So Scott says Jon and I are stuck in the South but we should be celebrating Halloween. Well, I'll celebrate Halloween with the most dressed as rock star ever. It's the Demon, which screams Halloween as well. You know you've dressed as Gene at least once on Halloween. You enjoyed doing the makeup. But the costume was more difficult. Especially the boots. But you did it. And so did your friends. People, kids and adults, still do it. Gene was a down right scary creature back in 1978. Until this album came out. Then he lost his edge. But this album is better than you think. And you all have Scott to blame for having to listen to it this week.

1. Radioactive

Ummm....no. Not once did I even think about dressing up as a member of Kiss. Never have and never will. Unless it's Kiss during "The Elder" phase. That wold be cool. Hell, I would even dress up as someone from "The Elder" movie.
Wow, I have never heard a countup so out of place at the beginning of a song. Until now.
"True Confessions" sounds like something from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Not really a good movie so this song would fit in perfectly.
Oh boy. Now he's talking. Oh double boy. This is bad. "Living In Sin" is now the worst song on this album.
My one question (right now), is what was he thinking? And you say Peter Criss' album is WORSE than this? Is that possible?
I have to pause this. My bladder is full.
Whew.
Is he singing out of tune on "Always Near You"? Or is he just trying to sound sexy?
On the previous song there was a nice bass "blump". Yeah, that's the only good thing I can say about this album at this moment.
And then the high pitched singing followed by higher-pitched singing. NICE!
Something must have happened. "Man Of 1,000 Faces" must have played because I'm now on track 9. I don't get a Beatles vibe from it, I get a 70's soft rock vibe. Something that The Captain & Tennille could have made into a monster hit.
Cowbell?
#10 isn't too bad. THat's two songs in a row that are pretty decent. I dread hearing the last track......
Yes. Jeez. You have got to be kidding.
So, he finished this album and thought it was good? Really? This makes Frehley's album look like one of the greatest albums ever. Wow. I'm sorry, but this was mostly horrid.
I'm listening to that countup part again. Now it's funny. Because it's bad.
Sorry Rjhog, this just did nothing for me except for those two songs.
Oh......THANKS, SCOTT!
There are no birthdays today
