Sobre el álbum
El álbum en solitario de Paul Stanley, el "Starchild" y líder de Kiss, es una extensión lógica y muy bien ejecutada de su faceta como compositor dentro de la banda. En este trabajo, Stanley explora su amor por el power pop, el rock melódico y las baladas épicas, creando el que es, junto al de Ace Frehley, el disco más sólido y coherente de los cuatro.
En primer lugar, el álbum es una clase magistral de cómo escribir canciones de rock con estribillos perfectos. Temas como "Tonight You Belong to Me", con su dramática introducción acústica que desemboca en un potente riff, o la enérgica "Move On" podrían haber sido perfectamente éxitos de Kiss.
La producción es impecable, con un sonido pulido y potente que realza la calidad de las composiciones. Paul Stanley demuestra su increíble talento como vocalista, con una interpretación apasionada y llena de matices. Mientras tanto, el disco también deja espacio para baladas de gran carga emocional como "Hold Me, Touch Me (Think of Me When We're Apart)".
El álbum de Paul Stanley es una obra excelente, un disco que no solo satisfizo a los fans de Kiss, sino que también demostró que su líder era un compositor y un artista de primer nivel, capaz de brillar con luz propia.

I see you walkin' down the street You're turnin' into paradise The boys are crawlin' at your feet Burn them and turn them to ice No one gets a piece of your heart It's over 'cause you won't let it start You keep your love in chains, love in chains And only fear remains and keeps your love in chains But isn't it time (enough), isn't it time (enough) Oh yeah They know you feel just like a queen Baby, are you havin' life But all the things they'd never seen Stab at your heart like a knife No one knows the way that you love It's over when it's never begun You keep your love in chains, love in chains And only fear remains and keeps your love in chains But isn't it time (enough), oh, isn't it time (enough) Oh yeah But isn't it time (enough), oh isn't it time (enough) You keep your love in chains, love in chains And only fear remains and keeps your love in chains But isn't it time (enough), oh isn't it time (enough) Love in chains, love in chains Love in chains, love in chains Love in chains, love in chains Love in chains, love in chains Love in chains - Goodbye

Ain't it funny how the time slips away 'Cause now I'm leavin' and I wish I could stay People wonder why they don't get a chance They wait for music but they don't get to dance Mmm, well now I know when my work is through I'm gonna be with you So goodbye Is only for now 'Cause I'm comin' back I swear it somehow Ain't it funny how we win but we lose We're given prizes that we don't get to use People wonder 'bout the things that we've got It seems so little but we know it's a lot Now I know when my work is through I'm gonna be with you, oh yeah I'm gonna be with you So goodbye, is only for now 'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow Oh, goodbye is only for now 'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow Sing it I'm on the run So I must go And I hate to leave I hope that you know Oh, goodbye is only for now 'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow
