Performer Notes - Kiss: Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley (vocals, guitar); Gene Simmons (vocals, bass); Peter Criss (vocals, drums).
- Additional personnel: Anton Fig (drums).
- Recorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Robert Conte.
- Digitally remastered by Bill Levenson.
- Released in 1980, UNMASKED is the first album by Kiss not featuring the four original members. Although featured on the album cover, drummer Peter Criss was replaced by session man and David Letterman band member Anton Fig. With disco all but dead and new wave setting in, the group took a pop approach with producer Vini Poncia at the helm. While the record may have alienated hard core fans that were used to the band's heavier sound, the record did manage to appeal to Kiss' ever growing kiddie base.
- The band's lyrical content remained consistent though, as "Is That You?" describes a vixen-like character close to the group. "Shandi", the only single off the record, is a catchy pop ballad featuring Paul Stanley on lead vocals. Lead guitarist Ace Frehley contributes vocally to 2 tracks: "Talk To Me" and "Torpedo Girl", increasing his input in the group compared to previous years. While UNMASKED may not be Kiss's hardest rocking offering, it's certainly a tight, well crafted rock album that is thoroughly enjoyable and showcases the band's talents.

– Customer review on 17/04/2008
Great album, full of great songs, a must listen to album by KISS, if you are an addicted KISS fan, i am very sure you will love this album. A lot of great songs sung by lead guitarist, Ace Frehley, whom is my favourite band member. songs such as two sides of the coin, talk to me and shandi are my favourite on this album. released in 1980, although the album name is unmasked, KISS did not actually unmask themselves at this time.

– Customer review on 28/10/2006
I liked this as a kid, but my parents melted the album. I am not sure how much I would like it if I heard it all again, but can still remember sitting by the stereo in the dining room playing this many times.
It is definitely cheesy, and a lot more pop than some earlier albums, but that never seemed to worry me.
I still have the cover, half a star for that! Call it 3.5.
