KISS Albums That Don't Suck, Take Three: "Dressed to Kill"


Yesterday, after I finished up part two of Novak's favorite series on this site, I was reminded by my pal Jeff that "Dressed to Kill" is another fantastic KISS record that certainly does not suck. Don't believe me, ask Anthrax.

Anthrax: "She" (KISS My Ass Cover Album)

"She" isn't the only rocker this album has to offer, "Dressed to Kill" has plenty of hard rock tunes that make this album a true classic. The last of the "original three" KISS records before their big break with their breakthrough double live album "Alive," "Dressed to Kill" is the most stripped down of all of KISS' records and tracks such as "Two Timer" and "Room Service" demonstrate that when it comes to blues influenced rock, KISS knew how to deliver the goods!

"Two Timer"


"Dressed to Kill,"despite being an overlooked album in the band's catalog, demonstrates enough musical prowess and songwriting abilities to be considered one of the better hard rock records of the 70s and definitely one that dorks like Novak can enjoy without guilty feelings.
