For anybody who cares here is my opinion of Carnival.
This is very different from KISS past or the most current stuff in my opinion.

I have to say my favorite song is Childhood's End - I love hook lines and it has a lot of those (i kinda felt like the words were applicable to me because kiss was always my friend in my childhood)"you were always my friend......Etc."

Next in line I like "Tell Me"....It has a catchy chorus.
Once again this is not the KISS I know and love but I don't hate this new sound either. I don't see it hitting the charts......Not like STP or Nine Inch Nails....But I would not expect it too. A lot of the songs on this album would be good to have in the background of lovemaking --- once again that is just my opinion.
Most of the songs have heart tugging hooklines I feel.-- Almost feels like Desmond Child wrote some of this stuff - does anyone know if he did???
So that is my review for anyone who cares!!! See you all at the garden!!!!! I can't f'n wait!!!!!!!!
