As a result, this comes with two critiques: 1) The 70s KISS studio albums were never known for their great production and 2) The tracks sound so similar to older KISS tracks, they almost sound like cover songs with new lyrics. Lordi does all of the Gene Simmons vocal tricks (the first song opens with Gene’s signature “Yeah, Yeeay”). 70s KISS fans will fall head over heels in love with this effort. They recorded the album using the equipment of that time period. The album is a love letter to KISS and sounds like it was recorded back in 1975. Album #1 is ‘ Skelectric Dinosaur’ and I was immediately shocked by what I heard. The first three albums in the seven-album collection is the most experimental and nearly a complete deviation from Lordi’s signature sound. ![]() Despite there being 7 albums, I was eager to review this new release. Got a guitar pick and a signed poster that is displayed proudly in my home. I can proudly say I attended their first American concert at a festival in May 2007. It’s amazing to think they created seven distinct albums over the course of one year. Before beginning this review of the breakdown of each album, I will state that having heard all these albums several times over, this is the most ambitious and impressive feat that I have ever seen from any artist. Rather than just rest on their laurels, Lordi decided to expand upon this fictional storyline and actually create albums that sound like they were produced in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. All the songs were new and showcased Lordi experimenting with various styles of music. Back in early 2020, Lordi released a fictional “greatest hits” album called ‘ Killection’ that imagined what the band would sound like if they had released music in the 70s through the 90s. Lordi have returned with no less than a seven-album box set, with almost all new material. This is going to be a long and extensive review. I should preface this review with a disclaimer. ![]()
