Advantages: Classic KISS

Disadvantages: None

Destroyer is the 5th KISS album and represents a dramatic change in direction from their previous cuts.

The first 3 records were cut (literally) in a matter of weeks and hastily packaged and put out into record stores, followed by intense touring to promote them. When the time came to work on what would turn out to be Destroyer, the band felt a change in producer might benefit them.

The album shows a distinct change in their musial style - out went the 3 minute pop/rock songs and in came lengthy (not overly though), epic tracks. The opener, Detroit Rock City, is a classic example.

Other highlights include: 'God of Thunder', 'Shout it out Loud' and Peter's 'Beth'.

This album (after the success of 'Alive') catapaulted the band into super stardom and remains a KISS classic with tracks still being played live today.
