I didn't know what to expect. The CD set is worth the price just for the new music included. It also includes a CD with many of their older songs, and a DVD recorded in Buenos Aires. The newest music is true to the sound of the band back in the '70s. It makes me want to crank up the volume. Tommy Thayer has captured the Ace Frehley style perfectly on the lead guitar. Don't expect any great poetry from the lyrics. It's the same old boy meets girl, let's get together themes. By the way, Gene and Paul still sound great on vocals.
This is really a good album. The new music is just GREAT. Great riffs, sold vocals, guitars and drums! I think this is the best KISS album of all time. I also like the fact KISS re-recorded some of the best hits using modern recording technologies and included Eric Singer (one of the best drummers in the business) and Tommy Thayer on guitar. I still love that original music as well and now ever note is crystal clear. Great sounding. Rock on, and Rock on with KISS! Alan
Item came in a decent time frame and seemed to be new and wrapped but wonder if resealed as top of plastic open with discs poking out slightly. Do not remember this being mentioned in description. Not sure I was gonna open it as was hoping to keep sealed but may now open to check discs.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Sonic Boom is the first recording by the current band line up. This album is of the same quality is some of KISS' classic albums such as Destroyer, Creatures of the Night and the last album by the original lineup, Psycho Circus.

listened to this for the very first time all the way thru today, ironically paul stanley's birthday(60th). for him to be able to still sing like he does is nothing short of incredible. you know how when you listen to a release a track or two stand out as something you like right off the bat? well that track for me is apropriately called "stand". i'm sure the other tracks will grow on me with each additional listen. the fact that you get a greatest hits cd and a live concert dvd included makes this a real bargain for the price i paid.
