HOT IN THE SHADE
Hot in the Shade is the 15th studio album by American hard rock band Kiss, released in 1989. It is the first Kiss full studio album since 1981's Music from "The Elder" to feature lead vocals from someone other than Paul Stanley or Gene Simmons, with drummer Eric Carr singing lead on "Little Caesar". It is also the final Kiss album to feature Carr in its entirety before his death in November 1991. Just like its predecessor album, Crazy Nights, Hot in the Shade also features keyboards and synthesizers. -Wikipedia

All Music
The songwriting is still unfocused, but at least the keyboards that plagued Crazy Nights had thankfully been put away, and the production isn't as pop-oriented as most of their other '80s albums.

Mike Ladano
Hot in the Shade represented a better mixture of ingredients, just without the discipline to mould them into 10 (just 10, not 15!) good songs.

Decibel Geek
2016 - Love it or hate it, the album has great moments and you can’t fault Bruce Kulick‘s guitar work or Eric Carr‘s powerful drumming.

Metal Excess
Hot In Shade is a fine 1980s glossy slab of hard rock

Play it Loud!
2013 - it does the one thing that music should never do, and that is bore me
-
Poffy's Movie Mania
2015 - Lacking cohesion or direction, Hot In The Shade is a Hot MESS In The Shade.

Mark's Record Reviews
it's disgustingly clear how predictable and disposable the songs really are
