It was released in 1984 on Mercury Records. ==Background== At the time of the record's issuance, Gene Simmons was pursuing a career in acting. Paul Stanley was thus primarily in charge of the album's production and direction.〔http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=1056247〕 ''Animalize'' marked the only appearance by lead guitarist Mark St. John, who replaced Vinnie Vincent in April 1984. St. John stated that when recording the record, he had utilized his Rockman gear, and that heavy equalization was used to take the "Boston" sound out of the recording. St. John was forced to leave Kiss during the subsequent tour after being diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome. By November 1984, he was out of the band, the third lead guitarist to exit the group in two years. When asked what 'Animalize' meant, Stanley said that people were starting to become more like computers and that "making music by pressing buttons" was no fun. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animalize」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
