Title: Kiss' Most Uninspired Moment
Review: "Crazy Nights" was released in 1988. This was in my opinion the low point of Kiss' career. Gone was the momentum generated by "Animalize" and, to a lesser degree, "Asylum." Also gone was that signature Kiss sound. To me, this album sounded so plastic, so uninspired. Even 1980's roundly trashed "Unmasked" had its redeming factors. "Crazy Nights" is probably the dullest thing Kiss has ever put out."Reason To Live," while having a nice message sounds too much like Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love is." Songs such as "Bang Bang You", "No, No, No", and "My Way" (not the Frank Sinatra version) sound like throw-aways from the "Asylum" sessions.Sadly, the album has not aged well. If you want to listen to what Kiss was, check out almost any other album from their back catalog. "Crazy Nights" would put Kiss on a downward spiral from which they wouldn't recover until 96's Reunion Tour.
