This album is really one of the better albums out there. It sort of stinks as a whole that everybody doesn't love it.
Everybody should try and obtain this CD.
I hope everybody who buys CDs, will please go out and spend their good money on this one.
This review used to be better. But ... Read review
Advantages: Classic Kiss Disadvantages: some weak areas
After making a sort of concept album and a basic rock album, Kiss returned to the studio to make an album that was to be the backbone of the following Alive2 album. Featuring classics such as Christine Sixteen and the title track and once more the cover being a comic book style artwork, Kiss delivered what the fans wanted to hear - rock and roll in pure form!
This is the first album to have Ace on vocals - he'f written songs from the very beginning ... ...Me' is stunning, with a typical Ace solo thrown in.
The album is let down only by two tracks - the forgettable 'Hooligan' (won't go to school again...please!) and 'Then She Kissed Me' a very poor cover that could have been replaced by a better original track, or the album could have stayed with 9 tracks. ...

Album Notes
Kiss: Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley (vocals, guitar); Gene Simmons (vocals, bass); Peter Criss (vocals, drums). Recorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte. Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio at Sterling Sound, New York, New York. Kiss had exploded from cult attraction to worldwide phenomenon by the time of LOVE GUN's release. Coming off 1976's classic ROCK AND ROLL OVER, LOVE GUN proved to be the last Kiss album to include all four original band members (1979's DYNASTY and 1980's UNMASKED included a fill-in drummer for Peter Criss). The album is also considered to be Kiss' last classic '70s release. Several tracks became signature favorites, such as the album-opening "I Stole Your Love," the explosive title track, and "Shock Me" which is Ace Frehley's very first vocal appearance. As is the case with the other great Kiss albums of the era, LOVE GUN contains very little filler--"Christine Sixteen," "Almost Human," and "Plaster Caster" are all oft-overlooked highlights. An excellent effort produced by Eddie Kramer, LOVE GUN continued the trend of the band's albums going platinum upon release, Kiss concerts consistently selling out, and t-shirts of the unsightly grease-painted mugs of Ace, Gene, Paul, and Peter being worn by fans everywhere.
