Rock and Roll Over 1976

[vía Wikipedia]

Sólo medio año después de publicar Destroyer y un año tras Alive!, Kiss estaba obligado a seguir dando canciones para las emisoras de radio y para la venta de singles. Alive! había sido un éxito total, pero Destroyer no parecía que tuviese mucho éxito de ventas (le faltó tiempo para despegar y convertirse en uno de los discos de Kiss más vendidos). Así que en esta situación, la banda optó por realizar un nuevo disco con un planteamiento diferente a Destroyer. Donde el trabajo de producción se había vuelto una obra de orfebrería (Destroyer), regresaron a rock más directo y contundente. Al estilo de los discos previos al LP en directo. Así surgió Rock and Roll Over.

No es posiblemente el disco más popular del grupo, pero mirando las canciones, uno ve que, a parte de Calling Doctor Love, está lleno de canciones que son muy buenas. Por eso os recomiendo una segunda escucha. Además, vendió tan bien como Destroyer, dejando tiempo para que el siguiente disco se publicase al año siguiente. Sin duda eran unos currantes estos Kiss. Pensar que se grababa en los descansos de las giras, que sólo eran de unos pocos meses.

Only half a year after publishing Destroyer and a year after Alive!, Kiss was forced to continue to provide songs for radio and for saling of singles. Alive! had been a total success, but it appeared that Destroyer had much sales success (it did not have time to take off and become one of the most sold Kiss' LPs). So in this situation, the band opted for a new album with a different approach to Destroyer. Where the production work had become a experimental work (Destroyer), they returned to more direct and powerful Rock in the style of previous albums to the live LP. Thus was the origin of Rock and Roll Over.



It is arguably  not the most popular album of the group, but looking at the songs, one can see that, apart from Calling Dr. Love, is full of songs that are really good. Therefore I recommend a second listening. It sold as well as Destroyer, allowing time for the next album release, following year. No doubt Kiss were hard workers. Imagine that this last two LPs were recorded during breaks from touring, and they were only a few months off-road.
