 (6 Customer Reviews)
Remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
Prior to joining Kiss, Peter Criss spent years honing his drumming chops in numerous New York City-area bands, playing other styles besides Kiss's heavy metal. For his 1978 Kiss solo album, Criss reconnected with a member of one of his old bands, Stan Penridge, with whom he co-wrote the majority of the tunes.
Sensing that most fans would want to hear more ballads in the vein of his 1976 hit with Kiss, "Beth," several are included: "Don't You Let Me Down," "Easy Thing," "Kiss the Girl Goodbye," and "I Can't Stop the Rain." The more rock-oriented selections are more mellow than Kiss's usual fare, with a cover of "I'm Gonna Love You,'" as well as the originals "Tossin' and Turnin'," "You Matter to Me," and "That's the Kind of Sugar Papa Likes."
Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte.

Peter Criss Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Catman
I really like this album a lot because it sounds something like R&B music. My favorite song on here would be Tossin' and Turnin'. The cat who finally found his way, Peter Criss.

Underrated
When I was 15 and used to go to my local record shop, I would get into debates with the store owner all the time. One day we talked about the solo albums and he said he thought Peter's was the best. And he was a metal head...or I thought. Anyway, just because he didn't make a hard rock album doesn't mean it's not good. If you like music, not just hard or heavy rock, you might like this.
If you got 2 hours to waste, put on all 4 and tell me what songs you end up humming at the end of the night...In order for me, it's Ace, Paul, Peter and Gene's solo album. I go back and forth between Paul and Peter, depending on how much cheeze intake I'd like for the day but I find myself going back to this album more and more.

OMG
You have got to be kidding me! This album is complete garbage! No Peter, the fans of KISS want to hear something that sounds like KISS not something that our Grandparents would listen to. Was he really that out of touch with reality to think that any of us would really like this?
I'm sorry Pete, the flag does not fly for this my friend.
Peace

Peter was an important member in Kiss for his major hits Beth, and hard Luck Woman. But his solo record was not good at all. Peter's songs on this record are very easy listining kind of pop.

Peter Criss album
 $6.55   
Remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
Gene Simmons' 1978 Kiss solo album turned out to be the most surprising of the bunch. Primarily known as the author of Kiss's heaviest songs, Simmons had always been an avid Beatles fan. His album shows the influence of Fab Four, and also includes songs that feature orchestras and reflect the then-thriving disco scene. The album is also notable because it benefits from the contributions of many '70s rock stars, like Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielson, Cher, Bob Seger, Donna Summer, Helen Reddy, and the Doobie Brothers' Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.
Granted, some of the tracks are reminiscent of Simmons' thunder rock (such as "Radioactive" and "See You in Your Dreams"), but the majority of the tracks are more musically unpredictable. "See You Tonite," "Always Near You/Nowhere to Hide," "Man of 1,000 Faces," and "Mr. Make Believe" recall John, Paul, George, and Ringo, ...

Peter Criss CD music
$6.49 
Ace Frehley's 1978 Kiss solo album is often rightfully considered the best of the bunch. Like Paul Stanley's album, it follows in the expected heavy Kiss style, but Frehley had something to prove with his album. Ace was just gaining confidence in his songwriting and singing at the time, so it served as a much-needed showcase to prove that he was as integral to Kiss as the band's main songwriters, Stanley and Gene Simmons. Ace's album was the only one of the four to spawn a true hit single, the funky rocker "New York Groove," while the rest of the album is a consistent set of guitar-fueled heavy rock.
Lyrically, several of the songs deal with alcohol and drug abuse ("Snowblind," "Ozone," and "Wiped Out"), something that both Frehley and drummer Peter Criss had succumbed to (eventually leading to their dismissal from the band). Other standouts include the pretty, multi-tracked instrumental "Fractured Mirror," the vicious album-opener "Rip It Out," the Zeppelin-esque "I'm In Need of Love," as well as a pair of melodic compositions, ...
| | Paul Stanley CD (1978) Remastered
Peter Criss music CDs
$6.49
Of the four Kiss solo albums released in 1978, Paul Stanley's was the most Kiss-like. While Gene Simmons and Peter Criss decided to use the opportunity to explore other musical styles, Stanley--like guitarist Ace Frehley--chose to stick to what he did best. A few tracks are of a more epic nature, such as "Tonight You Belong to Me" and "Take Me Away (Together as One)," but for the most part, PAUL STANLEY is just good old straightforward rock & roll. "Move On," "Wouldn't You Like to Know Me," "It's Alright," "Love in Chains," and "Goodbye" are all hard rockers, while the more serene numbers, "Ain't Quite Right" and "Hold Me, Touch Me," fit in with the rest quite well.
All tracks have been remastered.
Recorded at Electric Lady, New York, New York; The Record Plant and The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, California. Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte.

