Episode 161 "Killers"

128 min • 5 februari 2022

This week Tom & Zeus review the 1982 KISS compilation, "Killers." This is the 2nd KISS compilation, however it was released only outside the United States. The album was available in the US only as Import. The album consisted of 12 tracks, with four of them being new tracks. The band was coming off of a string of bad fortune including their biggest, recent failure, Music From The Elder. The new songs and this greatest hits was a prelude to their upcoming comeback, "Creatures Of The Night."

The new tracks included four new Paul Stanley songs. Ace Frehley did not participate on the album and Gene Simmons only played on one track. New drummer Eric Carr performed on the compilation as well as KISS honorary family member Bob Kulick, who was on fire on this album. Outside songwriters like, Adam Mitchell, Mikel Japp and Bryan Adams, yes that Bryan Adams, were brought in to help the band. KISS hired a new producer Michael James Jackson, who would go on to produce the next two KISS albums as well.

The very 80's album cover is the first to feature a new KISS member in makeup, Eric Carr's The Fox. It also showed the band with their "Elder" look as well.

The guys breakdown the new songs and rank them. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previously review KISS compilation albums reviewed so far on SIOL.

So Loudcasters.... "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!"
