Album of the weekend

Kiss-Monster

This is the most recent Kiss album with new songs on it, and it's clear due to the age of the band members that this will probably be among the final Kiss albums period. With Kiss right now, you know what you are getting. You either love them or hate them. No one is downloading the album and saying "Wow! This is not what I expected!" or buying this album for their first Kiss experience. It doesn't work this way. Is this album good? Yes and no. It might have a good song here or there and it's nice overall, but it's not as good as their classics and it's not even as good as Sonic Boom, their previous album.

I like the songs "Freak" and "Hell or Hallelujah". That's it. Than again, I only liked a few songs off Sonic Boom so nothing changes from there. Paul Stanley once said that he thinks songs like "Modern Day Delilah" and "Hell or Hallelujah" are as good as "Love Gun" or "Detroit Rock City", but because they are newer and not connected to your life in a certain way no one wants to hear them. He's partially right-no one wants to hear these songs at concerts-but he's also wrong. They are still good, but not as good as their classics. That's a good description of this album.
