It is KIss... What can I Say more?
5.0 out of 5 stars Thunderous album, brutal vocals by Gene, and amazing vocal range shown by Paul.
"Lick It Up" is one of the most underrated albums in the history of rock and roll. This is a must own for anyone that is a fan of classic rock or 80's hair metal. The album is absolutely a beast, I mean Gene songs sound mean. Pauls songs have a great energy.The album starts off with "Exciter", a song that starts off with an epic intro. The vocals by Paul are top notch, and the guitar solo leaves you remembering what you just heard. Catchy song, but not even one of the best on the cd."Not for the Innocent" starts Gene's songs off the way all of Gene's songs sound on this cd, loud, mean, and tough as nails. Gene Simmons growl never sounded so brutal, this is what rock and roll is supposed to sound like. This is what Heavy Metal shoul sound like."Lick It Up" is one most anyone has heard at this point, it's another "anthem" song by KISS. KISS likes to squeeze these in on every album, and this one was a home run. In my opinion not the best song on the album, but very catchy nonetheless."Young and Wasted" is one of Gene's most brutal sounding rude sounding songs I've ever heard. There's nothing, and I mean nothing, like hearing Gene Simmons scream at the top of his lungs with those thunderous guitar riffs in the background. Rock and Roll has, and never will sound better than this."Gimme More" while still an energetic and fun song, is in my opinion the weakest track on the album. That's not saying much though. The song starts off with a smoking guitar riff and Paul Stanley screams like the maniac that he is from the start, to the finish. Very "Under The Gun" ishhh."All Hells Breakin' Loose" is underrated, and should have been a hit. Very catchy heavy guitar riff, catchy lyrics, and one of the most epic guitar solos in the middle of a song I've ever heard. Great tune."A Million To One" is great, Paul Stanley puts the best of his vocal range into this one. The guitar riff is somewhat simple, yet thunderous, the solo in the middle of the song is gorgeous. Paul puts his heart and soul into the vocals on this song."Fit's Like a Glove" is 100% pure hard rock greatness. Fast, mean, beastly, monstrous, thunderous. You name it, it's exactly that. This songs starts with a fast guitar riff, and gets louder and faster until the end. If anyone tries to tell you KISS can't play their instruments, play this song in their face and prove them wrong. This song literally kicks you in the balls and leaves you on the ground asking for more."Dance All Over Your Face" is a big heavy guitar riff, followed by big heavy vocals once again by Gene. Just a thunderous beauty, along with an epic outro."And on the 8th Day" in my opinion qualifies as one of KISS' most underrated songs. Classic guitar riff, cool lyrics, great monstrous vocals and an amazingly catchy chorus. One of KISS' best songs. This song would sound amazing on the radio, but of course, it never gets played.

Great Album and it sounds great
4.0 out of 5 stars Energized And Unmasked, KISS Licks It Back To The Top
The early 1980's found KISS constantly in a state of flux. Their first three albums of the decade, Unmasked, Music From The Elder, and Creatures Of The Night, were ill-received by fans. The drums were vacated by Peter Criss, causing a revolving door of drummers on albums until the band settled on Eric Carr. Ace Frehley left for a number of reasons that ranged, depending on who you ask, from alcoholism to a total lack of interest in the band's direction, leaving the band with a number of guitarists filling his shoes on Creatures. It was one of the axe men on that album, Vinnie Vincent, who would become the band's guitarist (although never officially) for a very brief, chaotic, and highly successful time. The culmination of that brief period for the band came in the form of 1983's Lick It Up.On September 18, 1983, KISS appeared on MTV sans makeup. It was the first time in history that this ever occurred. Many, including Paul Stanley, believe that this is the main reason that Lick It Up was such a successful album compared to the band's earlier work from that decade.I believe that it was both the album's quality of songs and the removal of the makeup that made it so popular. While I personally consider Creatures to be the group's best 1980's album, Lick It Up comes in at a very close second place. Much like Creatures, the album is much heavier than anything the group had done up to that point.The album opens with Exciter, a hard hitting tune sung by Paul Stanley. The next song, at least in my opinion, is the weakest track and only real misstep on the album. That song is the Gene Simmons-fronted Not For The innocent. Like many of the group's later songs in the decade, it feels a bit too forced, almost as if the group is intentionally attempting to sound toughter than they really are.The title track is next. It's one of KISS' biggest non-original lineup tunes and there are plenty of reasons why. It's catchy, easy to sing along with, and exceptionally fun to listen to. Young And Wasted follows, and it is one of the groups best songs in my opinion. Simmons' vocals sound demonically wonderful here and I personally feel that he never sounded better in his demon persona.The pumping Gimme More and the raucous All Hell's Breakin' Loose come up next, both fronted by Stanley. They are energetic tracks that bleed with the influence of Vinnie Vincent. A Million To One, the slowest tune of the album, and the electric Fits Like A Glove (loaded with great innuendo), keep the album at a very good clip.The album is finished off with the sludgy Dance All Over Your Face and the poundingly anthemic And On The 8th Day.Vocals are split evenly between Simmons and Stanley, but Simmons definitely has the bulk of the best songs. His bass and Stanley's rhythm guitar sound wonderful. Eric Carr is dependable as ever, and really shines with his skinwork on this album. Call him polarizing as much as you want, but Vinnie Vincent's lead guitar work is some of the best on a KISS album from the 1980's. He co-wrote eight of the album's ten tracks. Rick Derringer is credited as playing guitar on Exciter.KISS would follow up Lick It Up with 1984's Animalize. Even though Vincent was gone by that time, his influence on the group would remain long into the late 80's and he would also contribute one song to 1998's Pscyho Circus.Lick It Up injected new life into KISS, and seemingly stabilized the group despite Vincent's quick entry and exit with the band. Of all of the group's releases from the 1980's, I would have to say that Lick It Up and Creatures Of The Night are the two most important albums of the decade. Be sure to add both of them to your essential KISS collection.Highly recommended.

In my opinion Lick it it up is where Kiss ended ,a great under rated album that totally rocks.After that its all down hill .
Seems to be getting hard to find this superb album by one of hard rocks all time best bands.
Delivery was VERY slow. Other than that I have no complaints. Been looking to purchase this CD for several years and haven't had much success until now. Although I'm sure it would have be available at kiss.com had I of looked there.
