Kiss vs. Ace

Since the Ace thread is turning into this debate, I just thought I'd make a new thread for it.

Kiss - Sonic Boom
Ace Frehley - Anomoly

Which is better and why?

I cannot yet comment. I will not listen to the new Kiss until I have it in my hands on the official release day.

However, I can now say that I very much enjoy the new Ace CD. It's a solo album, so it has room for lots of quirky, experimental stuff. For the most part, however, Ace sticks to what he does best, raw hard rock and roll. The first four songs alone are worth the price of admission. "Sister" is up there as on the of the better tracks as well. I love the Sweet cover too.

Looking forward to hearing the new Kiss. I'm a Kiss fanatic, as well as an Ace fanatic, so I have no doubt I will like both.

I voted Sonic Boom because I'm a Paul Stanley fanboy, and the vocals and songwriting are just better on S.B....and I LIKE Ace's vocals, just not an entire album of them.

Where's your charts?

I almost forgot, thanks!

So here is my favorite KISS members in order of me liking them. It clearly illustrates why I like Sonic Boom better.

Spec is the Ross Perot of HoM.

Sonic Boom, much better than Ace.
but best thing should be putting them together into one piece.
SB is really good, typical Stanley style. return to ''80s 70s''. i can say it is a mainstream record. Paul sing awsome but his voice as you can hear it, now on US Tour completely S U X !.

WTF ? is with his voice ? it old very old. i dont like it.

Does he have a crazy aunt locked up in the basement?

Anyway, I can't see the charts at work!!! This sucks!!!!!!

Ace's solo album is AWESOME!!!!! I will comment on Sonic Boom when it is released on Tuesday and I hit WalMart to pick it up!!!!!

I haven't heard the KISS album yet but the Ace album is really great. So I'll vote when I get my greedy hands on the new KISS cd.

Same here, I decided to wait to listen to it on official release day.

The guy from back n blue - LMAO!!!!!

Eric Singer is probably the best KISS drummer, but Eric was awesome too!!!!

Sonic Boom has more staying power imo. It's one of the greatest heavy rock albums I've heard in years. That said, Anomaly is pretty damn good too. I'm not that big a fan of stuff like A Little Below The Angels and Change The World though.

Likewise. I haven't heard anything off of Sonic Boom except "Modern Day Delilah". I'll buy it and listen to it for the first time the day it's released. That being said, Ace's album is great.

How have some of you heard Sonic Boom already?

Good question.

I know someone in Japan who has a friend that passed him an advance copy, but as for the rest of you...

I'm really enjoying Anomaly. The only song I've heard off of Sonic Boom is "Modern Day Delilah", and that was damn good too.

MDD is best song from whole album.

I think both albums are good, but the Ace album has consumed me. I've listened to it multiple times over they last few weeks and have found myself singing along to just about every song. There are a couple songs I think aren't as good as others, but overall, Ace has released a solid CD. Kiss's CD is good too and has a bit of an 80's vibe to it. 'Modern Day Delilah' and 'Russian Roulette' are the best songs IMO. Ace's CD has more of a 70's vibe. 'Sister', 'Foxy & Free', 'Outer Space', 'Pain in the Neck', 'Fox on the Run' and 'Factured Quantum' are my favorites.

I went with Ace Frehley's Anomaly. Sure Sonic Boom is good but Ace's album just grabbed a hold of me.

Anomaly and Sonic Boom both are pretty good, makes me wish Gene put his ego aside and get along with Ace! Everyone knows Ace was the true musical talent to Kiss! Paul had the looks, Gene knew how to market the band but it was Ace who knew how to play! LOL

Ace's album is AWESOME, but Sonic Boom has the edge
