Music reviews of You Wanted the Best You Got the Best
Music Review: Disappointing rehash of Alive! and Alive II material.
Rating: 3 Stars
I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed as when this tripe came out. Sure I bought it to complete the collection, but all You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!! is is 8 songs taken from Alive! and Alive II mixed with "previously unreleased" live versions of Room Service, Two Timer, Let Me Know, and Take Me. Then, as an added bonus, a decent, 17 1/2 minute interview called "KISS Tells All" with (unfortunately) the most annoying and unfunny "comedian" today, Jay Leno. The tone of the band in this interview is uplifting and shows that the boys are really happy being together again. The songs are all great here (after all, most of them came from 2 of KISS' best albums) and being that they are the hits, what more can you ask for? The cover of You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!! is the highlight of the album though. I would have to rank it as one of KISS' better covers and certainly the best since the comic strip cover of 1980's Unmasked (NOTE: I like it so much in fact that I got a variation of it tattooed on my left upper arm last year). Great photos inside, too! Polygram had to be trying to get back some of the money they lost with the last few KISS albums that sold poorly because this is a blatant consumer rip-off. Instead of releasing a whole new collection, why didn't they add these "new" versions of the songs on to the 1997 Remastered releases of Alive! and Alive II as bonus songs? It's a simple answer--$$. This trend would continue with the 1997 release of Greatest KISS. I could give this album a good rating because the material is good (even though the majority of it is available elsewhere), but I can't overlook the motives behind releasing You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!! and this really hampers my rating.
