Sobre el álbum
El álbum en solitario de Ace Frehley es una pieza fundamental en la discografía de Kiss y, para muchos, el mejor de los cuatro discos publicados por los miembros de la banda en 1978. A diferencia de sus compañeros, el "Spaceman" se mantuvo fiel al sonido que mejor conocía: el hard rock directo, melódico y sin pretensiones. Su álbum es el que más suena a un disco clásico de Kiss.
El disco es una colección de rock and roll potente y pegadizo. El álbum generó el mayor éxito comercial de los cuatro proyectos en solitario: la fantástica "New York Groove". Esta versión del tema de la banda Hello, con su ritmo irresistible y su estribillo coreable, se convirtió en un himno y en una de las canciones más queridas por los fans.
El resto del álbum mantiene un nivel altísimo, con temas como "Rip It Out" o "Snowblind", que destacan por sus potentes riffs de guitarra y los característicos solos de Frehley. El disco demostró que Ace Frehley no solo era un guitarrista excepcional, sino también un gran compositor y un carismático vocalista.
El álbum de Ace Frehley es una gran obra del hard rock de los 70, un disco que confirmó su inmenso talento y que, en retrospectiva, marcó el inicio de su camino fuera de la banda.
