I've been a KISS fan for 21 yrs., not a "run of the mill" fan, a real fan. I don't enjoy reading people comparing KISS to bands like Metallica, AIC or any others. These bands grew up listening to the only true"GODS OF THUNDER" KISS! I didn't buy into the bootleg stuff because I don't feel it's fair to the band or the fans, so I've owned COS for 4 days now.

I have to say it is the best I've heard them sound!!! Ever ! Bar- none!!! Paul's vocals were the most surprising on the whole thing! They were incredible!!!!!

I read some of the other reviews, some said Gene's vocal sounded more "Evil" . Where have these people been? Gene Simmons is known for his "Evil" sounding vocals! The differance is the music not the vocals! I give the record an A- only because I really didn't like "I Walk alone" a whole lot. I know it was Bruce's first shot at singing, I just didn't care for it. Thanks for Giving us a chance to voice our opinions!!
