Aug 16, 2010Yeah ... say what you want. But who would you rather be? You or GENE SIMMONS?
Even being Peter Criss is better than being you. After all these years THEY ROCK! -
Jun 9, 2011This album was hyped (by the band itself) as being the best album they have done in the last 30 years. In my opinion this is, by far, the worst album in their entire catalog. I rarely write a negative review but this one is so bad I think it's warranted.

Nov 11, 2014This álbum is great R U Nuts? I can't possibly thing a 2009 Kiss álbum sounding any better than this, they also included a re-recorded classics álbum that sound even better than the originals on a loud, modern system. Pure gold!

Aug 18, 2011Sonic Boom is a Big Comeback Album for KISS and it sounds alot like thier eariler Albums from Early in thier Carrer i think this is a Must Hear Album and it definatly will Satisfy The Older Generation of Kiss Fans and The Newer. With Good Songs Like When Lightning Strikes, Hot and Cold, and All For The Glory this makes the Album Complete and it Sounds Great. I Am Proud to Announce KISS is Back!

Oct 18, 2012Honestly I admit that I expected something worse from Sonic Boom. Usually bands which haven't released anything for years and decide to try again can't go back to the "golden years" (Guns N Roses, Van Halen), but this album is very good. Songs like Modern Day Delilah and Say Yeah are exactly what I want from KISS.

Apr 2, 2013Sonic Boom is extremely dissapointing. Gene Simmons' songs are usually weak. He's done it again. I've enjoyed Modern Day Delilah, All For the Glory and Say Yeah, but the rest of the album is weak. It's awful, but they've done worst (Music From the Elder; Animalize; Asylum; etc.). I think Destroyer is their only awesome album, from top to bottom. Sonic Boom is far from being close to Destroyer.

Jul 20, 2015UHUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL grande viagem no mundo rock'nnn rool,Kiss voltou super triunfante,fora I'm An Animal que é uma merda p.s (gene simmons sempre faz uma porcaria de "música" em todos os álbuns do kiss). O Álbum é arrasador excelente.

Feb 9, 2016They said it was going to be a great album!!! They said!! They ruined I Was Made For Lovin' You, Lick It Up, Love Gun and Rock And Roll All Nite, just to name a few. I must say Gene sounds as good as always in I Love It Loud. But this album is a big disappointment. They shouldn't have forced their classics to get more attention.

Dec 22, 2016Great Album Close to 10
If don't have the rubbish "I'm an Animal" Sorry but always Gene **** Kiss albums with 1,2,3 maybe with 4 songs, but honestly the others songs of Gene Simmons in this album all is great.

Of course, substance is in the eye of the beholder, and the lyrics don’t much stray from Kiss standbys such as partying, sex and, naturally, rock ’n’ roll. The results are appropriately direct and unambiguous.
-
This Walmart-only three-disc set--which includes a CD of rerecorded hits and a live DVD--should remind Hall of Fame voters that the recent nominees deserve consideration for far more than just Simmons' fire-breathing abilities.
-
The 11 new songs, Kiss' first since 1998's "Psycho Circus," hardly deviate from the band's time-proven formula.
