1.5 very poorTheCompilationMan768 | November 25th 10

ACE FREHLEY is the best, a hard-rocking classic. PAUL STANLEY comes in second, with a great mix of rockers and ballads, with interesting and professional compositions. PETER CRISS is the underdog, with a bluesy-type album that, while more than a bit dated, is still heartfelt and true from the seemingly most down-to-Earth member of KISS. Then there's GENE SIMMONS...rLazy, lazy, lazy. Wanna know how all of these lumbering songs are composed? Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, then beat the song title into the ground by repeating it over and over, ad infinitum. You've got a dumb, quasi-scary opener ("Radioactive"); Gene seemingly bragging about how he's sleeping with Cher and you're not ("Living in Sin"); a weak cover of a lesser KISS tune ("See You in Your Dreams"); and a downright silly version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" (supposedly heartfelt, but I don't buy it--how can you take seriously a guy whose apparent dream is to photograph every women he's ever slept with?).r

2.5 averagesongwriter67 | April 19th 08

The most experimental of the solo albums, Gene Simmons has the hard rock of before, along with Beatlesqe pop, and even some funk/disco. It is a solid album other than the absolutely gruesome cover of "When You Wish Upon a Star", and hearing him try to hit those high notes makes me cringe.

4.5 superbmykweever | December 5th 07

This look inside the mind and talent of the Demon/Bat-lizard is all over the place. From straight-ahead pop to soft ballad to raunchy cock-rock to Walt Disney, Gene gives you insight to his personality you never would have imagined otherwise..Cameos include Cher, Bob Seger, Janis Ian, Ricky Nelson, Helen Reddy, and Katie Sagal(Peg from "Married with Children")
