Title: FAILS TO RISE TO IT
Review: Certainly you can sense that changes were a foot, but with a half baked production, Gene's material sinking even lower (if possible)and Paul straining his vocal chords over less than convincing copies of more popular acts ideas there is too little to redeem this one. Of course there is always one shining light in the depths of darkness this time a mega ballad called "Forever" which managed a good placing on the mainstream charts and allowed the band to hit the road (promotors were un-convinced that a tour could be supported until the single charted). "Hide Your Heart" has Bon Jovi written all over it spoilt by an over obvious chorus, "Read My Body" a sub-standard Def Leppard wannabe, and na na na's, ah ah ah's and woah woaha's punctuating any other song that lacked a lyric to finish it off properly. In my mind the darkest hour musically for the mighty Kiss. Add last to your collection. Even the cover sucks the big one.
