Kiss--Carnival Of Souls (1997)
Rating--7.7
Master and Slave--RealAudio
Quick on the heels of the much-anticipated reunion, this was the last recording
of the Kiss line-up that included Eric Singer(drums) and Bruce Kulick(guitar). Heavy
stuff man, heavy stuff. Guess the boys had to get this off their chests before
getting back with Ace and Peter.
The first three tracks are full of
ruthless hooks, and "Master & Slave" actually reminds of Corrosion Of Conformity.
Yes---you heard me. Other heavy hitters include "Jungle" and "It Never Goes
Away". This has its share of Kiss ballads as well, but these boys are here
to rock. It's all here folks; all you non-believers of the recent Kiss line
need to reserve final judgement until giving it a spin.
HOT CHOPS: The main riff on "Master & Slave" absolutely crunches! "In The Mirror" is a hard starter
as well, and shows flashes of old-school Kiss. As before mentioned, listening
to the first three songs is pure madness and mayhem!
TRACK LIST: Hate/Rain/Master & Slave/Childhood's End/I Will Be There/Jungle/In My Head/
