Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio at Sterling Sound, NYC.
By 1975, Kiss' songs of sex, fun and rock and and roll had gained the band a loyal following thirsting for more. With their third album, Kiss did not disappoint.
The ribald and rollicking "Room Service" kicks things off with a nudge and a wink; it's about getting more than just fresh towels from the front desk. The rest of DRESSED TO KILL continues down that road, whether it's Gene Simmons singing of "moving down the line/the ladies are all looking fine" or Paul Stanley describing a tryst with an exotic dancer who spotted his picture in a magazine. While his bandmates naughtily sang of the fairer sex, Ace Frehley was inspiring legions of fledgling guitarists.
Two songs on DRESSED TO KILL come closest to showing why Kiss meant so much to teenagers. Frehley strikes a chord with "Getaway," a fantasy about trying to escape despite being flat broke. And the great rock anthem "Rock And Roll All Nite" is pure fulfillment--this was the exact destination their fans were trying to escape to. Re-released in a live version only months later, "Rock And Roll All Nite" became Kiss' first top-40 single, providing the springboard to the enormous success awaiting them in the following two years.

Kiss Dressed To Kill Songs Dressed To Kill Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews I Wanna Rock and Roll All Nite
The album with the KISS anthem Rock and Roll All Nite, Dressed to Kill. With great songs such as She, C'mon and Love Me, and Rock Bottom, I still say My favorite on this one is Rock and Roll All Nite. KISS lives on forever!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. The Definitive, Vintage KISS Album
This is the one KISS album that I'd insist on having with me on an island. Some of the most underrated KISS songs show up here (C'mon and Love Me, Love Her All I Can, Rock Bottom and Getaway), and they keep getting left off of the dozens of KISS anthologies. The intro on She has both Paul and Ace playing a lead riff over Gene's pounding bass. If you've got the first two live albums and Double Platinum, but still want more KISS, you've got to pick up Dressed to Kill.

Dressed To Kill
 $6.49  
Kiss' penchant for make-up was inspired by their downtown New York neighbors the New York Dolls and by Alice Cooper, who was on top of the glam-rock world when Kiss' self-titled debut came out in 1974. Rather than dress in drag as the Dolls did, Kiss fashioned their look on a mix of sci-fi and horror films, and the rock & roll of their youth. They fashioned their music on willful hard-rock arrogance. Several songs on KISS became staples in the ...

Dressed To Kill
$25.29
Be aware straight away that this is a release for the very serious B.B. King fan, certainly not the general one, and perhaps not even one who wants a good number of albums by the guitarist in the house. This two-CD, 33-track retrospective of his earliest recordings for Modern is more for the scholar and completist. It includes not only his singles from the era (among them "3 O'Clock Blues"), but also alternate takes and outtakes, some of which have been released on other reissues over the years, eight of which are issued here for the first time. The biggest strike against it, for the casual listener, is that it's sequenced so that the multiple versions of the same song are bunched together, so that you'll often hear the same tune twice or three times in a row. For the intense blues and King admirer, though, that could be considered an advantage, allowing close inspection of his early studio work. It's certainly a valid approach for those who want microscopic close-ups of an artist's oeuvre, and Ace handles ...

Dressed To Kill
$9.09 
Ozzy Osbourne is revered as many things: a heavy-metal icon, a reality-TV star, and godhead of the longest running rock festival tour in the history of the business. The Ozzy branding is a multimedia phenomenon, leaving nothing undone - except perhaps, until now, an all-covers album paying tribute to songs near and dear to John "Ozzy" Osbourne's heart.
First served up as gravy in the PRINCE OF DARKNESS box set, UNDER COVER is now available as a stand alone release, featuring several additional tracks. Putting the Ozzy stamp on Mountain ("Mississippi Queen") and Cream ("Sunshine Of Your Love") rockers seems logical enough, although some metalheads may be surprised by the lighter fare. Ozzy expresses his admiration for his beloved Beatles with two John Lennon solo cuts, as well as a poignant version ...

Eyeliner-heavy, German teen pop quartet Tokio Hotel's third (and second English language) full-length is a significantly louder and considerably darker affair than previous outings. While there's little doubt that screaming teenage girls will still stand front and center at the foot of the stage, this time around the band has set its sights on the "First Person Shooter" male demographic, baiting the hook with enough generic sci-fi imagery and Depeche Mode-meets-Fall Out Boy melodrama to fuel one hundred angry bike rides home from work. That's not to say that the results aren't effective. HUMANOID, as predictable and generally harmless as it is, is immaculately crafted thanks in part to longtime producer David Jost and a handful of A-list engineers. Between the Auto-Tune heavy first single "Automatic" and the Arcade Fire-lite stadium anthem "World Behind My Wall," one can almost envision the elaborate stage show being planned for the next MTV video music awards. And while Tokio Hotel may not have matured enough to hang with the big boys yet, they are most certainly the dark horses pacing up and down the Disney fringe.
