it never ceases to amaze me the negativity towards this disc,if you didnt like it on vinyl - why rebuy it on cd?,this is a far better disc than most of the previous reviewers will admit,the lord of the wasteland is true to himself and produces a variety of styles,beatles pastiche,pop and some rock,the ego obviously overloaded and a multitude of stars appear and dilute the disc somewhat,but heh thats simmons whole mantra!!!,take the blinkers off and appreciate some quality 70's rock from a megastar trust me there are more bloated albums out there than this!!.
