Talk about the roar of the greasepaint: On this first studio effort together since Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley welcomed back once-exiled mates Peter Criss and Ace Frehley with open talons (was it really almost 20 years? How the pterodactyl flies), the unkillable beast called Kiss reels off a few potent additions to its undeniably, er, prodigious body of work. Still stubbornly plodding through the musical tar pits of their classic-rock youth--a little Beatles harmony here, a little Alice Cooper guitar noise there--the dressed-to-ill foursome makes the clock roll back (if not completely unwind) with the fist-waving "I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll" and the if-Green-Day-can-do-it-why-not-us acoustic surprise, "We Are One." Better even than the album is the in-booklet merchandise ad, which hawks Kisstory II in all its "440-page, 9-pound" glory, for a mere $158.95. Like they say: size does matter. --Billy Altman

One of the Greatest KISS Albums!!.......2007-06-07

I love this record!!! And it's of course steeped in controversy just like Dynasty and Destroyer due to ghost players taking Ace and Peter's roles. But, oh well. Every single song is a winner. The only shame is that the song "It's My Life" from the box set didn't make the album. That is one heckuva good song. But from the title track to all of Gene's offerings this album rocks! And sonically it's everything it should be. I think "I Pledge Allegiance..." is one of Paul's greatest songs ever! And I think "Within" is one of Gene's best. "Raise Your Glasses" is such agreat song, great melody. "Into the Void" is classic Ace. "In Your Face" is a cool unreleased Ace song written by Gene which just kicks you in the butt. Okay maybe "You Wanted the Best" is a bit corny, but I feel it works in the context of things here and I love Ace's solo on that one. I only wish that Peter's "I Finally Found My Way" could have been a hit. It deserved to be. Ezrin and Paul did a great job on the writing of that and Peter sings the crap out of it. It's really a great song. If this was to be, and I think that it was, the last Kiss album, then they really ended on a strong note. This album is like Destroyer meets Creatures meets Revenge. I love it. It's their highest debut at #3, and it sold well (Gold)despite little radio play except for "Psycho Circus". The tour was awesome, and I just miss the excitment of the whole deal. It was really great!

How to enjoy A "GOOD" version of Psycho Circus.......2006-11-16

Yes...it's been well documented by now, that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss barely even play on this record, and Gene and Paul really fooled us into believing that this would be the "Original 4" back together again...well, yes and no. The end result is, this is a "Gene and Paul album" with a few guest appearances from Ace and Peter, mostly on vocals. The only track that features all 4 original members is "Into The Void". Most of the guitar solos are done by either Paul Stanley, or Tommy Thayer. Drums for the most part, are by session guy Kevin Valentine. Would this have been a better record had Ace played lead guitar on every song, or Peter drummed on everything? I'd say yes...because remember on the "Rock And Roll Over" or "Dressed To Kill" albums, when Ace played lead guitar on songs on which he didn't write or sing, and it was awesome, and sounded like a 4 piece rock and roll band? Sure, it would not have been as professional or technically perfect sounding, but who cares? Remember the first 3 albums? They had Classic songs AND were not perfect sounding, sonically, or in the technical sense. They were RAW and REAL sounding. In the Ken Sharp/David Leaf book "Kiss: Behind The Mask" (a great read, by the way), recording engineer Mike Plotnikoff reveals that the main reason Ace and Peter didn't really play on the album was because producer Bruce Fairbairn (R.I.P.) didn't think they were good enough, or tight enough to get the job done in a timely manner, saying "it would have took a year to finish the album" if they were to record it with them. Ok, fine...but in my opinion, Gene and Paul should have insisted that it's either all the original 4, or nothing. They didn't. I'm sure it takes both sides, and maybe Ace and Peter were a bit lazy as well...There's probably lots of reasons why Ace and Peter didn't make the cut, so who knows? They should have, could have, but they didn't.

