After the massive success of estroyer', the band was riding high. Now the hard part, following up a massive album. Despite the success of the prior album, there were many fans who didn't like the direction Kiss was going. They felt the rawness of the band was missing. It was that rawness they loved. They weren't alone, Ace and Peter felt the same way. They did not want to repeat what Ezrin had done, but Gene and Paul didn't want to completely throw it away either. So, Eddie Kramer was brought back in to produce. They camped out at the Star Theater in Nanuet, New York i hopes to have a live feel for the album to make sure they capture the true essence of the band. And whether or not they did is still up for discussion. You get a mixed bag of thoughts on the production of this album, I will just say I think it is one of their most consistent albums they have done and we will get in to the meat of it later.
