I don`t usually say things like this to girls your age, but when I saw you coming out of the school that day, that day I knew, I knew, I`ve got to have you, I`ve got to have you
You know what this shit reminds me of? Spinal Tap, without doubt. Isn`t "Love Gun" kinda similar to the ingenious title for a romantic song for piano from the Tap`s repertoire - "Lick my love pump"? Isn`t the song about Christine in its essence the same as "Tonight I`m gonna rock you tonight"? I believe it is. Still in the case of Tap it was a brilliant parody of simplistic hard rock, meanwhile Kiss IS the ultimate simplistic hard rock band. Let`s continue with the lyrics sheet, shall we? What do we have here? On "Got Love For Sale" Stanley (if that is him, I`m not too much of an expert of Kiss members - and Kiss members` members for that matter) offers having sex with him as a solution for every problem. We move over to "Shock me" with timeless lines like:
Shock me, make me feel better Shock me, put on your black leather Shock me, we can come together
I wonder why the lyrics pages don`t spell "cum" instead of "come" in the last line? "Tomorrow and tonight" is another song about sex with a rather catchy chorus going:
Tomorrow and tonight, tomorrow and tonight We can rock all day, we can roll all night
I already uttered some comments on "Love Gun", so now we can discuss "Hooligan". This song isn`t about blow jobs and stuff, it`s just a celebration of some dumb fucker. "Almost Human" is quite possibly supposed to be a horror song but it comes off as a hilariously stupid parody at best:
You`re so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream I`ve got to have you, baby, I`m listenin` for your scream
Stupid sexist lyrics, a dull attitude and unneeded seriousness - these are only some of the reasons why Kiss fail where Alice Cooper would have succeeded. "Plaster caster" is once again a song about blow/hand job:
The plaster`s gettin` harder and my love is perfection A token of my love for her collection
Finally "Then She Kissed Me" is a cover of a Sixties girl group song, so there`s no need to discuss the lyrical matter of that song. I`ve somehow missed the album opening "I Stole your love" which is just a stupid song about how cool the hero of the song is. Come on - did anyone ever take these guys seriously? At best they are funny because of their incredible stupidity but usually they just suck a redneck`s cock (just to be offensive). And their music? It ain`t no hardrock by my standards. It`s girly teeny pop with distorted guitars with the kind of melodies that even I could have composed on a lucky day and B-movie atmosphere. This is crap.
