Product Description

KISS, the iconic rock band, unleashed their tenth studio album, "Unmasked," on May 20, 1980, under the Mercury label. This album is a vibrant fusion of glam rock, glam metal, and hard rock, showcasing the band's signature high-energy sound and theatrical flair. With a runtime of 40 minutes, "Unmasked" is a dynamic collection of tracks that highlight KISS's versatility and enduring appeal.

The album opens with the infectious "Is That You?" setting the stage for a journey through a mix of hard-hitting rock anthems and catchy, melodic tunes. Standout tracks like "Shandi" and "Talk To Me" demonstrate the band's knack for crafting memorable hooks and powerful choruses. Meanwhile, "Naked City" and "What Makes The World Go Round" showcase the band's ability to blend rock with a touch of glam and metal, creating a sound that is uniquely KISS.

"Unmasked" also features the introspective "Two Sides Of The Coin" and the sultry "She's So European," adding depth and variety to the album's sonic landscape. The album closes with the heartfelt ballad "You're All That I Want," a testament to KISS's ability to connect with listeners on a deeper level.

From start to finish, "Unmasked" is a testament to KISS's enduring influence and innovation in the rock genre. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this album offers a thrilling and satisfying listening experience.

This 2025 Limited Edition Numbered LP is pressed on Picture Disc vinyl.

Vinyl Quality Impressive

Exceptionally crafted. Premium quality poster and cover. Gorgeous, uniformly colored vinyl with a tidy and smooth label. Soooo much better than those Mötley Crüe bootlegs that have been showing up lately.

KISS's Pop Evolution Triumphs
5 out of 5 stars
Moz-Tuxtocu-Vakzl23 February 2025United States🇺🇸
As a KISS enthusiast since '76, I'm quite fond of this album, with a few caveats. Let me start with the pressing. The audio quality is fantastic, and the vinyl is remarkably quiet overall. The music itself is top-notch pop, featuring tunes that are incredibly catchy and cater to the more youthful appeal that KISS had cultivated through their merchandising and branding at the time. When it dropped, I was all over everything KISS, and I genuinely enjoyed their evolving sound with each new release. However, in my opinion, the first 5-6 studio albums truly embody the essence of KISS. There's a common misconception that KISS is all show and no substance, but I wholeheartedly disagree. KISS crafted outstanding rock and roll music. Albums like Dynasty, The Elder, and this one, Unmasked, demonstrate KISS's versatility as a musical act. I'd even argue that they surpassed many of their peers because they could seamlessly transition between genres and produce chart-topping hits. If you're a die-hard fan of the classic KISS sound from the '70s, this album might not resonate with you. But if you appreciate good music and are on the lookout for a solid pop album, this one's a winner.

Unmasked US Version Shines
5 out of 5 stars
EmaZuhzkew26 January 2025United States🇺🇸
The present US version of Kiss' "Unmasked" boasts exceptional production standards. The artwork on the cover is faithful to the original, and the inner sleeve is unmistakably the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's, or at the very least, an excellent replica. As advertised, the audio quality is top-notch for audiophiles. It's a shame not every record released today is crafted with such meticulous care. Despite the ongoing, unfortunately polarized views among die-hard Kiss fans, I still hold "Unmasked" in high regard. The fact that this release is also available in Germany will delight collectors. The typography no longer seems to infringe upon the protection of the Constitution. Kiss is certainly not associated with fascists. I'm hopeful that the "Dynasty" I've also purchased maintains a similar level of quality. I'll share my thoughts on that in the coming days.
