All four of them are interesting in vastly different ways- Stanley with his unashamed iron grip on the band, Simmons with his vice-less philanderings, and drunken Frehely and Criss (who was once mistaken for being homeless) being given increasingly raw deals as their drinking/drug use made them more and more unreliable.<br /><br />Sometimes, I get the feeling that the music was almost incidental...Steampunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609869581933030312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115255799907031806.post-83771321150288452462010-10-21T10:18:56.873-07:002010-10-21T10:18:56.873-07:00i came upon this review of the elder and i really ...i came upon this review of the elder and i really had a blast reading it. not only brought it back some long buried memories, but i got -real- insight what was going on on this record. almost 30 years after its original release. <br /><br />i always liked the album, too. although they completely screwed up the order of the songs for us europeans. have no idea why, but the coherence of the storytelling wasn't given anymore. in spite of this i still thought it was a really cool album. no typical kiss album, but it really got my fantasy going back in the day.<br /><br />i laughed out very loud at your sentence "I imagine that when The Beast from Krull is finished menacing the countryside, he goes home and listens to Music From The Elder."<br />that one really cracked me up.<br /><br />your sum up of kiss in general and music from the elder in detail pretty much depicts them as i see them, too. <br /><br />cool review!Myxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805329336803269412noreply@blogger.com
