Because a hotel all alone is not a

Несмотря на довольно удручающие цифры продаж первых двух альбомов Kiss даже и не подумали опускать руки и продолжили штамповать новые релизы. Сейчас, мы имеем дело с их третьим студийником, озаглавленным "Dressed To Kill". Сразу на хорошие впечатления настраивает отличная обложка, на которой группа нарядилась в деловые костюмы. Смотрится это очень забавно и на удивление достойно. Впрочем, внутреннее содержание получилось ничуть не хуже. Качество записи, к счастью, опять возросло до приемлемого уровня и это сразу замечаешь. Что же касается самих песен, то на этот раз идеально соблюден баланс и разнообразие. Пол Стэнли является автором где то половины всех треков на диске, из которых можно выделить несколько исключительно приятных вещиц. Это развеселый и вульгарный рок-н-ролл "Room Service", простенький и прямолинейный шлягер "Rock Bottom", с чертовски красивым акустическим интро от Эйса Фрейли, очень качественная и мелодичная композиция "C'Mon And Love Me", ну и, пожалуй, еще музыкальное признание в любви под названием "Anything For My Baby". Джин Симмонс, очевидно выложившись по полной на "Hotter Than Hell", здесь выступил неубедительно. Написал он всего три композиции, по настоящему хорошая из которых только одна. Это весьма необычный для Kiss средне темповый номер "She", привлекающий своими хоровыми распевами и мгновенно въедающимся в память риффом. Скромняга Эйс Фрейли, уже в который раз тихо и спокойно написал чуть ли не лучшую песню на альбоме. Этот небольшой, но весьма удачный скоростной боевик "Getaway" опять был отдан на растерзание Питеру Криссу, у которого пока что не нашлось своих собственных творческих идей. Ну и как можно не сказать пару слов о самой большом хите за всю историю группы? Ведь в самом конце приталась она - "Rock And Roll All Nite". По сути, это простейший, двух аккордный боевик с примитивным текстом - но каков заряд энергетики! Ради ТАКОЙ концовки "Dressed To Kill" сразу хочется послушать еще раз. Образец качественного хард рока, не меньше, но и не больше. |

Выпуск второй пластинки «Hotter than Hell» и активная концертная деятельность приносили уж совсем мизерные доходы. Альбомы расходились очень вяло, лэйблы и менеджмент все больше залезали в долги. Но, несмотря на все свое тяжелое положение, группа с новыми силами записывает третий диск, озаглавленный как «Dressed to Kill».
И что же представляет собой третья пластинка группы? А представляет она полностью хитовый альбом с идеальным и чистым звучанием.
Отличия от дебютника и второго альбома заметны с первых минут, они буквально во всем: и в материале, и в звучании, и в игре самих музыкантов. Большая часть материала принадлежит перу Пола Стэнли. Его раздолбайские «Room Service», «Rock Bottom», «C’Mon and Love Me», «Anything for My Baby», и «Love Her all I Can» полны позитивом и веселым настроением. Джин же представил более спокойные, но не менее хитовые вещи. Такие, как «Two Timer», «Ladies in Waiting» и «She». Эйс Фрели так же внес свою лепту песней «Getaway», спетой Питером Криссом. Теперь о звучании… Здесь оно просто идеальное. Все инструменты прописаны идеально, гитары звучат мощно как никогда. Больше нет той сырости в звучании, которая была заметна на первых двух альбомах. Улучшилась также игра и самих музыкантов, в частности, Питера Крисса, здесь он выложился на все сто.
Ну и в заключение, хочется сказать несколько слов о завершающей песне альбома, это своеобразный гимн всех фэнов Кисс и в дальнейшем будет торжественно завершать чуть ли не каждый концерт группы. Имя ей «Rock and Roll all Nite». Эта песня была написана совместно Полом и Джиноми, и является главной песней не только альбома, но и всего репертуара группы Кисс.
Итак, несмотря на все трудности своего финансового положения, Кисс выдают просто убойнейший альбом, полный хитов и позитивной энергии. Слушать всем! |

A lady calls and asks if I'm too tired or if I'm just to dead for
[Chorus]
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no
My plane's delayed and I'm afraid
They're gonna keep me waiting here 'til nine
Then a stewardess in a tight blue dress says
"I got the time"
But just as I'm about to take my coat and get my fly
She says "Oh please", she's on her knees
And one more time before I leave I get some
[Chorus]
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no,
No!
[Solo]
In my home town, I'm hangin' 'round
With all the ladies treatin' me real good
A sweet sixteen, lookin' hot and mean says
"I wish you would"
But just as I'm about to tell her "Yes, I think I can"
I see her dad, he's getting mad
And all the time he knows that I'm in need of
[Chorus]
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no, I can't say no
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, you take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no, I can't say no
Room service, well maybe baby, room service
TWO TIMER - Gene Simmons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She thinks she's high fashion
She thinks she looks divine
And that's what I keep tellin' her
I tell her all the time
And she tells me she likes fast cars
She says she likes mine the best
And just because of that, baby
You think she'd forget the rest
No, no, no
[Chorus]
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me
Two timer, my baby is a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, timer
Two timer
[Solo]
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me
Two timer, two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer
My baby is a two timer
She's nothin' but a two timer
It's the truth baby, you're a two timer
My baby is a two timer
My baby is a two timer
LADIES IN WAITING - Gene Simmons

So you been to the market

GETAWAY - Ace Frehley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been tryin' to get away
To get away
To leave this old town
I've been tryin' to see my way
To see my way
So I won't be found
Many times I've felt alone
I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know
I know
One thing is that
[Chorus]
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
Some people, they tell me
They tell me
I've been here to long
It don't compel me
They tell me
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wonder
I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I know
I know
One thing is that
[Chorus]
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
[Solo]
I gotta get away
Get away, get away, get away
I gotta get away
Yeah, baby get away
gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Whoo, you've gotta get away

C'MON AND LOVE ME - Paul Stanley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She's a dancer, a romancer
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine
When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby this is what I said,
I said, "baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me"
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' every inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hand
So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
ANYTHING FOR MY BABY - Paul Stanley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anything for my baby
I would steal, anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal, anything for my baby
Oh!
I'm in love and it feels so good
'Cause I need her, don't mistreat her
And I tell her so
When I saw her and she looked my way
I was lonely, she's my only
And I've gotta say... that
[Chorus]
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
In the morning when I raise my head
She's beside me, she can hide me
When I'm feelin' low
If I'm thinkin' everything's all wrong
My girl shakes me, she awakes me
Then I really know... that
[Chorus]
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
Don't you know that
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal anything for my baby
I would crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
I'd do anything
I would give anything for my baby
I would die or live, anything for my baby
I would t-t-t-t-take or give anything for my baby
Yes, I would take anything for my baby
I would build or break anything for my baby
I would rob or take anything for my baby
I would do anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal
SHE - Gene Simmons, Stephen Coronel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
[Break]
[Solo]
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
LOVE HER ALL I CAN - Paul Stanley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my times dreamin' about her
[Chorus]
Love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never ever sad
She's so easy to please and it doesn't take money
no, no
We can have a good time when the skies aren't sunny
[Chorus]
Ah, I love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never ever sad
[Solo]
Whoo
[Solo]
I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my time dreamin' about her
[Chorus]
Aw-ah, I love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never ever sad
