I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by

В начале 1974 года мир рок музыки был изменен раз и навсегда. Четыре парня из Нью-Йорка собрались вместе, чтобы дать жизнь одной из самых успешных рок групп за всю историю этого движения. Речь идет, конечно же, о Kiss. Их зачастую вульгарные любовные песни и безумный сценический имидж породили целое направление в тяжелой музыке тех времен. И первым же своим альбомом они установили для себя высочайший уровень планки качества, такой, что многие до сих пор считают дебют самым лучшей работой за всю историю Kiss. Я бы не стал делать таких скоропалительных выводов, но не включить этот диск в тройку лучших никак не могу. Слабых мест здесь нет, можно даже не искать. Что удивительно для начинающей группы - записано все очень и очень качественно. Где-то две трети представленного материала давно вошли в золотой фонд хард рока. Гитарист и основной вокалист Пол Стэнли блистает в простеньком, но чертовски привлекательном боевичке "Strutter", качумном медляке "Firehouse" и просто великолепной, немного мистической и таинственной композиции "100,000 Years". Основатель и мастермайнд группы, обладатель самого длинного языка в тяжелом роке, ну а по основной профессии басист и вокалист Джин Симмонс инфернально исполняет развеселый трек "Nothing To Lose" и одну из самых культовых и хитовых вещей Kiss - ураганный боевик "Deuce". Гитарист Эйс Фрейли поначалу изображает из себя скромного парня и только сочиняет песни, его алкогольный гимн "Cold Jin" отдан на откуп голосу Симмонса, который превращает и без того разухабистую вещь в совершенно угарное шоу. Ну и сидящий за барабанами Питер Крисс практически полностью исполняет, пожалуй, самую впечатляющее произведение на диске - помпезный и величественный эпик "Black Diamond". В середине альбома еще притаились три весьма неплохих трека, но по сравнению с этими монструозными шлягерами они совсем не котируются. Так что только за присутствие всех вышеупомянутых песен уже можно ставить высочайший балл. Что я собственно и делаю. |

В 1973 году еще никому неизвестная и ни на что не рассчитывающая четверка из Нью-Йорка с необычным для тех времен названием KISS выпускают свою дебютную одноименную пластинку. Здесь нет ни особой надежды на успех, здесь Вы не найдете признаков того, что группа стремится занять высокое место в музыке. Так что же тут можно найти? Альбом представляет собой простенький глэм-рок, песни не отличаются большой продолжительностью, тексты так же просты. Но что-то в этом альбоме есть. Здесь есть что-то, отчего Вы послушаете весь альбом до конца, услышав лишь первые аккорды «Strutter». Теперь о материале...
Несмотря на то, что это дебютный альбом, погрешностей в качестве записи материала нет. Но некоторые песни очень похожи друг на друга, я даже раньше всегда путал «Firehouse» и «Cold Gin». Среди всех 10 песен слушатель может сразу отметить открывающую альбом «Strutter», раннее отмеченные мной «Cold Gin» и «Firehouse», и крепко закрепившееся в концертных сэт-листах «Deuce» и «Black Diamond».
В итоге, я советую послушать этот альбом всем поклонникам глэма и хард-рока, это альбом будущих легенд и кумиров миллионов - группы KISS! |

And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter
She wears her satins like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby"
She takes you down and drives you wild

Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by

Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood

FIREHOUSE - (Paul Stanley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoo-hoo, yeah!
Whoo-hoo, yeah!
She'll adore you and she'll floor you
With her wisdom and her vision
And you'll love it and think of it
Till you lose all intuition
Come on
She can move you and improve you
With her love and her devotion
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you
But you're headin' for commotion
And you'll need her so you'll feed her
With your endless dedication
And the quicker you get sicker
She'll remove your medication
[Chorus]
Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul afire
Get the firehouse
And the flames keep gettin' higher
She's like bad weather but it seems so good
You'd never leave her but you know you should
[Solo]
She's like bad weather but it seems so good
You'd never leave her but you know you should
Ooh
[Chorus]
Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul afire
Get the firehouse
Whoo-hoo, yeah!
Get the firehouse
Whoo-hoo, yeah!

Ooh, it's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
Cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing

It's time to leave and get another quart
Around the corner at the liquor store
Haha, the cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again

Ah let me, let me
Let me be your Sunday driver

Just gotta decide girl and then you let me know

Oh, did you ever want lovin', so you're callin'
Up your baby and she's stallin' with the neighbors
And the night keeps gettin' longer
And the urge keeps getting stronger
So you're tryin' and you're dyin' and you're wonderin' does she love you
A knock comes at your door
Let me in honey

Let me be your Tuesday taxi
Let me be your Wednesday boy
I'll be your lovin' man
You'll be my bundle of joy
And oh

It doesn't matter where you wanna go
You just gotta decide girl and then you let me know, oooo, whoa-oh

100,000 YEARS - (Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style
Well, how could you have waited so long
You must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up with fear
In a hundred thousand years
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up with fear
In a hundred thousand years
And baby won't you let me
I think I'm goin' out of my head
I'm just about to, ooh yeah,
Ha...
[Solo]
I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while, would you please?
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style
BLACK DIAMOND - (Paul Stanley)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out on the street for a living
Picture's only begun, whoo-ooo-ooooooh
Got you under their thumb
Hit it!
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too, whoo-ooo-ooooooh
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothin' that you can do, no, no
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
[Solo]
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun, whoo-ooo-ooooooh
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Chorus]
Whoo, black diamond, yeah
Whoo, black diamond
