I've had two weeks now to get familiar with the NEW Kiss album SONIC BOOM. In truth, I'm not the biggest Kiss fan in the world ... classics like Lick It Up, Crazy Crazy Nights, Creatures Of The Night, Domino, Heart Of Chrome, Reasons To Live get regular air play ... so I wasn't phased out about the album's release. However some sixth sense urged me to buy the album. I GLAD I DID! Four days after its purchase I was still playing the album. It was addictive in truth. Not totally classic Kiss ... apart from Modern Day Delilah ... but it is a GOOD album. Enjoyable if you are not prepared to compare it totally with the old stuff. The tracks do blend in when included in a Kiss playlist ... but it's going to disappoint diehard Kiss fans who were possibly expecting something more. Anyway. I ENJOY THE ALBUM. Most of the tracks now register around 15 - 25 on my Ipod play count so it can't be all that bad. I rate the tracks as follows:
Modern Day Delilah - 9/10Russian Roulette - 6/10Never Enough - 8/10Yes I Know (Nobody's Perfect) - 7/10Stand - 5/10Hot And Cold - 6/10All For The Glory - 8/10Danger Us - 7/10I'm An Animal - 7/10When Lightning Strikes - 6/10Say Yeah - 8/10
