Time for me to get my KISS album, this is actually my favorite; Destroyer and KISS are a very close second and third. This album would actually be better if Rock and Roll All Nite was not on this album, it's too cheesy, even for KISS and that's saying a lot.
Favorite song; the opening is so good with the guitar and drums. Ace always wrote the best songs.
Entire album:
I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
I was bummed that Jailbreak went so early, but this one's a nice consolation prize. The title track's got a great hard funk going on, "Soldier of Fortune" has a similar sound to Jailbreak's "Cowboy Song" (in a good way), and "Southbound" is a good mid-paced rocker.
"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."
It's about time to break the seal on the other heavy metal pioneer from the 70's. The only thing holding this one back is a thin production, but there are some powerhouse songs on here.
13.03 Tales of Mystery and Imagination - The Alan Parsons Project (1976)
Some call it prog, others art rock, but all I know is the first of the Project's work remains their best. Creating music to Edgar Allen Poe's work is no small challenge, but they did so brilliantly. The Cask of Amontillado and Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether are just great rock, and the Fall of the House of Usher is heavy-duty orchestrated rock.
Sorry for the delay, I was out killing my knee playing hockey.
13.04 The Undertones - The Undertones (1979)
Here's yet another great punk album that Foot missed out on. These guys really had the pop part of punk down but still have the edge to not be too poppy.
Full album:
I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
No, it's not anywhere close to being their best album, but it isn't bad. Some good songs: Pagan Baby, Hey Tonight, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, a couple others.
Nuts - 2 minutes ago when I looked, Erik hadn't posted anything. Well, as said, there it is.
