This is, to me, one of KISS's finest releases. As I've grown up I've heard too many people bad mouth KISS and I call these people "musical snobs". They tend to listen only to things like progressive rock. I like KISS because they played from the heart. Yes, the music is not be technically superb in most ways but they did have some very original ideas on this CD like the guitar playing of Ace Frehely and the little boy voice- very cute. One of the finer songs on the CD is "Hard Luck Woman" written by Peter Criss. Peter is a terrific drummer. He's no Carl Parlmer but then Carl Palmer was no Peter Criss. If you like hard rock and want to add to your audial history from that repertoire then you may just want to get a hold of this CD.
