    It's a breath of fiery air, then, that their latest is as close to a return to classic form as anyone could reasonably expect.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Classic and maybe even a little awesome, Sonic Boom makes that "hottest band in the world" tag much easier to swallow.

    Great 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.
