(Mercury) Reunited, and it rocks so good. The first album by KISS' original members in two decades sounds like it was recorded two decades ago--thank God: The choruses are so headbangingly huge and the guitars so overdubbed into excess you'd think they recorded the album in their makeup. This is rock with a capital R, captured in all its cheesy glory (who else would record a song called "I Pledge Allegiance (to the State of Rock & Roll)"?). This new effort proves that in the circus of hard-rock dinosaurs, KISS remain its Barnum & Bailey.
