballad of the situation, they are all fantastic, like “Let Me Go, Rock ‘N Roll”, or like “Got To Choose”; but as with these two mentioned, this judgment applies to all!!! What I appreciate so much is their musical style, pure rock ‘n roll, clean, almost rudimentary, no virtuosity, no bullshit, no exaggerations (except for their look, eh eh), just pure rock n’ roll, a desire to have fun, to take things with simplicity and so much love for music, the universal language that brings everyone together…
Well, I'm done, rereading it I realize it's a non-review, because I've talked about everything except the album, but unfortunately, I can't give you technical details (I hope you can help me with those)… Let's say I base the beauty of an album on empirical rather than technical data, whether it is right or wrong, I don’t know… Please, don't be too cruel with the comments, have mercy, it's just my first review!!!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Got to Choose (03:54)
Baby, you know I heard the neighbours say
Baby, you might be leavin' me today
Oh yeah, mmm, someone's come along and shared your time
Don't care, no I don't, no
But you can't be his and still be mine, so
Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose
Sometimes, oh sometimes, I know you need a change of pace
Oh yeah, but I ain't gonna run no race
Baby, you've got to tell me yes or no
Alright, alright, come on and tell me
Tell me if you're gonna go, come on
Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose, got to choose
Who's your baby, who's your baby
Who's your baby, who's your baby
02 Parasite (03:02)
She'll always be there trying to grab a hold
She thought she knew me, but she didn't know
That I was sad and wanted her to go
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
I didn't wanna have to get away
I told her things I didn't want to say
I need her and I hope she'll understand
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
03 Goin' Blind (03:37)
And I know how it should be
There is nothing more for you and I
Some are young and some are free
But I think I'm goin' blind
'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
Little lady, can't you see
You're so young and so much different than I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm goin' blind
'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
'Cause, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
You're much younger, can't you see
There is nothing more for you and I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
And I think I'm goin' blind
Yes, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
04 Hotter Than Hell (03:30)
Come on
She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case
I said "Lady, oh lady, can I take you home
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun
I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said "You don't understand
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun
07 Watchin' You (03:44)
Limpin' as you do and I'm watchin' you
And you don't really know a-just what to do
You don't really know
You don't really know
What to do
And I'm standin' here not quite aware
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' you
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' us

09 Comin' Home (02:38)
It's been a month or two since I was sleepin' with you
I'm comin' home again
I've been to east and west, but baby I like best
The road that leads to you
Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane
It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane
It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home, baby
10 Strange Ways (03:18)
Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Well, it's a strange place
That you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line
You've been deliverin'
I think I like it
But I'm not really sure
Don't wanna to fight it
Just wanna feel some more
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
