KISS Album Gladiator Showdown – Dynasty vs Unmasked

The Kousins have done album showdowns before. But, in some instances, that just doesn't seem fair to some of the songs on the two albums.

This week, Roadie Ray commands 1979's Dynasty while Kousin Gary defends that album's sibling, 1980's Unmasked. Two albums, both some of the most polarizing in the Katalog, that fans either love or hate. Most people aren't on the fence about them. Kousin Tim and Kousin Marvin both like each album, so they have the unenviable task of judging. There were some ties, so look for those on Twitter and cast your vote.

How is this different from most album battles the Kousins have done? After a coin flip, the winner can either go first or defer their pick. The first picker chooses their "gladiator" or song for battle. After a short listen, the opposing picker chooses the song (or gladiator) to battle the round's opening song. The other two Kousins then vote for the winner. The two pickers can change their vote if they choose to, as well. Whichever song has the most votes... wins. If there's a tie, it goes to Twitter for tiebreaker votes. If that doesn't make sense, just give a listen and it will become as clear as mud.

The Kousins gave their now listenings. And a call from a long-time listener/first-time caller, Jim from Alabama!
