Hot in the Shade Reviews:
Trick or Treat 
2009-11-19 - Não tem como se emocionar ouvindo essa musica, musica perfeita. I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, and I'd just assume do it loud. I could lie to myself, but it's true, you know it's true. There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you. Bruce Kulick's coolest solo, ever. True. I lived so long believin' all love is blind, but everything about you is tellin' me this time, chorus, it's forever. Rise to it, good power pop, too. I hear the echo of a promise I made, it's been something like a year. More adventuresome tomorrows. When you're strong you can stand on your own, sounds familiar, it can be done, but those words grow distant as I look at your face. É realmente uma decleração de amor. Lots of contexts and events, looking at your face(s). No, I don't wanna go it alone. That's my essential message. Trick or treat. I see my future when I look in your eyes. Paul Stanley, never took 'em too seriously 'til I got closer. Rise to it. Closer, closer. It took your love to make my heart come alive. Alive, alive. Brave. Nasci escutando kiss morrerei escutando Kiss! Chorus, it's forever.
The end of 80's era KISS. 
2009-11-18 - This is a pretty good CD overall. While it may lack some of the dynamics of KISS's earlier 80's works such as Creatures Of The Night, Lick It Up, and Animalize, it was still a solid entry in the KISS library of music, and it featured some really good songs, including the great ballad by Paul Stanley, Forever. The album also featured a song sung by drummer Eric Carr, Little Caesar. It would also, sadly, be the last album that Carr would drum on, as he died a couple of years after the making of the album. Hot In The Shade could be looked at as a mile marker signalling the end of the Hair Metal sounds of the past decade. Soon, Grunge music would make the scene and rule the airwaves, and gone would be the fun, wild, crazy, and carefree sounds of the Eighties.
Standout tracks are Rise To It, Hide Your Heart, Read My Body, Love's a Slap In The Face, Forever, Cadillac Dreams, The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away, and Little Caesar.
Maybe too commercial, but good
2009-09-25 - I cannot consider myself as a KISS fan, but I grow up drawing their make ups in my notebooks when I was five. Hot in the shade isn't my favorite recording of KISS, I like better Revenge, Unmasked, Destroyer, Unplugged... but Hot in the shade contains two or tree songs very good, the another ones not famous but very clear production, nice melodies and good lyrics.
NEEDS REMASTERING
2009-06-16 - this cd has 15 songs- some better than others. more of a straight up rock cd than other KISS releases. remastering would help it. does sound disjointed. never figured out why they stopped here with the remastering project.maybe remixing this one, crazy nights and unmasked. as for reviewers talking about the "read my body" def leppard comparisions. "all hell's breakin' loose" on lick it up and "get all you can take" on animalize. weren't both of these before "pour some sugar on me". mutt lange also wrote"lovin' every minute of it" for loverboy before he and joe elliot wrote "sugar".in fact "all hell's breakin' loose" was also before "i'm the man" and "bring the noise" by anthrax,so were they following trends or setting them???this is more of a straight rock album and not as heavy as as they usually are,but it's not the pop/polished rock/metal sound of crazy nights either.
Sorry but this ain't good enough 
2009-03-05 - I'll have to disagree with some reviewers concerning the non-make-up years: Lick It Up, Animalize and Revenge blow Hot In The Shade away. Far. Ok, HITS sound a little less commercial than Crazy Nights, less keyboards and all, but are the songs any good? Few. Paul sounds like he's trying too hard for a hit, something he eventually got with Forever. To this day I feel this song has been a terrible mistake - it forever associated Kiss with a meaningless silly ballad. Why in the world does Paul need to write songs with Michael Bolton or Desmond Child??? You Love Me To Hate You hurts my poor ears. At least Gene has better songs but even them aren't that good. This is KISS when good ideas had run out and Ace and Peter were terribly missed. I guess the best thing on it is the cover!
