"It is a unique and distinctive album. The band developed its own unique style, characterized by a mixture of post-punk, gothic rock, folk and ambient. They uses a variety of instruments to create a unique soundscape. This album was a commercial success and brought the band international recognition"  [+]  Reply

"Default KISS. Though the terminology really didn't exist back then that is exactly what Rock And Roll Over represents. THIS is what KISS is all about.
