About this episode
This week Tom & Zeus review the polarizing 1981 concept album by KISS, "Music From "The Elder,"" on their special 150th episode. This is the 9th studio album from KISS and the 15th studio album reviewed by SIOL. Peter Criss is out and Eric Carr is in. Kiss is joined by producer Bob Ezrin, who produced their breakthrough studio album "Destroyer" and was fresh off producing Pink Floyd's "The Wall." Instead of releasing a hard rocking album to rejuvenate their slumping career, Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley, along with producer Bob Ezrin decide to release a concept album based on a story by Gene, called "The Elder." The album was a disaster commercially and critically. The band had a few promotional appearances, but for the first time in their 8 year career, they did not tour to support the album. However, over time the album has cemented itself with bona fide cult status. As usual the guys breakdown and analyze the tracks and rank the songs SIOL style. As always, they then compare the album and the album cover and rank it against the previous studio albums reviewed. See if Tom or Zeus or both or neither think this is rightly judged as a major misfire and a complete dumpster fire. See if someone thinks people are crazy for not seeing its brilliance! Most importantly... Watch out! Or its Sodom & Gomorrah!
