 Where the hell did this come from?!?!?!? October 7, 2009

When I heard of another KISS album, I was wary to say the least. Psycho Circus was decent, and given the gap since 1998 I thought that would be it. This album is a real treat and echoes KISS at their 70s best, but with the benefit of 35 years in the business, it is strangely retro but refined to perfection. The songs are really strong, not like most of the latter Kiss albums which were esentially vehicules for brilliant singles. Simmons is great on 'Too Hot, Too Cold', Singer really impresses with the vocals on 'All For The Glory', Thayer is amazing in 'When Lightening Strikes' and is obviously a massive Ace Frehley fan with the homage-like sounds he lends to the solos, and Stanley is just amazing on the end track 'Oh Yeah'. Give this album a couple of listens and it'll make everything from Music from the Elder onwards seem like a bad dream and you've awoken to find that KISS are just as brilliant as you always thought they were.
Definitely worth the wait. A great mix, all killer, no filler. October 12, 2009

I was sceptical about this album because prior to all new releases Gene and Paul would always say this is the best thing they have done since Destroyer. Well it was no surprise when they saying the same thing again. However, this time it is different. The reviews have been consistently strong and based on several listens I am wholeheartedly in agreement. It is absolutely fantastic.
br /I do not think that Modern day Delilah should have been the first single - single as such - as it is, in my opinion, not the strongest on the album. For once, I am more of a fan of Gene's songs ont he album - true many of the songs were co-written with Paul and this could be the reason why there are so many good songs. There's not been many collaborations (Gene and Paul) since the 70s and for this album they have got together and this is reflected in the songwriting. Granted it will not set the world on fire in terms of songwriting but for a KISS album and a good classic rock album this is right up there.
br /"Hot and Cold" is one of my favourites and I also like "All for the Glory", "I'm and Animal" and "When Lightning Strikes".
br /Paul's songs are strong as well but with Gene's he has raised the bar and I think that the Gene-sung songs are on the whole better than Paul's.
br /There is some cheese on this album but it's good cheese - "Stand" and "Say Yeah" are two such examples.
br /Buy it if you have ever liked KISS, try it if you like classic rock. This is not all-70s, if anything it has more 80s sound to it. Not late 80s but Creatures/ Killers era sound, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion.
OH MY GOD - THIS IS CLASSIC KISS October 23, 2009

I am a Kiss fan from the days of Dressed to Kill, Destroyer etc and after The Elder, decided Kiss had parted company with my Kiss values. After watching them live many times over the last 30 years, I couldn't bring myself to buying another Kiss CD. I was told by a good friend that this album was worth listening to. I hesitated and took the plunge... By the time I'd finished my first listen of every track I thought I'd been transported back to 1977.
br /
br /This CD is without doubt an incredible return to form of old. Crisp, sweet, classic Kiss and what a difference Gene and Paul have made. Whatever they're on, I want more. This CD is now embedded in my player and it will take a very good CD from any of my fav bands to get it off.
br /
br /In short, CLASSIC KISS. Well done lads, worth every penny!
You wanted the best...... October 28, 2009

I was initially a bit sceptical about the album because I didn't know how it would work out with Tommy and Eric stepping in. In all honesty it wouldn't have mattered because I would have bought the album anyway.
br /
br /It is a fantastic album with a modern yet traditional sound and I can't say enough good things about it - it just keeps getting better and better the more I listen. Eric has great vocals and the quality is just obvious on all tracks from all members.
br /
br /Number 1 album in the US and the same in Europe, it says it all. There is no one to top this band.......
Awesome, surprised even a diehard fan!! Well done boys! September 18, 2009

I was hoping for great things, but was not prepared for the quality of music. This really is classic KISS! A mix of their history rolled into one. Tommy plays homage to Ace so many times but pulls it off because he can not only play his chops but adds real personality of his own in the solos.
br /Gene is back on form with great lyrics, and Paul is his usual consistently great self. Even the songs which Eric and Tommy sing on work well.
br /You wanted the best? Well, this time they did it!!
