SECOND SIGHTING (1988)

This close, they always look like landscape. But nope, you're looking at balls...


Oh, more Frehley's Comet?

Sure, why not?
Because this album is nowhere near as good as the first one?
Oh, that's probably a good reason not to... but then again, it is Ace Frehley so I will.

Insane is just typical Ace coolness. Driving rock with lyrics about being awesome. That's the stuff. Dancin' with Danger has some weird spacey guitar work going on that I can't describe. It's Over Now is such a classic 80s power ballad like you wouldn't believe. I'm sitting here with my lighter out, swaying it in the air and feeling the emotion in my ripped jeans.

I'd say more, but this album is fairly much the same thing over and over. Ace's songs are awesome and typically Ace. The other dude's songs vary between awesome and smelly old pants. And then it all ends with some really weird track where Ace discusses a pro-wrestling squirrel or something. Might have been the second UFC world champion after Mr. T retired, I can't quite work it out...


Highlights:
It's Over Now

Lowlights:
Fallen Angel, not enough Ace Frehely led tracks



Verdict = 3 Smoking Les Paul Guitars