Now, just taking it for what is...this album is actually not bad when you get down to it. For some reason, I tend to enjoy Gene's material much more than Paul's. "Within", "You Wanted The Best" and "Journey Of 1,000 Years" are all great, heavy, well written, atmospheric songs that rock, and are melodic. I find Paul's tunes to be a bit forced, labored, and at times, corny. As a long time Kiss fan and music buff, I wouldn't blame this on the producer (Paul always does), as the production here is excellent, while polished, it's a rich sound, yet tight, punchy, and hard rockin'...and all the vocal performances by every member of the band are top-notch, and at times, superb. Gene's vocals on the psychedelic metal "Within" and the Beatle-esque, acoustic sing-along, "We Are One" are especially passionate, believe it or not. And the high powered anthem, "You Wanted The Best", is a blast, featuring all 4 trading verses, and a unique drum pattern/rhythm influenced by 70's glitter kings, The Sweet. Yet, in the end it all comes down to the songwriting. For my money, "Dreamin", and "Raise Your Glasses" are cheesy and dated, almost like rejects from the late 80's "Crazy Nights" era, not good. I will say that the title track, and "I Pledge Allegiance To The State Of Rock & Roll" are decent, and rock fairly hard, especially "Pledge". The title track, while it's a good rousing intoduction, could have been much better, had they worked on the chorus lyrics a bit more-they sound so dumbed-down and hokey. And "Dreamin" is a straight, musical rip off of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen", only with boring/down beat lyrics. Ace's "Into The Void" is the clear winner here, an upbeat, quirky rocker, and the most "classic" sounding track on the whole thing (Peter plays drums on this, which is nice to hear), and again an effective vocal performance from Ace. Peter's vocal on the Paul Stanley/Bob Ezrin penned ballad "I Finally Found My Way" is also a highlight, featuring The Cat's soulful and raspy style. It's a good ballad, kind of like "Beth" part II. The closing "Journey Of 1,000 Years" is a grand epic, a melodic monster of a track, with a theatrical flair that sums up the Psycho Circus atmosphere perfectly-well done, Gene.

To sum up, if you want a "GOOD" version of Psycho Circus, get copies of the bonus track "In Your Face", (written by Gene, sung by Ace-it smokes!) and outtake "It's My Life" (recording session outtake, from the Kiss Box Set), and discard the dreadful "Dreamin", and "Raise Your Glasses" and replace with those 2 rare tracks. They are much better- straight forward, catchy, hard-rock songs, and will make it a much better album, heck, maybe even a GREAT one.

A solid album.......2006-10-25

Kiss' Psycho Circus--their eighteenth studio album--was released in 1998. Ten tracks are contained. The material is in a straight-ahead hard rock musical direction. Overall, I find the songwriting to be satisfying, the musicianship to be tight, and the sound quality to be crisp. My favorite songs are "Psycho Circus," "Within," and "Into the Void." The hard-driving "Psycho Circus" displays propulsive vocals from Paul Stanley. "Within" is a tough-sounding, interesting tune with versatile, industrious vocals from Gene Simmons and appealing guitar work--especially the aggressive central guitar riff. "Into the Void" is a vigorous one that sports cool, ambitious vocals from Ace Frehley and nice rhythm guitar playing. An example of another cut that I like is the energy-filled "You Wanted the Best"--lead vocals are split between Stanley, Simmons, Frehley, and Peter Criss. The CD foldout includes the song lyrics. The disc is just over 44 minutes. Psycho Circus is a recommendable piece of work.

Embarrasing, really.......2006-08-25

Sorry, but this album failed simply because it sucks.

I've been a Kiss fan since 1977. In 1998, however, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley tried so hard to bring back memory lane that they ended up writing the stupidiest lyrics ever and some of the worst melodies in their repertoire. Songs like "You Wanted the Best" and "We Are One" are simply embarrasing.

"...and I see my face looking back at me..."
"...you wanted the best, ahhhhh, yeah..."

(Well deserved "One Star" for Ace Frehley's cool guitar solos).

