Title: CAT-ASTROPHIC
Review: This is what happens when the money runs out and an artist tries to second guess what people want to hear from them. In having done so this bunch of tired, un-constructed, non entities masquerading as songs is the result. And it is not pretty let me tell you. Every song goes off in an un-focused direction trying to arrive somewhere in metal territory where it is never going to get. Mild highlights are "Blue Moon Over Brooklyn" whose intent is sweet and heartfelt but is ruined by hideous rhyming (?) couplets such as 'he started crying/said mom was dying' and the grasping at straws remake of "Beth" that has a nice stripped back acoustic treatment (see poolside Phantom of the Park) but non of the sincere emotion of the original cut. Surely for completionary purposes only? I am doubting there are any Kiss fans anywhere who pay homage to this in the way say 'The Elder' is dealt. Avoid if able to resist the challenge of completing the collection.
Is the review positive or negative?
