I have had a chance to listen to the KISS album about 4 times now. I am ready to give you my unbiased review. The album is extremely cool but they kind of threw a curve at me. They sound like a band called MY SISTER"S MACHINE; a band I happen to like quite a bit. Two words: KICK ASS. I think the first 4 (Hate, Rain, Tell me, and Childhood's end) start the album off great. They happen to be my favorite. Paul has an edge to his voice that I never thought he could have, but I was really impressed.
