After being increasingly viewed as a dated relic of the 1970s, their album sales continued to suffer. One more flop would most assuredly have been the final nail in the coffin of their career as a band. They were lagging way behind the big hard rock\/metal acts of the day, like Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Van Halen, and the like.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put: <em>something<\/em> had to be done. So in a last-ditch effort to not only be taken seriously as a band but to also draw attention to themselves, they stripped off the makeup and costumes and &#8220;came out&#8221; in a televised special on MTV in 1983 to promote their latest album <strong>Lick It Up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The stunt ended up working like a charm. While not an all-out smash, <strong>Lick It Up<\/strong> was a hit, going Gold immediately, eventually hitting Double Platinum status in North America. Lead guitarist and co-songwriter Vinnie Vincent was now prominently featured as a band member (although he had significantly contributed to the previous album as a songwriter and guitarist), yet (like drummer Eric Carr) he was in essence a hired hand. Kiss was basically Paul and Gene at this point, more so the former than the latter.<\/p>\n<p>I was 12 years old when the album dropped, and I paid it no attention whatsoever. It&#8217;s entirely Vinnie Vincent&#8217;s fault. I don&#8217;t know if it was Hit Parader, Creem, Guitar Player&#8230; one of those rock magazines. He started running his mouth off in an interview about how much of a superior player he was to Ace Frehley, and <em>that <\/em>did not sit right with this massive Ace fan. At all<\/p>\n<p>Plus I wasn&#8217;t a big fan of the singles: at the time I thought the title track and &#8220;All Hell&#8217;s Breaking Loose&#8221; were both pretty damn lame. So I never bought the album. Years later I finally gave it a listen-to, when I found out how much Vinnie had contributed to the quality songwriting on <em>Creatures of the Night<\/em>as well as a bit on 1992&#8217;s <em>Revenge<\/em>. He might have come-off as a jackass in interviews, but he was a talented songwriter and guitarist, something Kiss really needed at the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lick It Up<\/strong> is a good album. It&#8217;s a step down from <em>Creatures<\/em>, but it not only rescued Kiss from being a 70s relic, it still brought the rock and melodic hooks that the band needed to stay viable on the rock\/metal musical landscape. The album has a more &#8220;refined&#8221; feel than <em>Creatures<\/em>, not as rich or as heavy. The influence of 80s hair metal is beginning to show here, thinner production values to play up the poppier\/more melodic edge of the music. Aldo Nova called, he wants his groove back. Still, this is a far, far, FAR cry from the rounded pop <a title=\"Album Review: \u201cDynasty\u201d \u2014 Kiss (1979)\" href=\"http:\/\/millheiser.com\/hokeyblog\/2014\/08\/04\/album-review-dynasty-kiss-1979\/\">Dynasty <\/a>or <a title=\"Album Review: \u201cUnmasked\u201d \u2014 Kiss (1980)\" href=\"http:\/\/millheiser.com\/hokeyblog\/2013\/07\/05\/album-review-unmasked-kiss-1980\/\">Unmasked<\/a>. Paul and Gene co-produced the album with Michael James Jackson, focusing on a less metal, more straightforward hard rock sound.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick track-by-track rundown:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exciter<\/strong> &#8211; This is one Kiss&#8217;s best album openers and a fantastic out-of-the-gate tune, with cool hooks that lead up to a great chorus. There is some fine fretwork from guest guitarist Rick Derringer as well. One of my favorite KISS tunes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not For The Innocent<\/strong> &#8211; A really good Gene tune, with a solid beat, great lyrics and a full, rich sound. I don&#8217;t think Gene would ever approach this level of quality again until the <em>Revenge <\/em>album, some nine years later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lick It Up<\/strong> &#8211; Like it or not, this has become a &#8220;signature&#8221; tune. My junior high-era garage band covered &#8220;Lick It Up&#8221;, because it was so freakin&#8217; easy to play. Anyway the song is a bit too poppy, very repetitive with uninspired riffs and a bland solo. Yet there&#8217;s still something unexplainably catchy here. This is one of those songs that sounds infinitely better live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Young And Wasted<\/strong> &#8211; Eric Carr once again makes us forget about the long-departed Peter Criss all over again with his drumming. Another really good tune from Gene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gimme More<\/strong> &#8211; This album track is forgettable, but not awful. The riff is pure early Maiden wannabe, Paul even sounds like he&#8217;s aping Paul Di&#8217;Anno. Not a bad song, but definitely not memorable either. &#8220;Cmon lick my candy cane&#8221;&#8230;? Oy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All Hell&#8217;s Breakin&#8217; Loose<\/strong> &#8211; Absolutely idiotic and mind-numbingly bad. The riff is pretty great though, courtesy of Eric Carr (!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Million To One<\/strong> &#8211; Fantastic. Paul went back to indulge his pop-rock proclivities and the results are really great. The song still feels fresh and energized over 30 years later.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, here&#8217;s where the album limps to the finish line&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fits Like A Glove<\/strong> &#8211; Gene&#8217;s contribution is his weakest effort on the album. Pretty forgettable in a&#8221;insert generic rock song here&#8221; way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dance All Over Your Face<\/strong> &#8211; And here&#8217;s <em>another <\/em>forgettable Gene inclusion. I like the groove of the song, but little else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And On The 8th Day<\/strong> &#8211; In a lot of ways I like the musicality of this song, but it&#8217;s juvenile in a way that doesn&#8217;t make juvenile lyrics so damn fun; it&#8217;s almost as if the entire band knew how entirely dopey the subject matter was and plowed through it with a sense of resignation, as opposed to embracing its stupidity with a sense of haughty Rock imperviousness.<\/p>\n<p>So overall there are four songs I really don&#8217;t care too much about one way or the other (the last 3 and &#8220;All Hell&#8217;s Breakin Loose&#8221;), two great songs (&#8220;Exciter&#8221;, &#8220;A Million To One&#8221;), three really good songs (&#8220;Young and Wasted&#8221;, &#8220;Not For The Innocent&#8221;, &#8220;Lick It Up&#8221;), and one completely average one (&#8220;Gimme More&#8221;). That gives <strong>Lick It Up<\/strong> a good batting average and remains the band&#8217;s second best album of their &#8220;unmasked&#8221; era. This is a decent rock album and a good Kiss record, more well-known for the stripping of the make-up rather than for the music contained therein. Unfortunately, the promise and excitement of both this album and <em>Creatures of the Night<\/em> would go completely unfulfilled for nearly an entire decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to shake off the stench of commercial disappointment that accompanied their three previous albums (Unmasked, Music From &#8220;The Elder&#8221;, Creatures of the Night), Kiss was now at the biggest crossroads of their career.
