What a fun fuckin� album. Guys� now this is classic KISS. I�ve been a �fan� since 75. I bought my first Kiss LP at about age 7. I�m 42 now. My parents looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears. But� they bought the album for me. From that moment on� I had �em all. Never joined the Kiss Army. Should have � wanted to � but I was 7or 8. But� the music and the whole vibe from the LP�s were good enough for me at that age. Although� I do remember buying the hell out of the Kiss cards later on. And buying the first couple Grooves issues right off the rack at Joe�s Variety Candy Store in Flushing, Queens. Wish I had them now. Memories. Good memories. Had this little German Deli next door. I went to Joe�s� bought the Grooves and then went next door and bought a nice German pickle for the walk home from school. Now of course � that was when a kid COULD walk home from school� especially in Flushing, Queens. But that�s another subject all together. I�ve followed Kiss through all the years as a �regular� fan. All the LP�s have something to offer. I�ve never heard a Kiss album that sucked. Different? Yes. Strange (Elder)? � Yes. But never bad. This LP sounds as though it should have been released after Rock & Roll Over. It�s that good. It really did transport me back to the 70�s. Although I must admit � I miss Peter & Ace. That would have been icing on the cake. BUT� that said� Tommy and Eric fit like a glove. Like Eric Carr did. Thanks guys� I needed that. Peter Salamone Dallas, TX (Formally of Flushing)
