Has the hits that I remember from the group kiss I don’t know if it needs to be a double album they could’ve put all the hits in one single album but it’s still good.

At this point, I think KISS is close to having as many "Best of" compilations as they do studio albums.
Just getting this to have a decent mix of KISS studio cuts on vinyl.
I don't know how the packaging will be for this thing; hopefully not a single sleeve with two jammed in vinyl records like they did with MTV Unplugged (let peeve I have) but will say this album cover art is a bit lame. Tommy (fake Ace) & Eric (fake Peter) just look odd in the make up. These weren't the best head shots to use for an album cover--don't even compare to great KISS album art using photos within them like Dynasty, Creatures of the Night & Crazy Nights. It also irks me how Eric is on the cover wearing Peter's make up ---while two lead vocal sang songs BETH & HARD LUCK WOMAN are on this album---just pushing along the sad narrative KISS these days are a brand not a band- -Considering Tommy is only featured on guitar on three tracks (Modern Day Delilah, Hell or Hallelujah & at the time him ghost playing on the track Psycho Circus & Eric Singer also just being featured on the drums on four tracks--God Gave Rock and Roll To You II, Unholy, Modern Day Delilah & Hell or Hallelujah). But then again, Peter is being represented music wise yet no lead Vocal Ace songs are on this record. At least New York Groove should had been added--it was the only single that was a hit from the 78 solo albums.
Set list is surprising with the many 80s hits featured on it, yet Forever, which actually WAS one of their biggest hits isn't on this "Best of". Also omitted is a stapled live song I Love it Loud. (It's even more disappointing that NO songs from the Creatures....L.P. are on this album, since it's one of their top albums.)
Other strange occurrences on this album is that NO songs from their first two studio albums aren't on here. Sure, they've been on many of the other KISS compilations, but they still do songs during their performances from these albums.
I'm a huge fan of the four "new" songs from the international only released compilation from 1982: KISS-Killers, but it's just odd how they threw onto this release "I'm A Legend Tonight" since its a song barely any casual fan would even know--plus it's not the best one: in my opinion, Down on your Knees or Partners in Crime would had been better choices for this album. Again, since this is supposed to be a "Best of" Jungle, which was a top ten rock singles charting track from "Carnival of Souls" would had been a better choice.
I mean, the album is pretty much a nice even representation of great songs recorded by the band in the 70s & 80s---plus two great tracks from the early 90s REVENGE album, but I think they could had pushed the release to be 26 tracks --to have included Jungle, Forever, I Love It Loud, New York Groove, Deuce & Hotter Than Hell.
Still, my favorite KISS compilations of studio songs are Double Platinum and Smashes, Thrashes & Hits. If any of you want to just add a more in-depth collection of KISS hits, the Millennium Collections VOL. I, II & III are best bet, too over this current KISS compilation.
