Через некоторое время после начала своей карьеры участники группы Kiss осознали одну простую истину. Не получив сразу много денег и популярности, музыканты принялись ковать себе успех самым простым и надежным путем - беспрерывными гастролями и частыми выпусками новых пластинок. Поэтому второй студийник Kiss "Hotter Than Hell" появился на прилавках уже осенью 1974 года. Записан он был буквально за неделю, когда группа была проездом в Лос-Анджелесе. Такая поспешность не пошла ни альбому, ни материалу на пользу. Качество записи в выбранной наугад студии, как можно догадаться, не блистало. Тем не менее, это всего лишь придирка, на самом деле все инструменты прописаны сносно, просто могло бы быть НАМНОГО лучше. Что же касается самого материала то тут опять все относительно хорошо. Никакого сравнения с великолепным дебютом "Hotter Than Hell" не выдерживает, но как отдельное произведение слушается весьма неплохо. Особо удачных песен несколько. Эйс Фрейли поднатужился и выдал на гора два абсолютных шедевра - просто потрясающий скоростной боевик "Parasite" спетый Джином, и мрачный медляк "Strange Ways" отданный Питеру Криссу. Эти две композиции являются этакими королем и королевой альбома, но и остальной материал вполне слушабелен. Интересно, что довольно неожиданно, на диске доминирует Симмонс. Мало того, что за ним вокал в большинстве треков, так и песни его авторства намного лучше материла Пола Стэнли. Например, ураганный классический буги "Let Me Go, Rock 'N' Roll" в традициях 60-ых годов, очень грустная и проникновенная баллада "Goin' Blind", незаслуженно обделенная вниманием на концертах вплоть до недавних времен, ну и еще отличный тяжелый номер "Watching You" с блюзовыми корнями. А материал Пола совсем не портит общей картины но, к сожалению, не отличается высоким качеством. В итоге, ставлю этому диску довольно высокую оценку, к счастью, явных провалов здесь нет. Так что рекомендуется всем тем, кто устал от наиболее известных работ Kiss и хочет послушать что нибудь другое. |

После выхода дебютной пластинки под названием "KISS" группа сразу, не теряя времени, отправилась в тур в поддержку дебютного альбома. Альбом продавался очень скромными тиражами, тур приносил ничуть не больше прибыли, чем пластинка. Оценив ситуацию, группа записывает второй по счету альбом под названием "Hotter Than Hell". Альбом вышел в 1974 году, спустя несколько месяцев после выхода "KISS".
Группа очень торопилась записывать альбом, сроки записи были экстремально коротки, альбом получился очень сырым по звучанию, его можно было бы еще чуть-чуть отшлифовать, но делая ставку более на коммерческий успех, нежели на качество записи, группа выпускает альбом таким, каким он был записан изначально.
Как я уже сказал, звучание альбома очень сырое, слушатель сразу замечает очень жесткий звук барабанов, пониженное звучание гитар и наскоро записанный вокал. Но сам материал получился разнообразнее, группа вышла на новый уровень, заметно улучшилась игра Питера Крисса, звучание стало мощнее, а риффы сложнее. Однако, темп песен значительно медленнее, чем на "KISS". Здесь нет второго "Strutter" или "Nothing To Loose", зато есть "Let Me Go Rock and Roll", по своей скорости напоминающая "Deuce". Но большинство песен звучат в темпе "Firehouse", или "Kissin' Time". Также здесь можно найти красивую и грустную балладу "Goin' Blind". Романтическую песню "Mainline" в исполнении Питера Крисса. «Открывашка» альбома "Got To Choose" и "Hotter Than Hell" также заслуживают внимания.
В итоге альбом "Hotter Than Hell" получился разнообразнее, профессиональнее и хитовее, чем "KISS". Сырое звучание во многом портит впечатление, но послушать альбом обязательно стоит. |

HOTTER THAN HELL - Paul Stanley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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"
[Chorus]
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
[Mini-Solo]
I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said "You don't understand
I'd love to come, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band
[Chorus]
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, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Solo-outro]

You say it's within your heart
You keep repeatin' that we'll never part
I'm so finally glad to hear you stop
For a day
[Chorus]
You just keep talkin' louder
Complain to your mother and father
One of these days you'll push me all the way
And you're wearin' clothes that fit you well

For a day
So if you think you need advice

COMIN' HOME - Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a month or two since I was sleepin' with you
I'm comin' home again
I've been through east and west, but baby I like best
The road that leads to you
[Chorus]
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
[Break]
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
STRANGE WAYS - Ace Frehley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you've been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days...
