Kiss have always been a band known for bandwagon jumping, mostly for the worse. They did the disco thing with Dynasty, pop rock with Unmasked, NWOBHM with The Elder, their glam phase, and Grunge on Carnival of Souls. Sure enough, Crazy Nights is probably the worst album of Kiss's glam phase, with every cliche one could think of. Shitty anthems, overly slick production, pseudo-shredding solos, and poor lyrics about sex. I don't like to stereotype genres often, but this is just pathetic. The song titles are so fucking stupid that you will laugh just reading them. As stated, just about every glam cliche is packed in here, and Gene Simmons rightfully hates it.
