I hadn't listened to my copy in over 20 years until a few days ago. It's still terrible. Absolute garbage. Peter Criss may have influenced a whole generation of drummers but really wasn't good enough or talented enough to front a band & write good songs without his much more accomplished band mates. I'm not shitting on the guy...just delivering fact.

Even if you're a hardcore KISS fan from the early 1970s, you cannot ignore the fact that this is a truly horrible, aimless and forgettable album. Peter Criss' delusional belief that he could have a SUCCESSFUL solo career based on the garbage recorded on this album should have been shattered by the poor sales and high returns to the label. The other three range from mediocre (Paul's) to brilliant (Ace's). For a man who is a racist, it seems ironic that the type of music he recorded was mostly black. And sadly, this 1978 release is the highest charting and sales wise successful album of his entire career. The best he ever had was KISS and he foolishly wasted his three chances. Just like the lottery winners who squander their money, some people are just meant to be broke.

Not one of my favs!!! Kinda bluesy, jazzy, disco with a hint of gospel/country to finish it off. That's what I heard anyway. A bunch of studio musicians that just happened to be in the building when Peter started recording.

For me the best Kiss member solo album along with Ace Frehley!

Have this record, its sounds amazing comparing for example to Paul Stanley's solo.

Shouldn't this and all the other KISS 'solo albums' be listed under KISS. These albums, referred to on the promo as 'assembled especially for radio from - The KISS ALbums'. Also these albums are always listed in official KISS discographies whereas the likes of '**hole and Live to Win by Gene and Paul are not listed. New to Discogs so not sure how it all this works yet. Your thoughts???
