Ace Frehley Anomaly review

The pyramid-shaped jewel case doesn't look like it would fit in my CD case so I'll have to pass.
 
I tried to get through this album, but failed. It is not good. IMO, most songs are bad lyrically, and 2 instrumentals are unnecessary. FQ goes nowhere. Pain in the Neck is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. The whole "Spaceman/Space Ace/Space Bear?!? (wtf)" thing has run its course.

Maybe this came out a bad time with the new Megadeth and Lynch Mob getting regular play...

I'll revisit the tracks you mentioned as phenomenal, but I can't promise you anything. Believe me, I went in wanting to like this. At least the new KISS album can't possibly be this bad!! :lol:

heard the entire album and love it. better than anything ace has released except the 70's solo album and maybe the first comet album
 
bought it yesterday but need to exchange it. cd has some scratches and smudges due to the packaging. i was already planning on making the pyramid and putting the cd and booklet in an empty jewel case.

was anyone elses scratched?

This is interesting because I was on The Metal Sludge forum and sounds like poeple were having a hell of a time finding copies...myabe they were pulled due to this exact issue?! Where did you get yours? The Wal-Mart version comes with the Ace tattoo and the Best Buy the metallic looking digi...

it plays fine with no skips so i'll just keep it. got it at wal mart and they had 2 more plus the cashier said they already sold 1. got the new megadeth and living colour today at est buy and they had 1 ace frehley cd. you think i should exchange it or just keep it since it played fine? smudges are light and i can't tell the few scratches are surface only

I myself would have returned it but I'm kinda anal that way.

i'd rather not risk getting one that looks worse/doesn't play properly. i understand though i use to be pretty anal about scratches and smudges but once a cd plays fine all the way through unless you purposely damage it you can't make it skip from normal use. anyways i made the pyramid and the used an empty jewel case and put the cd and booklet/poster in it and then put the slipcase over it.


i love the album but ghengis khan (sp?) should be cut in half
 
its awful because its too long. the rest of the album is solid but you are right some of the lyrics are bad.

heard the new living colour yet? good album. a lot like stain

I think that track would have been better ff as an all instrumental track...
No Living Color...I haven't seen it. I might pick that one up at some point. You what I did pick up was the new Black Crowes, best thing I've heard from them in years. I can listen to the entire thing in a sitting.

told you the new black crowes was good. best thing since the early 90's imo. one of their top 3 albums i would say

anyways the new living colour is good. much better than collideoscope. better production and better tunes. reminds me a lot of their album stain
