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?”
Lowlights: “Hold Me, Touch Me (Think of Me When We’re Apart)”

Comes in second behind the Ace solo album in my book. This is a solid record and could have been easily used as a KISS record because it is the most KISS-like. Paul has always been the pure talent in the band and it shows here.
My fave lately on this one is ‘Love In Chains’
