Album Review

Before Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley reunited with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, they recorded Carnival of Souls with guitarist Bruce Kulick and drummer Eric Singer, intending to release the record either in late 1995 or early 1996. Once the reunion took off, Carnival of Souls was shelved and Kulick and Singer were unceremoniously given their walking papers, the final chapter of their history erased from public record. Unsurprisingly, the unreleased album became a hot bootleg in collector's circles, paving the way for its official release in the fall of 1997.

Customer Reviews

Some great tunes!

If you aren't one of those fans who bury their head in the sand and hoping to relive your high school music years, this is an interesting piece. It's got tunes far heavier than any other KISS album and though grunge in feel, Paul, specifically, uniquely explores the style. His ability to actually sing adds a different touch to these tunes. Not only a vocalist, but a singer, Stanley invokes some solid emotion into his tunes. Bruce Kulick's work is disappointing. He simply pulls out weird dissonant notes and holds them or pulls a tired --but dissonant-- mini-run. He's technically impecable and artistically stagnent. Nothing like any other KISS album. Ecclectic to be sure, but still some great music. Standouts include Master & Slave, Rain, It Never Goes Away, In The Mirror (Lenny Kravitzish), I Will Be there and Hate.

Not like any other Kiss album - but it rocks just the same

I don't want to go into all the reasons i think this album is one of their best. That is up to the listener, but i want to simply say i am a big kiss fan, have been all my life. I've loved everything they've done in the past thirty years, this album although extremely different that other albums rocks. Solid, great album, check it out.

A must have

This is the sound that KISS needed couple albums earlier. I've meet people that are not crazy about KISS, that love this one. Krunchy riffs and well put together.

Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elaborate lighting, blood spitting, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss' music shouldn't be...
