From: L.C.

I have had a chance to read some of the reviews on your page and wanted let my two cents worth be seen.

First I am one of those old Kiss fans that people sometimes get down on because they think we all want RNRAL and Detroit Rock City Over again. Not here I wanted to be rocked in KISS fashion....The eighties yes Kiss was always there but they were gutted, Gene as much as said so. He was off playing movie star and the eighties were a lot of The Paul Stanley Band.

But to the point :Each song reflects the tone of the writer/writers. That is why you get the sound that I saw one reviewer describe as not Peter on drums and not Ace on guitar. Would Bruce Kulick write a song that sounded like Ace Frehley?......NO!

Bottom PC is a fan generated Kiss album "We are one" I wonder how many times Gene has seen his face character looking back at him at conventions and concerts? And it totes the Kiss line " For the Fans".....We are one with our fans our dreams are their dreams, so to speak. Kiss has always taken the position Dream your Dreams and dream them big and go for them. That is what they have done and it has worked and made them what they are.

Psycho Circus- what is a Kiss show and a Kiss Tour?Hmmm Circus maybe? Always melined for music that was teeny bopper and not as musically "in depth" as it should be folks this is Show Business and fortunately for the Kiss fan one we identify with.....Your in the Psycho Circus....I for one am glad to be here!

Within- God Of Thunder , of the 90's What else can you say. We have all read about Gene and heard his points of view... Gene is Gene and would we want him any other way? Not me!

I Pledge- Rock anthem for what rock and roll should and how hard it is to break into , at least how hard it used to be.....I wonder about that today . Now get some baggy pants and a flannel shirt don't wash your hair for a month and sing in mono tone about how pissed off your are now that your rich and famous?????? As I said what Rock "should" be!

Into The Void -Hahaha Ace! the quirky one , But every good song has to have a hook...So does every great band. This is Ace's world and it hits the spot like a good steak! Very good guitar work and bass work and drum work very Kiss feel and updated sounding.....My humble opinion....

You wanted the Best- We did and we got it. I love the speed changes and chord changes here and with each one singing lets the Kiss fan know they are back. You live in Fairy Tales your just a fallen star ... Who died and made you King..... lets the critics know that rock is in a morbid state... that rock and roll needed this reunion....Kiss fans wanted it ... Rock and Roll NEEDED IT!

Raise Your Glasses - Tribute to anyone who ever made their dreams a reality and at the same time a toast to Kiss fans for the success of Kiss ...in a sentence A tribute to Kissdom!

I Finally Found- Lets face it folks Peter has not had the most successful of times since leaving the band and this is what he did found his way back to glory and fame ....hey I Love Peter he is my hero I play drums because of the man. And he has found his way back ......As well as blended with a romantic link to Beth I hear you calling With the orchestration.....! This one had to be there to truly Make a Kiss album.

Dreamin- Huh this was written wit Bruce I feel like for Carnival Of souls but intended as a Paul song we all know what is.....It has all the power ballad features but needed some more lyrics. How many times can you say Dreamin...in row.....

Journey of 1000 Years - After the eighties I can see how you can equate that to a Thousand yrs.....It has the feel as if Gene said during the reunion when the success was evident.....OH Yeah......We all know how he loves and craves the attention......I just wonder who may have helped him write it or was in a reflective mood?

All in all as a Kiss fan on first listen straight through I was worried....now after a week of solid listening as time permitted at least three times or more a day. This is the Kiss I wanted and the one that fits this incarnation of Kiss ...The Kiss as I first learned to know and idolize......and it fits the times as one looks back to the reunion the fans wanted it ....rock and roll need it I just hope the medicine takes affect. "You wanted the Best" you got it in Psycho Circus
