so what sonic junk went to 2???? it is LOUSY compared to ANOMALY.

by YOUR standards, britney spears and jonas bros are better because they sell MORE????

Ace has a very good, artistic cd, and kiss sells a whole bunch more???

…the BIG difference is, the Ace fans went away pleased, and kiss fans like myself got ripped off again by GARBAGE…
Ace IS the kiss sound. without him, they got a musical vasectomy.

YOU get over yourself. Ace rocks, fake kiss does NOT.

Sonic Boom did, in fact hit, the top of the charts. Anyone with a lick of musical sense will tell you, however, that certainly doesn't always make a record good. The marketing steam engine Gene Simmons has created is a merchandising machine. The history of the band and legion of fans alone will also sell Kiss records-- a lot of them. Kiss could record 60 minutes of farting sounds and sell a few million copies. Musically, lyrically and artistically, Anomaly blows Sonic Boom out of the water. There's no secret that it won't likely sell half as many copies. The charts don't always tell the true story. Some of the worst albums and songs of all time have reached No. 1. Remember Achy Breaky Heart? Simmons is a marketing genius. Anything he puts out, especially now, people will buy.

Guess that’s why KISS’s new album – SONIC BOOM – went to #2 on the Billboard charts its first week.

Get over yourself.
