KISS (Smashes, Thrashes & Hits) 1989
Front Cover
Back Cover
Smashes, Thrashes & Hits is a Greatest Hits package and just like before, they felt the need to remix all the songs. They even fucked up I Love It Loud with this remix. The drum sound is super thin and has none of the balls from the original. My guess is that they had to tone it down to keep in line with the rest of the album or it would have stood out like a sore thumb. But the biggest gaffe was having Eric Carr re-record the lead vocals for Beth. I'm a huge fan of his, but this is a big no-no in my book.
This set also comes with 2 new songs: Let's Put The X In Sex and (You Make Me) Rock Hard as incentive to buy it. It worked. This is the last KISS album to sell in excess of 2 million copies. The lyrics for Rock Hard are pretty damn clever if you think about it. It can mean so many things. Haha.
Fave New Songs: (You Make Me) Rock Hard <------It's got more cowbell in it!!!! :)
Album cover is meh.
