I've been playing Music From The Elder (1981) a lot lately! I have always liked this album, even dating back to the early 80's when I first got the album, I really dug it. A truly underrated album of theirs, probably the band's most underrated album. The album was both a commercial and a critical flop. However, it definitely has a 'cult status' among many die-hard fans. I remember many fans talking about the album during the early-to-mid 1990's when the band was doing their KISS Konvention tours. Thankfully the fans showed so much love for the album because the band included one of the songs on their Unplugged show, A World Without Heroes.


Anyway, back in the early 80's, when I was still a kid, I used to play this album (among every other KISS album) a LOT when I was playing Ultima II, a Dungeons and Dragons style game on my old Apple IIe. So, along with the memory of playing The Elder while playing games with a medieval theme, I am now playing Skyrim and playing this album in the background brings back memories for me, as well as the album theme really fits with the game.

As a wee lad, this was the first KISS album that really grabbed me. I remember going to the local public library and checking it out over and over and over again. From this one, I expanded to Hotter Than Hell, the ST debut and Destroyer. I've never looked back, been a fan most of my life.

To this day, Dressed to Kill is still a Top 5 KISS album in my book.

1) Room Service
2) Two Timer
3) Ladies in Waiting
