I picked it up this morning, and I have to say that I like it a lot. I find the songs catchier than those on 'Sonic Boom'. How it compares to 'Creatures of the Night', I couldn't really say. 'Creatures' isn't one of my favorite KISS albums. And as for the comments ridiculing the lyrics...would anyone expect anything more from KISS after all these years?! No lyric is too juvenile for KISS. I never pay attention to what they're saying until they reach the chorus anyway. LOL
