I didn't like these songs at first. but the more I listen, the more I like them. it'll be one of those albums that end up being really good in the long run. The lyrics are really what kiss has been about for the last 35 yrs. They've been around for me through the good times and the bad times. It's been a great ride!!
I'll say this...for all the cynicism in the comments, this was the first song I listened to after my mom passed away...totally by accident, this was queued up, and it gave me a bit of a boost to help get me through what was going on at the time, but KISS had always done this for me for over 35 years.
I love this song. Kiss will always be there and so will the Kiss army!!! This is one of the best albums they have done in a long long time. Lets make it go #1....
I like the lyrics a lot on this song. It's basically what Kiss has been about all along, sticking up for eachother. Kiss has given confidence to a lot of people over the years, saying it's ok to be different but you can still have a strong confident personality. Just like Kiss has always had.
This tune was playing through the speakers just as the gig at London's Wembley Arena 2010 finished, which was pretty cool. Since then I started liking it.
kiss came in #2 on the top 200 billboards I sure wish the kiss army had gotten them to #1. The kiss army will always be there. Keep on rockin kiss!! Its never enough.!!
Love this song! So glad that this album is at #2 for Billboard Top 200 for the current week! This is my mom's fav song on the album but i'm more for All For The Glory though I am in love with this new album. Kiss is back and better than ever! My friends all said Kiss sucked, oh just wait till I tell them what this album charts! *Smirks* Kiss is my all time favorite band, I love um so much! I think i'm the only Kiss fangirl in my school XD
I seen kiss a few months ago. Great show! I would of loved to hear this song live. It would be the perfect anthem for their tour. Hope they add it next time around....
This disc grows on you. This is R-N-R at it's best. The thing I have always liked about KISS, is that they don't try and please critics. This is just a good rock and roll record!!
I've been listening to the whole album for a week or so now and it just gets better. I don't miss Ace or Peter, Paul has been true to his word and Kiss have delivered possibly the most consistent album of their career, and I can't wait to get the physical item. I'd love to hear the whole album played live.
I agree that this is the best song on the album. Tribute to the band's longevity! My other favorites are The Who, who are down to only two of the original members. Tea and Theatre makes me cry like this song!
This whole album is amazing. I am proud that I can call myself a true fan. Loved them when I was 7 and still do at 39. Their rollercoaster has had it's ups and downs and it's at the top right now!! SONIC BOOM BABY!! Yeah yeah
This is easily the best song on the record Ive heard so far. It has a good hook and is the Kiss sound I remember growing up on in the 70's and 80's. Who ever produced this song (Paul?)should have done the whole album this way. Is there even a ballad?
pasidilico. Yup. You are correct. I found myself tapping my foot. I haven't done that for anything that has been released lately. KISS has released a great rock record. This is what rock used to be like. Good fun catchy riffs. With simple lyrics. Not all the songs about changing the world or saving the kids or all that shit. Just a great pure rock album. Just everyone go and buy it. Keep On Rockin'.
Would anyone else agree that this would be the perfect song as the opening theme to Pokemon? I mean, seriously, the lyrics fit that pretty much perfectly. xD
My god has Tommy Thayer ever played an original lick in his life? He tries so hard to be Ace Frehley. Reminds me of Mark Wahlberg in that movie Rockstar.
This is good ole feel good about life rock and roll. Like everybody has said here. It makes you feel good, inspires, gives confidence. just a great celebration about being alive. Love it.!! unlike that grunge crap..
Fucking awsome ... guarantee that when you hear this live you're going to punch your fists in teh air as if your lives depended on it ... no matter what you are saying about the lyrics .. this makes you proud to be a KISS fan ... This album gets a 9.5 / 10 ... take away 0.5 for the album cover ... If that had been as good as the music then this would have been an all time classic
You're taking the words too literally. They don't talk about physical closeness. Paul says (to Gene?): "If you're LOYAL to me, I'll be there for you". And they really seem to be like a married couple. Especially in this song. It's about morally supportive relationship. Not physically.
Tommy and Eric did fine on their vocal debuts and Paul is always a great singer and songwriter. It's Gene's songs I worry the most because Gene has been spending a lot of time on outside projects, even though he's also a good singer and songwriter like Paul.
thank you! was starting to think all kiss fans lost their rock edge... "you know it, i know it..." terrible bridge and verse and paul's rapping is soooo cheezy.... overall was hoping the album was going to much heavier (like MDD throughout) . frankly i think Psycho Circus rocked harder (pc, into the void, within, i pledge, ywtbygtb). anyone out there like the heavier albums (revenge, cotn, cos, animalize) etc?
Heard Modern Day Delilah and it edges out this song for the edginess and Rawness it delivers. This song comes in at #2 IMO though. Both good tracks to be heard before making any harsh statements about the record as a whole.
This and Modern Day Delilah are the only stand outs from Sonic Boom. I have a feeling the Re-Recorded Greatest Hits is going to end up being better than the new songs.
Ahh the good old rock n roll music most people have forgotten grear song. btw if YT has not banned this vid or something why is everybody talking about downloading it from here and stuff, JUST LISTEN TO THE FREAKING MUSIC!!!!!!
