"Psycho Circus" Single Reviews

From: Thomas Kotch

I downloaded the song last night....What to think??? I guess I was expecting the double-strumming power chords and characteristic PC drumming that I grew up on. I stopped buying Kiss records after "Dynasty" so perhaps this is the direction they were evolving into at that point. Still, give me sex romps (ala Dr. Love) or party songs (like Tomorrow and Tonight) rather than something like this which is more befitting Ozzy. It's a good song...nice vocals by Paul and a good (albeit short) Ace solo. Drumming doesn't sound like Peter. If they've pulled another Unmasked by using studio musicians and saying it's KISS then I'll really think that Gene and Paul are only interested in $$$$. If they really wanted to cash-in they'd give us the rowdy, somewhat sloppy style with which we grew up. When I listen to Kiss, I don't want to think...I want Strutter. Let's hope the Ace tune give us what we want.
