![]() Wow.Ĭreatures really is a stellar album featuring songwriting by Bryan Adams, Mikal Japp and a guy named Vincent Cusano, better known by his stage name Vinnie Vincent. They are the cleanest, most powerful, natural and clear drum sounds this side of Led Zeppelin, and Kiss had a lot to be proud of. Interestingly, the 1985 remixed version featured a picture of Gene’s ass in leather pants on the back cover! See below for a gander at Gene’s buttocks.Īnd yeah, the drums are loud alright! They sound awesome, like John Bonham shooting cannons off the back of the stage. Thankfully, the original loud drum mix was remastered in 1997, finally available on CD. I guess someone in the mid 80’s decided the album was just too loud, and the remix was done. The reissue with the non-makeup cover has the songs in a different order, and they were remixed to bring down the loudness of the drums. Interestingly, neither played on Creatures. At one point in 1985, shortly after Asylum, it was reissued with new (non-makeup) cover art with Bruce Kulick instead of Ace Frehley. It is important to note that there are several versions of Creatures floating around. Hot on the heels of The Elder and Killers, Creatures was a defiant “we’re back!” from a band who was written off by the end of 1981. KISS – Creatures of the Night (1982, 1985, 1997)Ĭreatures Of The Night is one heavy, over the top & loud Kiss album. Part 19 of my series of Kiss reviews, leading up to the release of Monster !
