Honestly 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.

Sonic Boom is not something new. Is pure Rock. And it works, because its songs are awesome. Not the best Kiss album, obviously, but yes one of the most important ones. Songs that perfectly work, with great riffs and voice-lines, with a classic and both modern sound on the guitars, that makes you feel like if you were at the 70's at the same time you're listen to a 2000's album. There are songs that are, in my opinion, better that other ones at the album, but the definitive result is that this is a recent masterpiece, how Rock have to be done. You don't need something really difficult, only two guitars, a bass, drums, and a great talent of compose direct songs, with this spirit and melody that you can't describe how but it catch you. The same history, but that it still really works, like AC/DC, or Classic Hard Rock bands.… Expand

Sonic 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!

This 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.
