There was some criticism.  However JPJ had used keyboards quite a bit on 
past albums (No Quarter on HOTH comes to mind).  I think Zep fans just 
saw it as them trying to continue to grow as a band.

Also, ITTOD didn't sound like it was selling out.  Dynasty (and 
Unmasked) did.

In the future please don't compare KISS and Zep.  There isn't any.  Zep 
is the stuff of legend and has *true* quality in the music.  KISS, by 
comparison, wrote about 7 albums worth of really great material.  The 
rest is, arguably, crap.
