This week Tom & Zeus open their 4th season by reviewing the 1977 classic KISS album, Love Gun! This was KISS' 6th studio album and maybe the peak of their career. KISS was just named the most popular band in America in a Gallup Poll, beating out The Eagles, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. The album was shipped platinum and was KISS' first album to reach the top 5 on Billboard 200, reaching number 4.

The legendary album cover was painted by Ken Kelly who had painted the album cover for Destroyer. There was also the infamous cardboard cutout LOVE GUN included in the packaging. The band continued their winning formula with Eddie Kramer, who produced this album. KISS also received co-producer credit for the first time.

This platinum album was the first album to feature all 4 members of the band handle lead vocal duties, when Ace Frehley sang his signature song, Shock Me. The opening riff of I Stole Your Love, the legendary opening piano/keyboard of Christine Sixteen and the title track, Love Gun which Paul Stanley called "quintessential KISS" and many of the KISS Army's favorite deep cuts make this album review one of a kind.

As usual the guys breakdown and analyze the tracks and rank the songs SIOL style. As always they then rank the album and the album cover against the previous KISS studio albums reviewed.

So don't be a Hooligan and make us pull out our Love Gun!
