This disc gets here at Amazon cope 4.5 star average. My compliments to the writers and fans. Under hard-nosed kiss-and Hard Rock fans, the solo album by no means regarded as highlight or Fan-Fave.
The 4 Kiss types brought "78 the same day her 4 solo discs out, then a giant marketing gimmick, but without financial success. Ace stood for in my opinion successful work, and very heavy. The long iron from Gene and Paul I know hardly, somehow I do not trust the roast. Paul is definitely always been the mastermind of the chapel as a singer as well as songwriter and showman, as well as a mouthpiece.
Here we regard Song number and playing time a typical album of 70s. And for me there is really only one Filler: "Hold me, touch me" or as the shallow sweet sülzige part called. Had also of late Scorpions, Eros Rammelzotti or Modern Talking to come. Away with it! The rest is first-class material, typical Stanley Pop Metal, with some flip side to the then approaching new decade. The album was also discussed turning point after 6 studio LPs of Kiss were quite raw and earthy. Here at "Paul Stanley" it goes to a good deal of ground. Without geschleckt to sound. Just crazy! A reasonable production and first-class band in the back (overlap among 4 Kissern did not exist at that time on the 4 works, so no one helped with any). Pair quieter passages plus a lot of rock, Drive and Emotion. Love lyrics are not exactly short. Paul halt. Then 26 and had a lot to tell.
For me at the moment (opinion changes are indeed allowed) clearly my favorite work from the entire house Kiss. In the iPhone playlist one can og Filler (which appeared as a single) omit. A Stinker is even allowed.
After the '78 solo grooves then came in 1979 in May the very criticized LP "Dynasty" with the smash hit "I Was Made For Loving You" (or also called doodoodoo doodoodoodoodoodoo). And then "Unmasked", yet a tad edgeless. But both with several beads including and also here with Mr.Stanley as the mastermind of the best contributions.
1978, eh a very good year for the hard rock / heavy metal scene. If I may refer to the following tips: UFO with "Obsession", Judas Priest with "Stained Class" and "Killing Machine", Rainbow with "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll", first album of Van Halen, to name a few selected to call. My God, how happy I would then have been old enough to take the time to actively experience. "
If you would ask me for the best shouters the industry, so I would call: Paul Stanley, Phil Lynnott, Robert Plant, James Hetfield, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Tom Araya, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Phil Mogg, Glenn Hughes, David Coverdale, Roger Daltrey .... 9 of them I've seen "Live in Concert" and am proud of it.
I would be interested if there are many Kiss fans do not know the 4 solo discs. For me, it took a long time but I am happy just now.
