THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
KISS...Lick It Up (1983)
Lick It Up was released 30 years ago in 1983 and reached number 24 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars. With the exception of the horrendous track "Gimme More" this is a rockin' album. It has 2 exceptional tracks "Young And Wasted" and "A Million To One". Another highlight is "Not For The Innocent." I definitely recommend it
