Kiss – Sonic Boom

It’s coming October 6.  Unfortunately, I’ll have go to Wal-Mart to get it.

Hey, guess what?  Paul and Gene say this may be their best since Destroyer!  Wow!  Heh.

This is the first new material in 11 years, and I suspect it’s the first new material recorded in 17 years for which all of the band has actually played the music on it.  (With Tommy and Eric, this does have a solid shot at being decent.  How’s that for faint praise?)

I keep not writing the Kiss post I say I’m going to.  There is a lot to say about self-parody and such.  You know, though, it remains cheap and entertaining.  That’s enough.

I haven’t been to a Kiss concert in more than nine years—the “Farewell” tour—and I’ve got no great drive to go see this tour.  But, if we get a show close by enough for Nathan to see, I’ll make the effort.

Be Sociable, Share!
