This record is about as essential as a fatal disease but is included because it's one of the first rock records I purchased, although pretty much played it twice before vomiting! 'Crazy Nights' symbolises how the other half of the metal genre lived during the mid to late '80s, dodgy new denim, cowboy boots, hair getting bigger and huge stageshows, but what such accessories couldn't hide was the fact that Kiss were nothing more than a bog standard rock band who had about as much attitude as a cornflake. 'Crazy Nights' was a success, the title cut aired on most radio shows, a big, corny American party anthem to sit sickeningly alongside Bon Jovi's 'Living On A Prayer', but worse was to come on the record,with only 'Reason To Live' owning any kind of credibility...and even that was debatable.Even so, 'Crazy Nights' is a nostalgic inclusion...just don't buy it for its retail price.
6/10
