Hey man!
Yeah I listened to Anomally maybe twice and shelved it. He is at his best in KISS.
Saw them live last year and it was a fun time. I do like Sonic Boom though, well, 60% of it. When Gene's songs are strong, those albums are great. I think Gene's songs on SB are better than Paul's, similar to Revenge but Paul writes great friggin tunes. His last solo record sucked more than Ace's though.
