Product Description: After the misstep of Hotter Than Hell, Kiss recaptures the energy of their first album and go one better with Dressed to Kill. Obviously the most well-known song off this album is "Rock and Roll All Nite," but there's a lot of other good material here as well, including the upbeat "Room Service," the groove-heavy "C'mon and Love Me," and the sensual "She." Though Kiss would not become superstars until their next album (that would be Destroyer), Dressed to Kill shows them headed in the right direction, having hit on the elusive formula of heavy chords, strong rhythms, and a determination not to take themselves too seriously. --Genevieve Williams


Customer Reviews


5 stars Kiss, "Dressed To Kill', 1975
Kiss"s third album, "Dressed To Kill", is an album that is a nice three chord basic rock album. Clocking in at just 30 minutes for ten songs it is your basic rock album. Realesed March of 1975 Dressed To Kill mannaged too sell over 200,000 copies another nice leap from the bands first two albums. This album also contains two songs from Gene Simmons and Paul Stanleys band before KISS, Wicked Lester the songs being, "She", and, "Love Her All I Can". This album also contains one of the most known rock songs of all time, "Rock N Roll All Nite", but it wouldnt be until the album ALIVE that that song would become a huge hit and the version on here became a single and was a hit also.

5 stars clean production, and includes one of the best songs ever
Neil Bogart (Casablanca president), is listed as the producer of this record and it's clear the intent was to make Kiss better sounding than their first two records. "Room Service" kicks off the record with a bright, fresh drum sound and a clean (but rockin'!) guitar sound. Frankly, it sounds better than most stuff today. But "Dressed" is not the first Kiss record I'd recommend to newcomers. The songwriting is not consistent (Gene's fault), and I would say this is the record to buy individual songs from if you don't have the funds for the whole thing. No. 1 to get: "Rock and Roll All Nite", the version here is the definitive version in my opinion, alot of people like the "Alive!" version but listen to the drums at the beginning of this version: perfection. Ace Frehley is my favorite guitar player but there's no solo here, doesn't need it. 2. "Come On and Love Me", Great songwriting gem from Paul. 3. "Room Service", another gem from Paul. 4. "Love Her All I Can", Ace just recently started playing this live, it's a great song with even better performances from Ace and Peter. 5. "Getaway", an Ace tune with Peter singing. There's other good songs on here but a couple of clunkers. Despite that, I rate this as high as any Kiss album for two reasons: sounds great and Rock and Roll All Nite.


5 stars Awesome CD, KISS at their Best!
I think this is KISS' best CD. It's one of my all time favorite KISS CDs. All the songs here are raw and not over-produced. I can listen to every song on this CD and not skip one. It just rocks from start to finish. This is a very good demonstration of good, rockin' early KISS. Ace's guitars sound really good and Peter's drumming is solid. This is when they were young and hungry, before things really started taking off for them, so i love it. BUY IT!


4 stars she's a killer
The 3rd album for Kiss, Dressed to Kill, is another classic rocker. Of "The Originals" (the first three Kiss studio releases) this is my least favorite, but that only shows how great their first two albums are. Dressed to Kill clocks in at under 30 minutes, but it's non-stop classic rock from start to finish. This album also has a lot of "left over" material from the first two Kiss album recording sessions and even Wicked Lester. But even Kiss' filler from the early 70s is really good stuff. Another "must have" for any Kiss fan. Standout tracks: She, C'Mon and Love me


5 stars Under-played
Killer.Too many of these songs are never played,yet it's the album that contains the anthem,Rock and Roll all Nite.Love Her All I can and Two Timer are really good songs.Get Away is great too.This was one that was pre-fame.It always brings a smile to my face as I remember when life was so good and music was just so great.
