Great guitar riffs, deep penetrating bass, pounding drums, awesome guitar solos, extremely tight lead and backing vocals and, above all, very, very strong songs. The songs, while catchy, grove oriented and well, very Kiss, also show a degree of heaviness never displayed before. The musicianship is tight, the songwriting is fulfilling, and the production is solid. The guitar work throughout the album is cool. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons do an enthusiastic job with the vocal duties. Both of them share the lead vocals on Spit and God Gave Rock n Roll to You II. Stanley sings solely on five songs, and Simmons handles the vocals exclusively on four others. Every one of the tracks is listenable and satisfying. Also, former guitarist Vinnie Vincent co-wrote three of the songs on this album (Unholy, Heart of Chrome, and I Just Wanna). My favorite song from Revenge is the heavy-sounding Unholy. Simmons vocal delivery on Unholy is emphatic and aggressive. I also like the two ballads that are included. God Gave Rock n Roll to You II is Kiss version of a song originally performed by a group called Argent; this ballad features a nice guitar solo. Every Time I Look at You is a pleasing, well-written ballad, too. The spirited and fun I Just Wanna sports cool vocals from Stanley. Carr Jam 1981 contains a proficient and admirable drum solo from Eric Carr. Domino is a pretty good tune with cool vocals from Simmons
