Negative Positive
Title: Ugh.
Review: I'm old school. I like the original three. I liked Alive! and Destroyer. I started getting uncomfortable during the Hot in the Shade/Unmasked period. This album is heavy on songs written by Gene. You can tell he manufactured the thing from beginning to end. (Not that that's entirely bad, I happened to like his solo album, and "Going Blind" might be my favorite KISS song.) But here he seems to want to capitalize on that Alice in Chains-Soundgarden vibe, and it just ends up coming off so derivative and kinda pathetic. Quite frankly, it's a little Rob Halford-esque. KISS is SOOOOO much better than this. I long for the days of "She's a dancer, a romancer/ I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer..." and "Baby, baby, don't ya hesitate, cuz I just can't wait..." Humor. Fun. Remember them?
