THE ALLMUSIC REVIEW

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Review by David Jeffries



Besides arguing over which B+ or A- tracks are missing ("Why did they include

"'Talk to Me'" instead of "'Charisma'"?") the only thing bad you can say about

the two-disc Gold is that its cover art is too much in the style of Universal's

Millennium Collection series. The near-perfect track listing deserves a better

face than this generic, part-of-a-series artwork, but chuck that and the short,

hyperbole-filled essay and you're left with make-up era as good as it gets.

Think of a big hit and it's here -- in its live version if that's what's called

for -- while the filler is so well chosen you just know the compilers have a

Kiss Army membership patch somewhere in their dresser drawers. Laid out

chronologically, Gold snaps up three or four key tracks from each golden-age

album, gives the mighty Destroyer a little extra attention, gets more picky from

Dynasty on, and breezes through the solo albums with only one song each from the

four of them (which is being really kind to Peter Criss). You get to follow the

band from their gutsy beginnings to their bombastic, arena rock-middle while

getting a taste of the later iffy years and stopping short of when they became

just another band. There are too many highlights too mention and the track

listing and credits give all the necessary information (including proper Ace and

Peter-less group membership for Unmasked's and the Elder's tracks -- a first!).

They've even gone as far as to grab the two good tracks off the totally jive

Killers compilation and include a picture from the final make-up photo shoot

with a weary looking Ace. After so much mishandling since the millennium turned,

Kiss is finally done right by Gold. What Double Platinum was to time of LPs,

Gold is to the age of CDs.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ (A REQUEST)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



It's usual to post comments only to complain about a torrent which doesn't work

in your configuration. It's normal, after a few hours/days downloading and

expecting a release, to feel deceived if it doesn't work properly, and

expressing this is legitimate.



I've often found one comment (negative) on a movie/CD downloaded by 2000+

people, and since that single negative feedback, people simply stop downloading

and therefore, sharing. But a few times it was due not to the torrent itself,

but to some issues on the downloader side (not updated codecs, misused

tools...), and that's unfair for the person who took the time to share it for

free.



IF YOU FIND THIS RELEASE DESERVES TO BE RECOMMENDED TO OTHERS, HELP BY DROPPING

A LINE AFTER YOU'VE CHECKED IT. This way, You'll help in keeping the torrent

alive, almost as much as keeping it in your HDD until a 1:1 ratio is

reached.



Thanks
