New Kiss Album...

Man, I'm sorry to say it Ed, but this release sounds TERRIBLE!!! I listened to what I could stand of the links, and Paul is just toast. I'm a die hard fan, but he just doesn't have a voice left. It broke my heart to hear the clips. Time to throw in the towel I'm afraid.

As long as you dont come back in a week with an apology

I don't like the clips either.

Not going to happen on this one. I actually listened to Eclipse twice today while I was washing the White Dragon...









That's my truck's name. Lol!!

LOL !!!!

Sonic Boom was decent but Monster doesn't impress me from the clips at all.

Lol! My white dragon looks a little different. It's a 2010, 4-door Dodge Ram with a HEMI!!! I love it.

Their back catalog is second to none. Hopefully when I hear the full CD I can take a song or two that I might like.

Monster is Paul Stanley's Trial By Fire, huh?

No. TBF still had Perry singing all of the tracks. Paul is in the back seat on this one. There are way more Gene songs here than normal, and I think the new guitarist even sings on at least a couple of them. Paul's sprinkled in here and there, but even with studio magic he sounds terrible. TBF had some great songs too, hooker!

That's the problem!

Sounds like the album isn't what YOU wanted, but are those Gene songs any good, and will the fans, in general, like it? Personally, I'm with you, as I'm a HUGE Paul Stanley fan. If the album doesn't showcase him almost exclusively, I probably wouldn't like it. But that doesn't mean it can't still be good.

Yeah, 2. WYLAW and IHSBYH. Rockers? NONE! Just a noticeably damaged voice unable to actually belt out lyrics for a rock song. His subsequent touring, releases and special performances since TBF is undeniable proof that his voice is in tatters.

I think Paul has 7 songs on it.
