Starting off very much like Gene Simmons‘ gem “Almost Human”, opening track “Amaze-O” has KISS written all over it in a way that bridges the gap between very early KISS and the coolest Demon stuff found on Love Gun especially on the main riff and the lead guitar. You almost forget that the lyrics don’t really make sense but then again, KISS themselves weren’t exactly literary poets.
Märvel claim to not have tried to revisit the vibe of the original EP version and yeah, it makes you wonder what the early versions sound like in comparison but once the tune gets deep in, you almost don’t care. It’s just that cool and heck, you don’t even give a crap how close to KISS it sounds. Maybe that’s cause KISS hasn’t sounded this much like KISS in eons.
