Grading the KISS Albums Part 1

The Kousins took a different approach to the albums tonight. In the past, we have ranked them, given them listening parties, “reduxed” the hell out of them, “gladiatored” them, and just about everything else you can think of. But we’ve never graded them.

KISS Producers – The Early Years

The whole gang is back together for a “family reunion.” This week, the Kousins talk about the producers of our favorite band’s albums.

Kousins Gladiator Showdown – Rock and Roll Over Vs. Alice Cooper Goes to Hell

The Kousins, and even Roadie Ray, are trying something new. An idea that Eugene B. Sims brought up from Wheeler’s Dog Podcast, the Kousins tweaked and modified it.

Psycho Circus Redux

Roadie Ray is out again with a business thing. But the Kousins would have loved to have heard his thoughts on this week’s album… Psycho Circus. It was reviewed by the Kousins in December 2020.

Animalize Redux

Roadie Ray is on assignment this week, but the Kousins revisit the 1984 album Animalize, which celebrates its 39th anniversary this week. They listen to it “Listening Party” style with commentary and insight. Kousins Tim & Gary gave their “now listenings,” and while Jem from Alabama didn’t call, we got a call from long-time listener Animalize Redux
