Full review
Gene Simmons' entry into the solo album releases of 1978 was a bit of a mixed bag. Coming from Gene, you would have expected to hear an album full of evil and seduction. For the most part, this is quite untrue. He delivers an album that traces his interests in music from the beginning and also his personal thoughts on life itself.

'When You Upon A Star' may seem a very strange song to cover, but Gene, it summed up everyone's hopes. The beginning of the album is quite demonic and in the vain of the Exorcist in a way. This peters out and goes into his top40 hit single 'Radioactive' - a very catchy number.

Gene then goes through verious phases, from the Beatles to heavy-funk crossover, something quite revolutionary for that time. A cover of 'See You In Your Dreams' from Kiss' Rock and Roll Over album makes us think that he wasn't quite happy with the original release.

Not bad Mean Gene, not bad.
