Love Gun was Kiss' fifth studio album in three years
(and seventh release overall, peaking at number four on
Billboard), and proved to be the last release that the
original lineup played on. By 1977, Kiss merchandise
was flooding the marketplace (lunch boxes, makeup kits,
comic books, etc.), and it would ultimately lead to a
Kiss backlash in the '80s. But the band was still
focused on their music for Love Gun, similar in sound
and approach to their previous straight-ahead rock
release, Rock and Roll Over. It included Ace Frehley's
lead vocals on "Shock Me" as well as one of Kiss' best
and most renowned hard rockers in the thunderous title
track. The album's opener, "I Stole Your Love," also
served as the opening number on Kiss' ensuing tour,
while "Christine Sixteen" is one of the few Kiss tracks
to contain piano prominently. "Almost Human" is an
underrated rocker and features a great Jimi
Hendrix-esque guitar solo from Frehley (no doubt due to
ex-Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer manning the boards
again), while "Plaster Caster" is a tribute to the
famous groupies of the same name. The only weak spots
on an otherwise stellar album are an obvious "Rock and
Roll All Nite" ripoff titled "Tomorrow and Tonight,"
and a pointless remake of the Phil Spector-penned
classic "Then He Kissed Me" (reworked as "Then She
Kissed Me").