@nitroass23B Yea I think it puts pressure on the artist to put out quality product. Before some artist would put two good songs on a record and the rest just filler material. Now they have to deliver. And with that being said, I think artist will see sales increases, not decreases.
This is the "ballad" of the album. I think this is Paul suggesting to Gene that he finally marry Shannon and that Paul will be his best man... there to catch Gene when he faints from saying "I do".
Can't understand why some of the reviews of the album consider this to be a weak track, I think it's a fantastic uplifting anthem. Kiss should dedicate this to the American troops.
Well, that's a good point. But I was rather thinking about Kiss and itheir fans vs. the rest of the world. Like how Kiss showed how you could be a complete freak, with make-up, outrageous clothes and still be the coolest guy on the block. Just because you knew you had Kiss and the entire Kiss Army standing behind you.
@MrInferno007 i hope your not talking shit on metalcore dude cause there is much meaning in it. it is not screamo like people say even though there is very much screaming involved. people usually attack what they don't understand, so don't feel bad. it is just human instinct.
@tgm5150 No I wasn't talking shit about metalcore.. I was speaking on the general deterioration of music quality, not in a specific type of music.. just generally.
I didn't like these songs at first. but the more I listen, the more I like them. it'll be one of those albums that end up being really good in the long run.

Sonic is aging very well imo. Great album
The vocal harmony breakdown in the middle is just supreme. Love this song.
this is an awesome Kiss song they sound like they had went back too their roots,Kiss fans all around the world stand together as one
This is what Kiss is all about, pure rock and roll. Great song, great album
This tune was playing through the speakers just as the gig at London's Wembley Arena 2010 finished, which was pretty cool. Since then I started liking it.
Great song from great album KISSFOREVER
kiss came in #2 on the top 200 billboards
I sure wish the kiss army had gotten them to #1. The kiss army will always be there. Keep on rockin kiss!! Its never enough.!!
This is a really Great Song! Kiss Forever!!!
I hope they´ll play this song during their tour over Europe. The Czech Republic is looking forward to see them again. Forever KISS
omg, i love this album! simply amazing, gonna see KISS at the GARDEN IN NYC WHO"S GOING C"MON KISS ARMY !!!!
Love this song! So glad that this album is at #2 for Billboard Top 200 for the current week! This is my mom's fav song on the album but i'm more for All For The Glory though I am in love with this new album. Kiss is back and better than ever!

Best song in the album and best in 20 yrs.
Hot and Cold is the grooviest song on the album, I can't wait to turn that up loud on my speakers.
paul &gene have been friends for 40yrs this is what other bands have never had awesome tribute 2 each other. KISS!!!
Gene's songs are my favorite on the album! Especially Russian Roulette and I'm An Animal. They are both stellar!
This whole album is amazing. I am proud that I can call myself a true fan. Loved them when I was 7 and still do at 39. Their rollercoaster has had it's ups and downs and it's at the top right now!! SONIC BOOM BABY!! Yeah yeah
Grande Album mais de trinta anos depois do começo eis ae um ótimo trabalho!!
This is easily the best song on the record Ive heard so far. It has a good hook and is the Kiss sound I remember growing up on in the 70's and 80's.
Who ever produced this song (Paul?)should have done the whole album this way. Is there even a ballad?
KISS fan since 1975, this kicks A They did this for the fans and did it right KISS RULES!!!
I had to buy a new cd someone stole mine out of truck......but thanks Walmart online got hooked again........whoohoo......
i´m looking forward to the concert in the wembley arena in May... it will be amazing ;)
@TheSTaRcHiLd92 clearly Paul and Gene
Very good song! Sounds to me like, "God Gave Rock n' Roll to You."
pasidilico. Yup. You are correct. I found myself tapping my foot. I haven't done that for anything that has been released lately. KISS has released a great rock record. This is what rock used to be like. Good fun catchy riffs. With simple lyrics. Not all the songs about changing the world or saving the kids or all that shit. Just a great pure rock album. Just everyone go and buy it. Keep On Rockin'.
I can easily picture everyone in a bar singing this... definite party song. Maybe a great song for New Year's!!!
This is just a great song ... especially the chorus ...
I am speechless, the song is very good!
Ace and Peter are long gone, I have seen both lineups several times, this is the best one hands down........
OMG that chorus!!!!
This is uplifting and optimistic. It's among my favorites from Sonic Boom. KISS is usually good with anthems.
This song is definantly KISS talking to me about how they will be there with me when some people in my life arnt
Would anyone else agree that this would be the perfect song as the opening theme to Pokemon? I mean, seriously, the lyrics fit that pretty much perfectly. xD
Wooow, Sonic Boom is soooooooooooooooo good !!! In my opinion this is the BEST Kiss album ever !
I'm not a big fan of kiss but this album sounds amazing!! I have to get it now!
This song kicks ass...I love it
we are are worst critics, i love it. reviews don't give a shit to me. i buy regardless. long live kiss and long live rock
My god has Tommy Thayer ever played an original lick in his life? He tries so hard to be Ace Frehley. Reminds me of Mark Wahlberg in that movie Rockstar.
