Of the 3 studio albums Kiss have released since their reunion, which one is your favorite? I'd say Sonic Boom, as its got the classic Kiss feel the best. Psycho Circus is a mixed bag, with some excellent songs (the title track is one of the best Kiss songs ever IMO) and some really weak stuff (Within, I Finally Found My Way). I hate to say this as i was looking forward to it, but aside from Hell or Hallelujah, i just couldnt get into Monster. I gave it multiple listens, but it just didnt grab me (OTOH, I didnt care much for Sonic Boom at first either, but after multiple listens i did get into that one as you can see).

Some KISS fans may call me a heretic, but I preferred Sonic Boom and Monster over Psycho Circus by a large margin.

I do too. I think Sonic Boom is the best of the three.

Maybe it's just because it was coming out around the time I was getting into Kiss but I went Sonic Boom. Plenty of great, straight up rock: Modern Day Delilah, Never Enough, When Lightning Strikes, Say Yeah...

Sonic Boom for me. I like Monster as well. Psycho Circus was hugely disappointing and has very few good tracks.

I never heard Monster, so maybe my vote shouldn't count. But out of the other two, I much prefer Sonic Boom.

I like all of them, but Sonic Boom is my favorite. It's my favorite of the three to listen to straight through. I wish Wal-Mart would have made the KISS Korners that were installed for thie album's release a permanent fixture in stores.

I've only really heard Psycho Circus, which I enjoy though it had to grow on me, but I haven't really heard enough of the other two to really vote.

Kevin Valentine played drums on 11 tracks off of Psycho Circus. So much for the reunion album. Not sure what Ace played on.

Have to agree - Sonic Boom is the best of the three.... Had Psycho actually had Peter and Ace play on it and they hired a producer that actually got KISS, it would have been a much better record.

"All For The Glory" with Eric on vocals, and "When Lightning Strikes" with Tommy are top notch songs. Their respective songs on Monster were a little weaker.

Sonic Boom for me. The songs were much better on SB.

I really like Sonic Boom. I've played it a lot. Definitely the most solid of those releases.

Psycho Circus had a few excellent songs: title track, "Dreamin'", "Within", "Journey of 1,000 Years" (awesome!), but not much else I liked. I was disappointed by Monster.

 lol! 
me too,Psycho Circus.

I gave Sonic Boom a chance, but after repeated listenings, I guess absolutely nothing took hold, as I don't remember anything from it at all, so it's a weak album for me.
I am biased these days and won't bother to hear any new albums by them, so even if Monster is a good album, I will never know it.

It has sunk in that KISS now is only about the money. (I knew Gene always was, but now for sure, Paul too).
I heard a couple KISS shows from the last 5 years, and their voices are awful.
If Linda Rondstadt could retire because she knew it was unfair to the fans to hear horrible noises, instead of what they expected and loved from the records, then why can't KISS do the same and actually retire?
Or stick to being a studio band?

I chose Sonic Boom because that featured a stripped down return to their sound from the '70s and '80s. It's the type of album that Psycho Circus should've been and it's the type of sound I want to hear coming from new KISS music.

I like Psycho Circus a lot. I initially didn't but it's a really good album. Not the type of album they should've made at the time, but still very good, IMO.

Monster was Sonic Boom Part II, but slightly weaker. I love "Hell or Hallelujah".

I hope they do another album or two before calling it quits and keep the same mindset they had on the last two albums. Expect maybe let 10 tracks be the maximum and keep all the songs under 4 minutes.

I like all three a lot but for me Monster is the one that sees the most play.
