This week Tom & Zeus review the 1974 KISS album, "Hotter Than Hell.” This was KISS' 2nd studio album and the 19th KISS studio album reviewed by SIOL.
Produced by the same two producers of the debut album a few months earlier, Kenny Kerner & Richie Wise, Hotter Than Hell was the first album that KISS did not have all the songs ready to go. Some of the songs were left overs from the previous album and also Wicked Lester, but some were created for this specific album.
The album features a still hungry bad with contributions from all members. Of the ten songs, only three were sung by Paul Stanley. Ace Frehley had three writing credits, Peter Criss sang two songs and Gene Simmons sang 5 songs!
The album was darker and heavier than the debut album and is noted for its tough sounding production. Many of the songs became KISS concert staples, such as Parasite, Let Me Go, Rock 'N' Roll, Hotter Than Hell and more. A couple of KISS' best deep cuts are also on the album.
The album cover by John Van Hamersveld features a Japanese theme and photos from the legendary photo shoot by Norman Seeff.
As usual the guys breakdown and analyze the tracks and rank the songs SIOL style. As always, they then compare the album and album cover and rank it against the previous studio albums reviewed.
Don't miss the incredible episiode opener!

Album Review Crew Episode 38 "Come An' Get It"
On the 38th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny review the 1981 Whitesnake album, "Come An' Get It."
This was Whitesnake's 4th studio album. The band had yet to break in the United States. However, the band at this time was continuing to grow in the UK. This album made it to Number 2 on the charts in the United Kingdom and went Gold there.
The band was led by the one and only, the charasmatic David Coverdale on vocals. The legendary two headed guitar attack of Whitesnake at this time was Bernie Marsden & Micky Moody. Longtime Whitesnake member, Neil Murray was on bass and the legendary Deep Purple members, drummer Ian Paice and legendary keyboard player Jon Lord filled out this incredible lineup.
The record was once again produced by Martin Birch. This is Birch's 3rd album reviewed on ARC. The album was filled with British blues numbers, rockers and Coverdale's naughty lyrics. The album cover is another Whitesnake classic.
As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous 35 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.
This was Zeus' pick and the second Whiesnake album reviewed on the Album Review Crew.
So grab your British accent and lets hit the streets at midnight lookin' for a little Hot Stuff!
