Kiss's first album of new material in two years, Dynasty (1979), continued the band's Platinum streak. The disco-flavored " I Was Made for Lovin' You" became one of the band's biggest hit singles to date, peaking at No. 11. Session drummer Anton Fig performed almost all the percussion on the album while Criss recovered from an automobile accident. The only song to feature Criss's drumming was "Dirty Living '", on which he also sang lead. [62] The album is also notable due to Frehley singing three lead vocals versus Simmons two, which he put down to increased confidence following the success of his solo album.

I find this one to be one of the problematic stories in this collection in terms of how Dahl writes about women. This is one of many stories where a woman sabotages a man, but in this one, there doesn't seem to be any reason for Mrs. Foster to kill her husband. I find the lady-kills-husband-for-no-apparent-reason plotline problematic because it's a little too reminiscent of the "Eve screwed Adam over and thus women are evil/subordinate." I dunno. But given that this was published in the 1950's, it was probably a given that the woman is the victimized one, so it was fair game for her to seek revenge. In terms of writing style, I think it was just too complex for a short story. Seah, Daniel (June 4, 2021). "Paul Stanley thinks KISS should retire: "We can't do it forever" ". Guitar.com .

In my mind, this one is in the running for "classic children's bedtime story" status, with emphasis on classic because this story of "cheaters never win" is timeless. Well written in the short story style with a solid storyline.

Dahl sets a scene and the reader can tell what's going on without having to be spoon-fed. Clear, but not too obvious with a creative plot twist. Hebblewhite, Mark (October 8, 2023).
