What did you make of Psycho Circus Stone? I quite liked some of it but it was mostly disappointing. One of their worst albums I felt.

KISS “Psycho Circus” is a great album and the title track is a modern Classic.

Right on! Yeah, the title track never ceases to psyche the living daylights out of me! Whoa! \m/
