In the USA, the album reached 86 places (on the Billboard 200 chart ) [2]
David Jeffries in his review of AllMusic concludes:
 Such an extravagant, so crazy, so uncontrollable album would not get away with a young artist under any circumstances, but at least Simmons in his solo works risks and experiments more than he does in Kiss. If you are a member of the KISS army (approx. Transl .: English KISS Army , the name of the Kiss fan club) and you have already paid a loan for a company coffin from the group ( English Kiss Kasket ), this album will be [for you] a little more successful purchase than remastered Unmasked . Everything else, who is purely interested in hearing [this album], is worth the wait until he appears in the baskets for discounted discs, and take the censored version for the sake of sheep’s bleating [on it] (approx. obscene words) ; at the same time [it will also be possible] to rejoice that Kim Deal and Shannon Tweed receive [some kind of sale] money [1] . |
Original text (English) :
There's no way a new artist could have gotten away with an album so over the top, so gonzo, and so misguided, but at least Simmons takes more chances on his own than he does with Kiss. It just beats buying the remastered Kiss Unmasked if you're a member of the Kiss Army and have finished paying off your Kiss Kasket. Everyone else who is merely curious should wait till it hits the cutout bins, get the edited version for the sheep bleats, and be happy that Kim Deal and Shannon Tweed are getting paid. |
