{"product_id":"kiss-psycho-circus","title":"Kiss - Psycho Circus","description":"\u003cp\u003eKiss raised the big top on Psycho Circus, the 1998 album that put the original four-piece lineup and their famous makeup back on the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter years of records without the greasepaint and a hugely successful reunion tour, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss headed back to the studio with producer Bruce Fairbairn, the man behind some of the slickest hard rock of the era. The result is a big, theatrical record built for arenas, with a darker, carnival-flavoured edge that suits the circus theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track kicks the doors open with a huge riff, all crunch and swagger. \"Within\" lets Simmons stalk through a heavier, brooding groove, \"Into the Void\" hands Frehley the spotlight on a spacey, guitar-heavy rocker, and \"I Finally Found My Way\" is a tender piano ballad sung by Criss, a clear cousin of \"Beth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, \"I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock \u0026amp; Roll\" is pure fist-in-the-air anthem material, exactly the kind of song the band was built to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans, it is a fascinating late chapter: the sound of a legendary band reckoning with its own myth and turning the volume up anyway. On vinyl, that larger-than-life production has plenty of room to roar, and the makeup never looked better on a twelve-inch sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499331068209,"sku":"602537715527","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Kiss-Psycho_Circus.jpg?v=1794506460","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/kiss-psycho-circus","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
