Cat # 1 is the second studio album by the American hard rock band Criss , released in 1994 .
background
Together with the musicians Mark Montague (bass), Kirk Miller (lead guitar), Mike Stone (vocals), Peter Criss, former drummer and founding member of Kiss , founded the group Criss in 1992 , with which he released the EP Criss in October 1993 .
During the summer of 1993 the band recorded more pieces, which were then released in August 1994 on the LP or CD Cat # 1 . With the exception of the songs The Cat and What You're Doin ' , the tracks on the EP were also part of Cat # 1 . This also applied to the song Beth , which the group had re-recorded in an acoustic version. Beth gave Kiss the first big radio hit in 1976.
The album cover showed the drummer with half his face made up in Kiss make-up.
reception
The album achieved no commercial success and received no awards. The reviewer Jan Jaedike wrote in the German magazine Rock Hard :
“ This kind of honest, ballad-heavy hard rock that the would-be old master presents to us here has been outdated for as long as the calls for a Kiss reunion in the original line-up. With this album at the latest, Criss shows impressively that he cannot keep up with his lively former comrades for a second. The missed new recording of 'Beth', which was already on the mini-CD, is recycled again, and the strongest track of the time 'Show Me', sung by guitarist Mike Stone, can be found here, as well as the terrible ' Good Times', which brings back foul memories of old solo records by Mr. Criss. Otherwise, the lower average is confidently. What saves the disc from completely crashing are Peter's scratchy vocals, which still give some songs a bit of a bite, and the occasional translucent potential of his backing band, which is also joined by a certain Ace Frehley on some tracks. The only thing missing would have been that the record company donated a "Here is as much original Kiss in it as there is Kiss itself" sticker. "
