Kiss
Dressed To Kill
[Mercury Remasters Series]
Rating: 9.5
Now this is more like it! Rebounding from the juvenile remastering of
Hotter Than Hell, the boys in Kiss and their trusty digital remixer
Andy (or whatever his name is, hell if I know) get it right. Crisp and
crunchy as a bowl of dry Rice Krispies, Dressed To Kill kicks with ten
great tracks in just a little over half an hour's time. Probably the
bluesiest of the early Kiss albums, Dressed To Kill starts off with
the raucous "Room Service" and careens like a nonstop rock attack through
the album's final cut, the quintessential '70s rock anthem "Rock and Roll
All Nite." No frills, no duds, just Kiss in their prime.