Lyrics a bit awkward for where Kiss are now..........2006-06-05

Didn't really look to carefully, but I guess this includes Ace and Peter. Songs "Psycho Circus" and "Into the Void" could have been have been sung adding some better backing vocal nuances, it's just pretty mediocre in general. I mean look, "It's the psyyiiiiicoooo, psycho cirus. That sounds pretty dumb and awkward. It should have really been another word that rhymes with psycho... I don't know, but it's stuff like that these dumb-ass songwriters in the grunge bands write where songs loose their grove and good choruses. The only band I can think of that have recently been able to incorporate this silly grunge style from Seattle has been UFO, with their tempo changes on their hit: "Self Made Man" from "Walk on Water". The other songs all lose this, like on this Kiss CD. This whole CD had potential if someone only could have stopped the band from trying to be from Seattle, which they are not. I own these tunes on the box set, but it's not a monument by any means. Why does everyone want to be like Pearl Jam or Nirvana? Not in even the Pacific Northwest does everyone like these bands. I know I don't. "It's my life and I'll do what I wanna, do what I wanna, do what I like..." Good grief, it's either some punk band from England (ie- Green Day), one of those grungy bands from Seattle, or some "earthy" types playing after fishing on the East Coast of Canada. But this should not be Kiss. Not exactly going out on the top of their game, I'm afraid.

YET ANOTHER ROCKING KISS ALBUM!!!.......2006-09-24

This CD is awesome. Buy it with Kiss' other album, Destroyer. You'll be up all night humming. If you want to have a huge party, buy this and rock out.

Disappointing Reunion.......1999-08-02

As a great Kiss fan who have waited ages for this reunion, I am greatly disappointed by this album. Nowhere does this album come close to classics like 'Destroyer' or 'Dressed to Kill'. There is no 'Rock n' Roll All Nite' or 'Detroit Rock City' here. Perhaps, the title track comes close to being a potential future classic, but personally, I feel that it is not even better than some of the stronger tracks on the 'Revenge' album. The other good tracks on this album are 'Into the Void' (Frehley's fans won't be disappointed), 'We Are One' (though I still prefer Simmons to do heavier stuff like 'Unholy') and 'Raise Your Glasses' (a good anthem for live performances). The rest? 'You Wanted the Best' is the worst Kiss song I've heard in years (a pretentious effort to recreate another rock anthem that has failed miserably). Same, though slightly better, is 'I Pledge Allegiance.....'. 'Dreamin', though enjoyable, sounds too familiar (like a ripped off from Alice Cooper's 'Eighteen'). The Catman's 'I Finally Found My Way' is a nice tune, but one cannot be rid of the impression that Criss is trying hard (perhaps too hard) to make another 'Beth'. Fortunately, the bonus 'live' disc shows that after two decades, Kiss can still kick! The raw sound on the six tracks capture the mood of Kiss live (or alive!). I believe that there should be an Alive IV soon now that the original Kiss is back. Just hope that it can be as good as the previous three 'Alive's. Though I'm disappointed with Psycho Circus, I sincerely hope that Kiss won't break up again. Perhaps by sticking together for another few more years, the old chemistry of the group will be back, enough to create a new rock album for the new millenium.

A great CD plus package for a true KISS fan........1999-07-23

By now, every Kiss fan has purchased the original release of the Psycho Circus CD. Some of us really like it and some of us have been let down. Regardless of that we all agree that a new album by the original line-up was something we could not pass up! Kiss fans, if you dare, buy this version of Psycho Circus! Not only do you get the original disc but the bonus disc is priceless. It has almost a Kiss Alive edge to it. Ace delivers a very cool guitar solo, Peter's drumming is super, and Gene & Paul deliver the goods as usual. I feel that this is a sleeper disc because of the split by Kiss fans on this album, but believe me when I tell you it is worth the price. Gene Simmons once said that Kiss has not recorded their greatest effort yet. True. But this is a great CD to buy for your hard earned buck. If you do not have this disc yet, do not buy the domestic version. The import package is a overall better buy for the true Kiss fan!

