"Shout It Out Loud" is a song by the American hard rock group Kiss, originally released on their 1976 album, Destroyer.

[3] The Alive II single, which was described by Billboard magazine as a "raucous rocker" that "catches the excitement and energy of the live show,"[4] is 23 seconds shorter than the album song due to the removal of audience chant "We want Kiss".

[6] The version found on Smashes, Thrashes & Hits is 16 seconds longer, as the chorus repeats and the song ends with "Shout it!".

While the song would break into the American Billboard Top 40, peaking at #31, it would prove to not be as successful as its predecessor was but would remain in the band's concert set lists for almost every tour from that point on.

A music video was made for the live version of the song from the 1996 concert in Tiger Stadium, from the Alive/Worldwide Tour.

Cash Box said that the studio version is "straight ahead rock, complete with power riffs" and that "the vocals are clean and strong.

"[8] It called the live single version a "show-stopping concert [number], complete with explosion and crazed crowds.

"[9] Record World said that the studio version "shows the group becoming more musical without losing any of the raw edge that has become their trademark.
