LICK IT UP
Lick It Up is the eleventh studio album by American heavy metal band Kiss. On the day of its 1983 release, the band members appeared on MTV without their trademark make-up. It was the first public appearance without make-up by the band since their very early days, and their first for Mercury Records, where they had been signed following their departure from Casablanca Records. -Wikipedia

Show All-
Ultimate Classic Rock
2015 - Kiss' new image and second strong album in a row were enough to return them to some degree of their former glory
-
All Music
Lick It Up is undoubtedly Kiss' best non-makeup album.
-
Mike Ladano
a damn fine “comeback” indeed
-
Honey Blog!
2015 - This is a decent rock album and a good Kiss record
-
2 Loud 2 Old Music
2017 - I found this album to be exceptional and worth the purchase
-
Heavy Metal Overload
2013 - Not quite as dynamic and anthemic as Creatures… but the solid sound of a band that means business. And business was good!
-
Lost in Rock
after a few listens you realise this is one hell of a pop rock record
-
Play it Loud!
2012 - It’s brazenly simplistic, but KISS pull it off (again, thanks to Paul Stanley).
-
Don Ignacio
a crisp album with a few surprisingly good songs on it
-
Heavy Music Headquarters
Lick It Up, actually contained some decent material. Once you got past the shock of seeing their faces, and the iffy Gene Simmons production (he improved in this regard as the years went on), you found some quality made-for-arenas hard rock.

Mark's Record Reviews
The simplicity is wonderful because the riffs are CATCHY.

2018 - by the end of the record, I was sold. KISS was on the rise again!
