2.0 out of 5 stars We didn't need this and here is why.., May 21, 2008

By	Christopher Gazzo (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The 'Playlist Plus' is supposedly a new series that tries to bring 3 discs worth of material covering certain artists. The problem is not the music, but at this point they are all rather superflous. If you're familiar with "The Millenium Collection" series it is EXACTLY the same as this, just collected all in one place with a new cover, as opposed to 3 separate volumes. I mean, with approximately 10 hits collections already on the market, did Kiss really need another that covers no new ground? Additionally, the 3 discs are nowhere near full as they could have easily sliced this into 2 discs OR added more songs.

This collection's 3 CDs devote 12 songs to each decade from the 70's-90's, each disc representing one decade. If you were a fan of Kiss can you imagine trying to chop down what they accomplished in the 70's to 12 songs? Well, that's what disc 1 tries to do here.

That is reason enough not to purchase this set. The 2 disc collection "Kiss Gold" gives you 4 more songs for a total of 40 on two solid, packed to the gills CDs of prime classic music from the 'original band' for about 10-15 bucks less. Be aware, however, that the "Gold" collection stops in the early 80's. Either way, I wouldn't go here.

1.0 out of 5 stars No New Material... Again, July 1, 2008

By	ANAP - See all my reviews

What a waste of time. Paul Stanley keeps saying people don't want new KISS music, but what makes the record company think we want the same songs over and over again, but in a different order? This is a waste. KISS, put out something new or hang it up already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another KISS comp ... this time all encompassing, June 8, 2008

By	Robert (USA) - See all my reviews

If you can't splurge for the band's box set, this is probably the best place to go for a retrospective of the band in each era. It's not definitive, but it does give a nice look at what the band was up to - not only in the 70's - but in the 80's and 90's, as well.

As a die hard fan, we have it all, but for the uninitiated, this is a good place to start. Otherwise, splurge for the box set. KISS Playlist Plus is a remastered 3-disc, 36-track compilation that has nice packaging at an affordable price.

For those who don't know this is a repackaging of the three volumes (which are sold seperately) of the KISS 20th Century Masters releases.
