ROCK AND ROLL OVER REVIEW | Reviewer: chuck case | 9/9/11

KISS won over audiences by relentless touring in the 70s.When they hit the stage in support of the DESTROYER LP with their biggest stage show to date it helped that album reach triple platinum status & paved the way for R & R OVER to SHIP platinum.That means one million orders before the album is even released!!!Released in NOV. 1976,just 8 months after Destroyer this LP makes a great companion piece to their 2nd LP HOTTER THAN HELL.Raw & vibrant,this album oozes rock and roll.After Bob Ezrin's polished production on DESTROYER,KISS wanted to get back to basics where it was just them & their guitars.They brought in Sean Delaney to coproduce with them a live-in-the-studio album.Recorded at the Nanuet Star Theater in New York they walked out with a classic that solidified KISS superstar status.Nearly every song a KISS classic(ask any fan)!With the exception of Hard Luck Woman,sung beautifully by Peter Criss this album is WAY to raw for commercial radio.Songs such as "I Want You","Love'm & Leave'm" & "Ladies Room" will NEVER be heard on your favorite FM station,with Paul Stanley singing about a woman "you can run,you can hide but you'll never get away"!Or how about his ode to oral sex on Take Me,"Put your hand in my pocket,grab on to my rocket".Of course Gene Simmons classic "Calling Dr. Love" is here also.He also recorded "See You In Your Dreams"(a song he would re-record for his solo LP 2 years later)"Baby Driver",has a really cool riff & Peter using that rough,screaming voice of his to good effect.Paul really shines on this album with great songwriting,vocals & some kick-ass rhythm.Aside from "Take Me" & "I Want You" he also has one of the most underrated KISS songs in "Mr.Speed" A cool but still in your face rocker as well as the album closer "Makin'Love",very much a metal classic & surely one of my favorite cuts from Mr. Stanley.My Rating 10
