4.0 out of 5 stars good,but not the best, June 26, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Asylum (Audio CD)

this was a good album.it holds some of the greatest songs ever written in the 80s like "Tears Are Falling","Anyway You Slice It","King of the Mountain" and "I'm Alive".Although songs like "Radar for Love" were a disapointment.
But I dont really know why people put this album down.one of the greatest Kiss lineups started here.Bruce Kulice is one of the best guitarests to ever play with Kiss.Hiss solo for "Tears Are Falling" will prove that to you.And all in all,this may not be their best,but its a must-have!

4.0 out of 5 stars asylum, March 26, 2006

GPC2 (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Asylum (Audio CD)

This was a great album. I liked Bruce's sound on this album. The songs are strong and can be listened to front to back. I know a lot of people bashed this album, but a lot of people just think "80's, so it must suck". Most people don't know how to think when expressing opinions. Kiss evolved throughout the decades. This album reflects that. What you have here is simply a solid album with well thought out songs.

4.0 out of 5 stars The 2nd best Kiss Album of the 80's, January 28, 2005

Scott M. Brown (Joliet, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Asylum (Audio CD)

This is the first Kiss album I ever bought. This is the 2nd best Kiss album of the 80's (the first being Creatures of the Night). I love the songs Tears are Falling and Who wants to be Lonely.
