The most average hard rock ever made. Hinestly, Asylum is better songs.

UNMASKED was a disappointing offering that only the most die hard Kiss fans may be willing to defend. While DYNASTY's slicker pop-oriented song writing left many in the Kiss Army feeling disenfranchised, UNMASKED was yet another step in that more commercial direction. For starters, it lacks any memorable first rate songs. While it may have been a hit in Australia, "Shandi" was a forgettable ballad and hardly worth purchasing this record for. Things only get worse during the second half of the record. The root of their problems was that they were far too distracted by internal conflicts and business concerns to come up with any decent material. In an interview for the authorized book BEHIND THE MASK, Gene & Paul went on the record to give this record only one star (out of five)! Ace wasn't as quite dismissive of this album and actually showed some pride in his contributions. Even when placed in a more forgiving context, UNMASKED was undeniably a creative misstep that tarnished the Kiss brand for at least several more years.

By this point, KISS was slipping. The only great songs on this album were Ace's songs. All three of Gene's songs felt like he wasn't really trying anymore and Paul's songs on this album were sappy, 70's pop filler. This was also the last album to credit the original lineup (even though by this point, Peter wasn't really playing drums on most of the songs).

Changed to a higher rating. Much better than people give it credit and much better than previous listen.

Some of the best Ace's creations are here (Two sides of the coin & Talk to me) plus inspired Stanley's vocals. It's a shame the album's got fillers (Tomorrow) or songs that try to go with the trends (She's so European). All in all, not the worst Kiss album AT ALL. Somewhat enjoyable.

This is by far Kiss's most pop effort, and it's there second worst. The gloss and make-up on the hard rock of Kiss make it sound so unusual and horrid. It's like Paris Hilton at a Judas Preist concert, and singing with them, do you really think that would sound good? what a horrible, horrible, horrible album.
