5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a "best of" MINUS the greasepaint (almost)..., June 17, 2004

By	Scott Pistner (St. Marys, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a long time KISS fan, and a fan of ALL eras of this band, I was patiently waiting for a 80's best of. FINALLY it's here! It's essentially a tribute to the often over-looked, under appreciated, non-make up period (with the exception of songs from "Creatures Of The Night", the last of the make up albums for a while). Although a bit short at 12 songs, it is still a GREAT representation of where the band was at during the 80's. Three key tracks come to mind that were omited (Who Wants To Be Lonely, Turn On The Night, and Rise To It - all of which were big MTV hits). Also, a few tracks from their 1992 release "Revenge" would have made this a steller compilation in my book. No points lost though... this is still the "best of" that I'll be playing over and over!

4.0 out of 5 stars Kiss without makeup were still producing great songs., September 11, 2006

By	Y2bjs Reviews (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews

There is some pretty good songs here.These wre the days when good old Eric Carr was at the skins.Man did he thump those bongo's to a T.When he was there Kiss had a different sound,and it gave what i think was new life,and a different energetic sound to this band.I quite liked Kiss in the 80's,but i'm as diehard as you get.These days there is nothing new,but reflecting on there old music,its realy good to hear this era of Kiss.
I would of given this Cd 5 stars if it had of had more than 12 songs.
There is lots of songs i could of added to this collection from the same era.They picked 2 songs from each of the albums from Creatures through to Hot In The Shade.
It was a realy good era for music from this band,which battled back after Ace and Peter left as well as removing the make-up.
It appeared that their careers were on the line,but creativity stepped in and this is a partial reflection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay CD, good for starters, February 19, 2006

By	KISS 70's - See all my reviews

In my opinion the 20th Century masters were not really masters at finding good KISS songs. But I think people who are just getting into the 80's KISS era would like this one. I like to think of it as a demo, because there should've been more songs
