As previously reported, The official web site of KISS Kollector Fanclub, KISSKollector.com has reviewed KISS' anxiously-anticipated new album, Sonic Boom. An excerpt reads as follows:

The news of KISS releasing a brand new album next month, came as a big surprise to probably each and every KISS fan out there – especially after all the years that Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons stated they weren’t interested in doing a new album. But when the 43 minute new album – produced by Paul Stanley – will be out early next month, the biggest surprise for the fans will be that this time the band in fact put their money where their mouth is: it really is the best KISS album in 30 years! Here at KISS Kollector Fanclub, we even think it might grow to be the best KISS album ever (it’s already in our personal top 3 of best ever KISS albums)…

Read the entire review here.

KISS' Sonic Boom will be released in the UK and Europe through Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records on October 5th and in the US and Canada exclusively at Walmart, Walmart.com and Sam's Club retail locations beginning October 6th.

Sonic Boom, produced by the band’s Paul Stanley in Los Angeles, features 11 brand-new KISS anthems from the band that has sold over 80 million albums worldwide in a 35-year recording career.

KISS’ Gene Simmons says, “Sonic Boom may be the best new record we've done since Destroyer! It is Rock And Roll Over meets Love Gun!” Paul Stanley confirms: “Sonic Boom is the perfect title for what we’re creating – it’s earthshaking and deafening!”

Sonic Boom is the first new KISS studio album to feature guitarist Tommy Thayer alongside Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and drummer Eric Singer. It will be available as a single disc and also in a special three-disc set featuring a completely re-recorded greatest hits CD as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina during the band’s recent, record-breaking KISS Alive 35 South American tour.

Paul Stanley, “Through all of the albums that are considered our classics, we tried to always find ways to give our fans extras that went beyond just the music. Besides our making the best KISS album in decades, including a bonus CD with 15 of our most famous songs and an additional live DVD, shot during our recent concert in Buenos Aires. So in every sense, Sonic Boom is the ultimate return to classic KISS form. You wanted the best, you got the best!"
