To be honest the best thing about this CD is that Ace and Peter is back.Enough said. With the circus atmosphere on the first track,it realy sets a standard for the album. Hello Paul, this is great,and we want Psycho circus.A musical horror theme, with a wall of sound. 19 Years have gone,since i fell in love with a Kiss CD.Unmasked was the last one. Ace kicks ass with his guitar.We love the Psycho Circus.Over to within which is a let down in a way.It`s demonic in a way,but it`s to weird and sounds like a left over from Carnival of Souls.It have beat,but please bring in some Ace solo, which could have save this song.I Pleadge etc, with Paul on vocal, have great singing and a wall of sound which sounds like a sequel to the Unmasked album. Into the Void At last an Ace Frehly song which bring us into a grove, which has been missing for many years.Greatness,is so groovy, and Space Ace.It`s so grrrooooooovy. Yeah,Ace kicks ass.And the Space Ace solo, i have no words.He puts`s in the tune that i have been missing for 19 years in Kiss. We are one. Gene brings back memories to his solo album. The chorus, the symphonic touch, a demon with the soft side.I love this track, a hit, mark my word.You wanted the Best. Its a party starter.Aaaaah Peter is singing, and thats enough for me.Its a new Rock and Roll anthem.And a Ace solo which delivers.What more can you ask for.Raise your glasses, its an okei track,but i think is a letdown, except from the chorus.Surprise to many Kiss fans.My favourite track I finally found my way, with Ezerin on piano.I realy love this track. I cant help it, im a simple person. You have been missed so much Peter.If you don`t play this one when you come to Norway, i will never forgive Kiss, Its a crowdpleaser,and Peter sings with so much pain.Beth. I hear you calling, but please let Peter sing more.My alltime Kiss favourite has been Hard Luck whoman, Beth, and I finally found way to you. Thank you Peter you tear my soul apart. More Peter on the next CD, and please give him a writing credit. Dreamin is a let down. Its slow and boring, except from Paul singing.Genes Journey of the 1000 years,its great. A worthy last track.Its pure Gene magic.
This is is a first spontaneous listneing rewiev, but Kiss is back in my record collection after 19 years delay.
