"Psycho Circus" Album Reviews

From: Jack Bohl

I've heard all the songs now. I group them like this:

EXCELLENT:
Psyco Circus (Paul)
Into the Void (Ace)

VERY GOOD:
We are one (Gene)
I finally found my way (Peter)

FILLER TUNES:
Within (Gene)
Journey of a 1000 years (Gene)

GARBAGE:
Dreamin (Paul)

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
You wanted the best (all)
Raise your glasses (Paul)
I Pledge Allegiance (Paul)

SUMMARY:
According to Kiss, this album was to pick up where Destroyer left off. What happened to that? It sounds like a collaboration of 4 solo albums with very little input from Ace and Peter. I was looking forward to a little of the old Kiss sound and basically got "Crazy Nights" instead. (Most people thought Crazy Nights stunk). Roughly half of the new album is still decent though. More Ace and more Peter instead of crap like "I pledge Allegiance" and "You wanted the best" and we have ourselves a great reunion album. Grade C+
