THE REVIEW
Back again with a great record that accompanies us on those somewhat boring days, let's say. The work in question is "Lick It Up" by KISS, one of the bands that has marked the history of rock and continues to do so today with their raw yet melodic and pleasantly catchy sound.
This was the most commercial period for the gentlemen in question, who followed, starting from 1983, the style so popular in the '80s, namely Hair Metal or better defined by many as Glam Metal.
The first part of the album is really fast-paced and fun, enriched by many terribly flashy tracks like LICK IT UP, EXCITER, and GIMME MORE. The train, however, doesn't stop because the fun is also guaranteed with YOUNG AND WASTED, FIRST LIKE A GLOVE, and ALL HELL'S BREAKIN' LOOSE. In short, an album not to be missed for fans of this great band, which, while trying every possible genre within the rock environment, has always succeeded in its projects and has always entertained many people with their spectacular tracks and their electrifying concerts. So, listen to this album, and if you have never listened to the band in question, do it, it's really worth it.

"Lick It Up is the album of rebirth, at least from a purely commercial point of view."
"Ultimately an unsuccessful album, which leaves a bitter taste as it fails to reach the quality peaks of previous releases."
By the alexander
The album is absolutely a must-have for fans of the Hair Metal genre, it surely won’t disappoint.
Masks no longer exist, but a typical Glam Metal makeup style of the era does, along with great music that never changes and has always characterized the great Kiss style that will never die.
