DON'T

It's terrible....

This is coming from a guy that used to worship these guys and was a diehard from 1975

  Well im confused!! Where did you get the notion that it MIGHT be good??

Ok - allow me to explain...

They were crap in 70,s
crap in 80.s
crap in 90,s
The pinball is crap
They look like crap  ( the make up was always SO lame!)

  Now why on earth would you think that things may have changed??

No backlash from me Gav 

You were brought up in jolly old England and probably you don't understand real music with all the "New Wave" 80's trash still running around your head

 

If this is the best a once classic band can put out in TEN F*CKING YEARS since their last one it's time to stop.

Sorry Nino....but the only positive on the CD is Tommy's lead....it's AWESOME

Actually, Tommy's playing is annoying and is the reason I particularly don't like this album - He is totally unoriginal. He SOUNDS and PLAYS like a "poor man's Ace" - At least you could easily identify the previous guitarists, as they brought their own style. Remember - Tommy played in an 80's metal band called "Black and Blue", that were heavily influenced by KISS. He then formed a KISS cover band "Cold Gin" - and toured for years. So instead of developing a unique style of his own - he has just been an Ace Frehley clone for 20 years. It is glaringly obvious on this album.

Eric Singer is my favorite "modern" drummer - and he is not "imitating" Peter Criss as he is technically a FAR superior drummer. You can see that Eric adds his own style and feel to the songs - a lot more bombastic and powerful. If Eric was ever accused of imitating a drummer - it would be Eric Carr - similar style. Both Erics are totally different drummers than Peter Criss.

No matter what - Sonic Doom is not what we were promised. Another "let down".

Time to pull out KISSOLOGY and watch the "real" KISS..
