The offical Kiss thread

I'm just glad that KISS is releasing a new studio album on Tuesday. I'm excited. Overall, they've been my favorite band since 1976, and I'm grateful to Paul and Gene for keeping my favorite band alive for all of these years. I've enjoyed every incarnation of the band and I've been hoping the current line-up would produce a new studio album. I think it will be a good, if not great, KISS album and I hope it does well. Really well. I think Paul deserves it.

By chance, I have Tuesday off.

Gonna be a mighty fine KISS day... Gotta get up early.

Just started my Kiss collection, picked up 5 last week, I've recently started picking up the stuff I've been putting off for years.

I know Man, it should be an official holiday. It sure feels like one.

Picked up Sonic Boom on my way to work today. Unfortunately, Walmart is only 5 minutes from my work and I don't have a cd player here so I have to wait for the drive home to listen to it. At least I have it though

I'll be picking it up tonight. My wife has surgery planned for today, so I need to be at the hospital with her. On the way home tonight, I'll be grabbing a copy.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna pick SONIC BOOM up today or not. I really want to but I'm still getting over a case of bronchitis and right now the idea of getting up and running out to WalMart during my lunch break sounds like more of a pain in the a$$ than anything else...

I will be heading up to Walmart soon!!! I have a 12:00 meeting, so I will take an ealry lunch at 11am to pick it up!!!!

I may not be getting today, but I hope to get it by this weekend.

I may not buy it at all. It doesn't do a whole lot for me.

I picked it up yesterday. It's awesome.

Only a few songs are jumping out at me right now, but I'm still enjoying it.

"I'm An Animal" is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I picked up the Love Gun fleece blanket and a Paul edition of the M&Ms as well. Here's a pic. None of the black ones (from my bag at least) printed correctly:

I'm leaving soon to grab it before work. I'm pretty stoked!

GREAT album!!! Not their best, not their worst. It isn't a "70's-style" album. It sounds like everything that KISS is and has been. I do hear some 70's styles songs, 80's style, Revenge style. It is the best thing they have done since Revenge and it is better than everything between Creatures and Revenge. The album rocks!!! BIG guitar sound, great drum sound!!!

I hope they've returned to their 70's disco-style. I want to dance, Dance, DANCE!!

I just now returned from WAL*Mart, my copy of Sonic Boom secured. I haven't listened to it yet.

However, I was a little disappointed in Wal*Mart. They did not have a KISS Korner set up. As a matter of fact when I stopped there this morning at 8:30 after dropping the kids off at school, they didn't even have the new releases on display yet. What an outrage! I know Gene and Paul would have been pissed!

Plus I really wanted a fleece blanket and they didn't have them.

By the way, I think KISS is on Letterman tonight.

I got mine this morning. I tried to get it on my way to work but they didn't even have the box yet @ 7am. haha Nor did they even have a display or any sort of Kiss Korner in the store. I thought they were suppose to be set up weeks ago. Anyway I got done with work around 11 so I picked it up. They finally got the Kiss Korner up but they were still putting things out. I just grabbed the cd. I didn't see the M&M's but they had the blankets and potatoe head dolls. I think I got enough Kiss stuff and I dont see anywhere I would fit a Kiss potatoe head. The cd is great btw! Im just not too crazy about the song Modern Day Delilah. To me that just sounds odd.

Haha Maybe Letterman and Kiss can share their backstage encounters.

I live in Illinois. I went to the Belvidere location, and they had no KISS Korner set up yesterday. I was traveling through Michigan this morning in the Benton Harbor, and picked up my copy, but again, absolutely NO KISS Korner. How pathetic!!!

Sonic boom is one of their best ever! It'll go down as a classic Kiss album. They've needed to make this album for quite a while.

I got mine today and like some have already said, they didn't have a Kiss Korner in Alamosa, Co. either. I think the Kiss Klassics CD kinda sucks though. Sonic Boom is a good album.

I went at six this morning and they didn't have them out. The clerk acted like it would have killed her to go look for them. Went back later at lunch and they were just then putting them out. No Kiss Korner either. Just a rack of them with a boombox on top playing the second disc. I did see the M&Ms at the front and a few t-shirts in the clothing section. I wanted to hear the album first before plunking down a fiver on the shirt. Having listened to it -I'll be getting the shirt... and the fleece if they ever turn up.

Picked up Sonic Boom just now. Great stuff! I was a little disappointed that the local Wa lMart didn't have a "KISS Korner", since it was more like a KISS armrest.
