Of the four solo albums KISS released back in ’78, this is my favorite. What can I say? Paul Stanley is my favorite member of the band. I dig the songs he sings and writes in KISS and this is the most KISS-like of the simultaneously released solo albums, so therefore I dig this.

Ace’s album definitely rocks harder, but Paul turns in a great hard rock/pop effort here.

Hightlights: “Tonight You Belong to Me”, “Ain’t Quite Right”, “Wouldn’t You Like to Know Me?”
