Episode 139: "Revenge"
EPISODE DESCRIPTIONThis week Tom & Zeus review the 1992 legendary non makeup KISS album, Revenge. It's album review time and this is the14th KISS studio album (including the 1978 solo albums) reviewed so far. This Gold album is the first to feature Eric Singer, who joined the band after tragic loss of KISS fan favorite, Eric Carr. The album is dedicated to beloved drummer.
This is the beginning of the "Revenge Era" KISS, where the "Demon" is back! A focused Gene Simmons along with Paul Stanley in his prime, Bruce Kulick now comfortably and confidently at his best and a hungry Eric Singer, a non makeup KISS, is perhaps at its peak. Gone is the bright glam look and sound and now replaced with dark, black leather and heavier music.
The band released 5 singles and videos including fan favorite Unholy, which is the first single and video to feature Gene Simmons as the lead vocalist since I Love It Loud. Revenge also boasts the return of two KISS legends, producer extraordinaire, Bob Ezrin and the talented and never dull, guitar whiz, Vinnie Vincent.
As usual the guys breakdown and analyze the tracks and rank the songs SIOL style. As always, they then compare the album and the album cover and rank it against the previous studio albums reviewed.
This episode will make you want to TAKE IT OFF!
God Bless Eric Carr!
