"Psycho Circus" Album Reviews

From: Birgitta Seander

I think this is the best kiss album for 20 years. But why only ten tracks ? I think 44 minutes are way too short but back to the tracks.

Psycho Circus: Real cool start. Heavy riff and stunning bass. This must be one of Kiss´ strongest album openers for years. Great vocal from Paul and Ace is back in that old good style.Just listen to his solo.

Within: Freaky start. This is aside Dreamin´ the albums weakest track.Gene isn´t a demon any longer, sounds a bit like something from COS. Throwawaytrack.

I Pledge Allegiance: A real rocker from Paul. The lyrics are a bit corny but the riff sounds classic. Gonna be a great show-stopper.

Into The Void: THis is the song we´ve waited 20 years for. Cool riff. That Lespaul into Marshall sound from Aces´ guitar. Top-notch vocal from the spaceman.

We are one: Poppy tune. Medium tempo. If you´ve heard this once you can sing the chorus. The next single?

YWTB:Great partyrocker with vocal performences of all four. Cool calland response solo from Ace and Paul. Steady drumbeat from Peter opens the track.

Raise your Glasses: Good verses and twopart vocals but the chorus is a bit too commercial.

I Finally Found my way: Here it is! The new Beth. This sounds like something from his solo album but so much better. I might have been even better if they played acostic guitars on it instead if orchestral arrangements on it.

Dreamin: Middle-Eastern kind of riff. Good vocal, cool chorus. But not my coup of tea.

Journey of a 1000 years: Wow! This is The elder again! I loved that album and i love this song. The psycho circus solo comes again in the end with orchestra. Real cool

I am completely happy with this album. This was more than I expected. I give 4.5 out of 5
