Bought this today. 10 tracks, 33 minutes. Quite a good album. I love the title track. Some songs are a bit on the dodgy side though.

Interesting note - Bruce Kulick plays on it. Even more interesting note - he plays bass on it. Say what?
 
What I've heard of it sounded like third rate Avril Lavigne, so I ain't buyin' it. Stan's capable of so much better and I can't believe he'd put something like this out in a desperate grab for mainstream credibility.

Bruce played more bass during his KISS years than a lot of people realise. He does it well even if it's not his main instrument.

I've had the album burnt for about 3-4 months now and think it's excellent. The only let down is the production style (which as you said is in a Lavigne style) but the songs & hooks are pure classic Stanley and his vocals are strong too.

My fave tracks - Bulletproof (80s Kiss style), Live To Win, Wake Up Screaming, All About You.

Least favourite track is Lift... On an interesting note, I heard that Stanley has been rehearsing "A Million To One" in the setlist for the solo tour!! THAT is exciting!

We still don't have it here in Geelong.

Or the new Meatloaf.
Or Talisman.
Or Dungeon.
Or Primal Fear.
Or Zakk Wylde DVD.

I have no idea why we even have a JB HiFi if they don't even bother stocking it with stuff.
