This is a cool KISS album. It features tightly written, well crafted, melodic rock songs. All the songs have cool gritty rythm guitars w/ a clean and clear production. It may be a bit different than a lot of other KISS albums, but still rocks with some pop polish. Way better than Animalize or Crazy Nights because of the songwriting. It's a must in a collection I think. Not to start out with. You should get the first seven or eight albums first.