KISS
ProductGroup: Music

ASIN: B000PTZ7RC

Product Description

PSYCHO CIRCUS is an ENHANCED CD CONTAINING BOTH a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files. Case is a hologram. Kiss consists of: Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley (vocals, guitar); Gene Simmons (vocals, bass); Peter Criss (vocals, drums). Recorded at A&M Studios & One On One Studios, New York, New York. "Psycho Circus" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. It's 1978 all over again! Comeback kings Kiss reunite the original lineup for their first album in 19 years, and it's as if time had not moved. Following a mega-successful tour in 1996, the grease-painted warriors give the Kiss army something to sink its teeth into. But rather than copy its past, the album is more of a continuation. From the power chords of the opening title track, the listener is drawn into this R&R Barnum and Bailey world. Keeping things current are "Within," a Gene Simmons track left over from 1997's CARNIVAL OF SOULS, and "Dreamin," co-written by Bruce Kulick (from the CARNIVAL era lineup). The rest of the songs are direct descendants of Kiss circa '75-'79. "Into The Void" features a stellar Ace Frehley guitar solo in a track reminiscent of "Rocket Ride." "I Finally Found My Way" is a touching Peter Criss ballad that resembles "Beth" and "Journey Of 1,000 Years" holds up to "Great Expectations." The band is tight and the album leans toward good-time hard rock anthems that stress unity with their fans. PSYCHO CIRCUS continues the grand tradition of this innovative rock group that has sold over 75 million albums and shows no signs of stopping.

I was wandering through the used cd section of the local FYE and i saw this 49 cent area, and there was Church of Rust, so i figured "What the hell? If it sucks, i'm out fifty cents, and if it's good, then i just made a great buy!" And i made a great buy! The album has a real Spooky Kids feel with the drum machine and vocals that are like Manson meets Stabbing Westward and the guitars and bass are kind of Godhead-esque. It's a cool industrial gothic metal album, with a bizzar carnival feel to it. Lot's of fun!

i think kiss the best bands out there today no band can compare next to kiss no band out there can.

Great new one from KISS at 1st, get sick of it quick........1999-04-07

I have been w/ KISS since I first saw them in '79 and have seen 13 of their shows since. I have all their stuff, and think that the Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick lineup was the best - musically. As far as the shows, the reunited KISS does not dissapoint. Thank God, because the new Psycho Circus CD does. Don't get me wrong, any KISS fan will love it as I do, but it just doesn't stand up to the hype or what they've done in the past. There are only 10 tracks, and I can honestly say that 4 need to go. For their next CD, they need to get rid of the "pop" sound and get back to the good old rock and roll that originated from the streets of New York City in the 70's. KISS fans must buy it, because we are KISS fans and always will be. Non-KISS fans may not be impressed much.

Love em, Great- Don't, fine..In the middle?...Get out!!!.......1999-03-01

I've met every KISS member and have talked to these men on a real level. They are some of the greatest talents ever! Positive, fun, real people, and on a level of creativity and intelligence that some people and "reviewers" just can't understand.

Hey, you don't like the makeup, costumes, or whatever...then don't look! The reason why some people today don't like KISS or them coming back is because they either like the BS being pushed out these days or don't know what real fun and electric song-writing is about. I, like many people my age and generation, appreciate fun, positive songs and people who can really sing. Not today's yellers, screamers, and rip-off artists that steal the base rhythm and back beat from songs and just re-write their own lyrics around it. That's not talent. That's theft and a cop-out!

I don't like the incredible money that artists these days earn for their lack-luster material but at least "The Hottest Band In The World" earns what they make with their REAL Rock and Roll show.

Hey "doubters"- SEE a KISS show and FEEL what a real concert is all about!

Mr. Simmons, Mr. Stanley, Mr. Frehley, and Mr. Criss...Thank GOD!
