180 Gram heavyweight vinyl with Download. 'Destroyer' is one of Kiss' most experimental studio albums, but also one of their strongest and most interesting. Alice Cooper / Pink Floyd producer Bob Ezrin was on hand, and he strongly encouraged the band to experiment - there's extensive use of sound effects (the album's untitled closing track), the appearance of a boy's choir ('Great Expectations'), and an orchestra-laden, heartfelt ballad ('Beth'). But there's plenty of Kiss' heavy thunder rock to go around, such as the demonic 'God of Thunder' and the sing-along anthems 'Flaming Youth,' 'Shout It Out Loud,' 'King of the Night Time World,' and 'Detroit Rock City' (the latter a tale of a doomed concert-goer, complete with violent car-crash sound effects). But it was the aforementioned Peter Criss ballad, 'Beth,' that made Destroyer such a success; the song was a surprise Top Ten hit (it was originally released as a B-side to 'Detroit Rock City'). Also included is a song that Nirvana would later cover ('Do You Love Me?'), as well as an ode to the pleasures of S&amp;M, 'Sweet Pain.' 'Destroyer' also marked the first time that a comic-book illustration of the band appeared on the cover, confirming that the band was transforming from hard rockers to superheroes.