The guitar 🎸 is beautiful in this song (without Ace).
This is good ole feel good about life rock and roll. Like everybody has said here. It makes you feel good, inspires, gives confidence. just a great celebration about being alive. Love it.!! unlike that grunge crap..
KISS Rules!
Fucking awsome ... guarantee that when you hear this live you're going to punch your fists in teh air as if your lives depended on it ... no matter what you are saying about the lyrics .. this makes you proud to be a KISS fan ... This album gets a 9.5 / 10 ... take away 0.5 for the album cover ... If that had been as good as the music then this would have been an all time classic
I never got over the whole "Stand by my side, I'll be next to you" Like really where else are you going to be, Above me?
You're taking the words too literally. They don't talk about physical closeness.
Paul says (to Gene?): "If you're LOYAL to me, I'll be there for you". And they really seem to be like a married couple. Especially in this song. It's about morally supportive relationship. Not physically.
wow this is an amazing album by them :) new album soon :)
When you take Ace and Peter out of the equation, the emphasis seems to be on vocal harmonies under Paul and Gene.
This is Kiss' best album!
What album were YOU listening to? Anomaly is an awesome album.
I completely agree with you! ....on all of what u said!
This must be the best song on the album!
5/5
This song its a compliment to "Raise your glacess" From Psycho Circus its equally as good
ROCK ON
Tommy and Eric did fine on their vocal debuts and Paul is always a great singer and songwriter. It's Gene's songs I worry the most because Gene has been spending a lot of time on outside projects, even though he's also a good singer and songwriter like Paul.
thank you! was starting to think all kiss fans lost their rock edge... "you know it, i know it..." terrible bridge and verse

I can just see all the sporting events playing this over the loud speakers during pre-game, in between plays, innings, etc.
Best Rock tune in the last 14 years ... so STAND
Heard Modern Day Delilah and it edges out this song for the edginess and Rawness it delivers. This song comes in at #2 IMO though. Both good tracks to be heard before making any harsh statements about the record as a whole.
This and Modern Day Delilah are the only stand outs from Sonic Boom. I have a feeling the Re-Recorded Greatest Hits is going to end up being better than the new songs.

the best song from sonic boom, for me
The spirit of this is "I" from THE ELDER, with an awesome pop sound that is UNMASKED. KISS is back, fuckers!
Lukvania that is pretty funny!
I hope Sonic Boom will be the start of the new series of new KISS albums from the current lineup.
Geiler Song!!
Thanks for reposting these Nitro
i couldn't agree more. kiss has such a hollow sound without ace. thank god ace is sober and doing well !
WELCOME BOYS! don't stop of makin' records
very cool[cheezy] but a fun song.
Paul asks:"Can you feel it?"
Yes, Paul! It's a song for the❤.
This song sounds pretty good. I thought this album would suck, but so far it sounds decent.
stand ❤
This is the "ballad" of the album. I think this is Paul suggesting to Gene that he finally marry Shannon and that Paul will be his best man... there to catch Gene when he faints from saying "I do".
favort song
what this the music for the next Rocky soundtrack or maybe Iron Eagle?
Can't understand why some of the reviews of the album consider this to be a weak track, I think it's a fantastic uplifting anthem. Kiss should dedicate this to the American troops.
ATTN KISS: Play the whole album LIVE! We've heard Love Gun enough. Retire it and play NEW STUFF!
I think Gene should buy Paul a doorknob for Christmas so he can finally get out of that closet-Lol
Well, that's a good point. But I was rather thinking about Kiss and itheir fans vs. the rest of the world. Like how Kiss showed how you could be a complete freak, with make-up, outrageous clothes and still be the coolest guy on the block. Just because you knew you had Kiss and the entire Kiss Army standing behind you.
I can imagine this song being played in Smallville when I see the Justice League standing together.
@guitarzero ever heard of youtube downloader?
@nitroass23B Your purchase of the album is irrelevant to whether its a copyright infringement or whether such posts effect sales (which it does).
@guitarzero It is possible to download songs from youtube, but it requires some work.
@MrInferno007 i hope your not talking shit on metalcore dude cause there is much meaning in it. it is not screamo like people say even though there is very much screaming involved. people usually attack what they don't understand, so don't feel bad. it is just human instinct.
kiss for every always liike kiss yuo never jane yeah aah jeps rock rules waau song Rolling roll
this sounds like a mix of new kiss and old kiss
i love them all
I love Kiss, this is not the best they can do, but it is good
@kissfan38 i'm waiting for a cheaper way to buy it than downloading it for free.
I like the Beach Boys part at 3:00
@tgm5150
No I wasn't talking shit about metalcore.. I was speaking on the general deterioration of music quality, not in a specific type of music.. just generally.
@nitroass23B hahaa cmon who cares if it sell or not, they have all the gold of the universe
this is classic kiss.
I wonder if KISS fans have been asking for a new album more so than another reunion with Ace and Peter for the past 11 years.
@TheSTaRcHiLd92 no problem :P
maybe but when it's like tihs, it works ^^
