Paul Stanley is easily the most Kiss-like of the four solo albums the band released at the same time in 1978, and it plays to Paul Stanley's real strength: sharp, confident hard rock songwriting.
With sidemen including Vanilla Fudge and Rod Stewart drummer Carmine Appice, the album has a big, polished feel without losing its punch.
It is also perhaps the most consistent of the four 1978 Kiss solo releases, making Paul Stanley a strong pick for anyone drawn to the band's classic sound.
