yeah, im pretty sure this has been talked about as a CLASSIC KISS album-----meaning what??---the cover is in CLASSIC KISS style as well!! duh? look at KISS albums from Destroyer, Rock n Roll Over, Love Gun---and i think youll get the idea. not that difficult people. read into what your commenting on before you misjudge something of this importance.

this is not important to anybody but paul stanley and diehards like you.. even gene didnt give a sh** untill it was done paul did everything this go around and i think he did it only because of the horrible backlash he got from "live to win" is not a band that needs or deserves respect they dont care about the music only the money and image its been said by them a million times its to the point where the sell everything just because who they are and the image....if metallica would have relased load and reload as thier first albums do you think they would have done well? i think not, same thing with kiss it dosent matter anymore because regardless of quality this album is going to sell the sh** out of itself...its disgusting...but at least they have loyal fans.. iwish they would write sh** like "lick it up" and "heavens on fire" tht was kiss best work imo

I don't like how the "B" in Boom looks. It gets a little lost with the "S" going through it and it makes the album title look like Sonic Doom, which actually is a better title.

they should have put the KISS logo in giant letters in the middle, and the title "sonic boom" up toward the top in smaller letters. basically the opposite of what the cover actually is.

Of course, they have to include a greatest hits tie in with it. They know if KISS fans don't like the new stuff, they dig the "re-recorded" old songs. I'm sorry, but I don't need another version of Rock And Roll All Nite

Cool idea, but too comic book and the Sonic Boom is barely legible. Such a waste for a cool name. The big red mess in the middle actually ruins it. But the album will probably rock because Paul is in charge and first song sounds pretty awesome.
