SHOUT IT OUT LOUD (Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons/Bob Ezrin)

"Alright Detroit. You wanted the best, you got the best, the hottest band in the world, KISS."

Whoo, the night's begun and you want some fun
Do you think you're gonna find it, think you're gonna find it
You got to treat yourself like number one
Do you need to be reminded, need to be reminded

It doesn't matter what you do or say
Just forget the things that you've been told
We can't do it any other way
Everybody's got to rock and roll, oh, ooh, oh, ooh

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud

If you don't feel good, there's a way you could
Don't sit there broken hearted, sit there broken hearted
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
Get your party started, get your party started

Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise
They're too old to really understand
Let's get rowdy with the girls and boys
'Cause it's time for you to take a stand, yeah, yeah

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud, yeah, yeah
Shout it, shout it, shout it out

Come on, shout it, shout it, shout it out loud, you've got to have a party
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud, come on, turn it up louder
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud, come on, everybody shout it now
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud, come on, everybody
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud, oh yeah
Shout it, shout it, shout it out

"Whoa yeah, whoo."


This album was first released everywhere in the world except in North America. Due to his great success (Platinum), the record company decided to release it in North America but not until the band's second trek in North America. It was a commercial flop, his Billboard chart peak (#77) is the third worst in the band history infront of Kiss (#87) and Hotter Than Hell (#100), but those two albums were the first ones from the band and they weren't known at the time. It only stayed a total of 5 weeks on the charts and ties Carnival Of Souls-The Final Sessions (for understandable reasons) for the worst time spent in the Top 200. "Shout It Out Loud" was taken live from Detroit Tiger Stadium June 28, 1996, some says that it's only a remix from the Alive II version, which I doubt. This is the fifth KISS compilation record in a row, Alive III in '93, Kiss My Ass-Classic Kiss Regrooved in '94, MTV Unplugged in '96, You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!! also in '96 and of course Greatest KISS in '97. In my opinion, it's the worst album cover in the band's history (who thought they could beat Asylum?!?!). This album was release two weeks before in Canada for unknown reasons.
