Sounds a little noisy and muddy, but overall I'm in the kiss happy camp. I'm liking it a lot. Has a lot more going on in the songs than sonic boom, and although Paul's vocals aren't circa 96, he sounds not as strained than he did on sonic boom. Best album since Creatures? Umm no, but it's certainly not crap, and a good addition to the KISS catalogue. Hopefully I'll get to hear some of these live on the KISS Kruise :)