Morbid Angel had impressed many with Altars of Madness, but they still hadn't climbed into the upper class of death metal bands until this record. Overshadowed by great albums from Sepultura, Entombed, and Carcass the same year, Morbid Angel still managed to solidify their reputation as a heavy metal maelstrom with the 13 tracks found here. Songs like "Thy Kingdom Come," "Brainstorm," and the redundantly titled "Unholy Blasphemies" would go on to become cult favorites in the metal underworld, while "The Ancient Ones" became their first true anthem, as it covered the drug-fueled religious theories of guitarist Trey Azagthoth. Despite his unusual beliefs, his playing is on par with the best the genre has to offer, shredding through these ...
| | Disbelief Spreading The Rage CD (2004) (Import) Bonus Track; England; United Kingdom
Peter Criss songs
$22.05
Death metal veterans Disbelief have had a tough time making headway in a country -- Germany -- where melodic power metal reigns supreme. Had they been from Sweden, where the opposite status quo exists, who knows where they would be by the release of Spreading the Rage, their fifth album. But Disbelief doesn't play your run-of-the-mill death metal either -- almost, but not quite. No, although reliably enraged in their delivery, memorable offerings such as "Ethic Instinct," "Addiction," and the title track are all performed at about half the normal speed of most death metal out there. And yet they're also a good bit faster than the lumbering shuffle common to the doom/death sub-genre. Call it a tenuous and unorthodox compromise, ...

Praise for Clair Oaks music:Clair doesn't push the current, she dives in and flows with it. The warmthand serenity in her music is irresistable. Get a pair of headphones andgive yourself a long deserved healing in the lap of the Divine Mother. -Wah!I just experienced Clair's music this weekend and felt renewed andrefreshed by the experience. It has such a sense of calming and depth and asense of permanence - these chants and your way of being with them andgiving them to us as listeners feels like a rich deep river flowing onforever. - Ned Levitt"Clair has a very beautiful voice and the mantras on this CD are very suitable for deep meditation." -Deva Premal "I have listened to Sutra's Song and it is really quite excellent. I am impressed. It's a keeper. Who ever did the production did a lovely job and the choices in arrangement are authentic. Clair's voice is wonderful too. I liked the whole thing twice!" -Ty Burhoe "...absolutely beautiful..." -David Newman "It's just beautiful. I didn't know the sutras could sound so good. Nice work." -Vyaas Houston, The American Sanskrit InstituteClair Oaks loves to sing and has for as long as she can remember! She grew up in a home where music was valued, listened to and/or performed almost every day. From an early age, she learned to play piano and later guitar. As a teenager, Clair discovered yoga and meditation which helped to reveal her passion for what yoga calls the Self -- the true, divine, essential nature of all things manifest. Since that time, her impulse to honor, serve and experience this "authentic" Self has been her life's work, along with raising her two sons (born 1981 and 1992). Clair has been blessed with many opportunities to inspire this awakening for others through her work ...
