Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! My Kousins and I took the time today to listen and review Bruce Kulick’s album Audiodog. Bruce Kulick is, of course, our favorite KISS guitarist. This album was his debut solo effort after being unceremoniously excused from KISS. Okay, maybe it was ceremoniously done, we just think that once the “reunion” was over, they…
Salutations™!! Today is the 31st anniversary of KISS’ 15th studio album, Hot in the Shade. It rides really low on my list and if you search this blog you’ll probably find it. We talked about it on Asylum – The Tales From the Devereaux Diaries podcast. Anyway, the album had a few hits including this…
Salutations™!! Have you recovered from the first half of the list? Are you torn up about it? That’s okay. I’m used to that. So, here we go into the top 15 KISS albums in my preferred order. Let’s go! #15 — Crazy Nights (1987). Yeah, this gets a lot of flack for being bubble gum, sugary rubbish,…
Salutations™!! I threatened this a while back. I threatened that I would do my own ranking list of KISS albums, and here it is. There are a few criteria to this list and I will give some details as to why on some of them. This is my opinion and not based on anything other than…
Salutations™!! Finishing out the month of November with KISS things, we have three more anniversaries this month. First, what is, to me, the better of the two original US-based greatest hits KISS albums, Smashes Thrashes & Hits. I don’t know why they used this title as I think it’s kind of silly, but I liked the album itself….

Salutations™!! Happy Halloween, first of all. And, now, let’s talk about an album that was the last before the makeup came back for KISS. Almost as polarizing as Music from ‘The Elder’ was but for slightly different reasons. True Long-Time KISS fans have always been on the fence about it, some think it’s a great departure…
Salutations™!! In recent posts about KISS albums, you will have noticed that I always talk smack about one album in particular. And, today happens to be that album’s 29th anniversary. Of course, I’m talking about Hot in the Shade (HITS). Until Sonic Boom came along, this was my least favorite KISS album. I have two immediate (and…
Salutations™!! My Saturday was awesomely fun, but it didn’t include Underdog Records, so instead of a haul for today, we’re going to talk about (as promised yesterday) two major KISS records that have anniversaries this weekend. Yesterday was the 36th anniversary of the “comeback” album from KISS, Creatures of the Night. After the publicly-admonished “disaster” that…
Salutations™!! The month of September is a huge month for KISS fans, even if they don’t know it. Why you may ask? Because the month of September is the anniversary month for the releases of TEN KISS albums. I’ve talked about Alive!, Animalize, Asylum, Paul, Gene, Ace, Peter, Lick It Up and Crazy Nights. Here’s the last one for September. It’s one…
Salutations™!! The month of September is a huge month for KISS fans, even if they don’t know it. Why you may ask? Because the month of September is the anniversary month for the releases of TEN KISS albums. Alive! (click the link to see what I said about it) was released on September 10, 1975. That’s…
