EXTD=melling litter box, January 11, 2007\nReviewer: Kerch Thomas "dis
EXTD=sident10" (United States)\nThis album stinks. Period. And this is
EXTD= coming from someone who loves KISS and actually grew up with Pet
EXTD=er being my favorite member. But let's be honest. The guy stinks 
EXTD=as a solo act. Be unbiased for a moment. Try listening to these s
EXTD=ongs without ANY THOUGHT of them being from your childhood idol. 
EXTD=What would you think of these songs if they were coming from a ne
EXTD=w artist you'd never heard of? If you had even minimal taste, you
EXTD='d probably laugh at these songs. The production is flat and blan
EXTD=d, the arrangements are terrible and the songwriting never gets a
EXTD=cross the barrier of mediocrity, and usually falls well BELOW tha
EXTD=t barrier. \n\nWhat's even funnier to me about this album is how 
EXTD=clueless Peter was (and probably still is) about his own talents.
EXTD= Listen to some of his interviews back then when he just left KIS
EXTD=S and was working on this. He was actually talking about TOURING 
EXTD=LARGE ARENAS with this music! He was calling himself a "composer"
EXTD= and talking about being "bigger than KISS" possibly. Holy Delusi
EXTD=ons of Grandeur, Catman!! \n\nI don't want to completely destroy 
EXTD=this album, though, because there are things about Pete that I do
EXTD= like a lot, even love. His voice, even though it goes off-key a 
EXTD=lot, is great, and no one in rock had a better scream voice than 
EXTD=him (except maybe Roger Daltrey). And he did tend to shine when h
EXTD=e wrote weepy ballads. "Kiss the Girl Goodbye," "Easy Thing" from
EXTD= his first album, "By Myself" and "Feel Like Letting Go" from thi
EXTD=s one are decent songs, the first two being much better. \n\nBut 
EXTD=have you ever heard the guy's demos? If so, you'll realize just h
EXTD=ow much THE PRODUCERS of the songs added to them. The demo of "Be
EXTD=th," originally called "Beck," was terrible, but Bob Ezrin shaped
EXTD= it into something strong. The demos for "Hooligan" and "Hooked o
EXTD=n Rock 'n Roll," or even "Dirty Livin'" were all very weak, but a
EXTD=gain, the producers shaped them into stronger material. Peter was
EXTD= fantastic during KISS' heyday in the early 1970s. His drumming w
EXTD=as wild and great then, his singing was great and his vibe was ha
EXTD=ppenin'. He just deteriorated greatly over the years, especially 
EXTD=his drumming. \n\nIt's hard to believe the drumming on these albu
EXTD=ms is from the same guy who recorded the amazing Kiss Alive. It's
EXTD= so boring, so dull, so lifeless, much like the music. Maybe that
EXTD='s the problem right there, I don't know. Or maybe it was all the
EXTD= coke and other drugs he was doing. \n\nAnyway, if you want to re
EXTD=live some nostalgia, that's great, good for you. I do the same th
EXTD=ing sometimes. But don't kid yourself. This album sucks mule. Har
EXTD=d. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n1978 solo effort has more st
EXTD=rong tunes on it, February 16, 2006\nReviewer: John Emm "kissfan"
EXTD= (New Jersey)\nIf you really like Peter Criss' singing voice, and
EXTD= you're not too hard on his writing chops (which are not terribly
EXTD= strong), I think you will STILL find his original solo collectio
EXTD=n from 1978 a better album. On "Out of Control" a lot of the mate
EXTD=rial suffers from sort-of cheesy lyrics (though heartfelt, someti
EXTD=mes a bit weak, unintentionally comic), and, as someone else note
EXTD=d, some misfires when Criss attempts to rock harder than he shoul
EXTD=d be doing with this outfit. My favorite track is "Words" which, 
EXTD=for me as a KISS fan and Criss admirer, makes this CD worth ownin
EXTD=g. But probably not for $24.00. \n\nBut, if you're curious, and y
EXTD=ou gotta have it, then you gotta have it.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOME
EXTD=R REVIEW\nPeter Criss 1978: Part II, February 18, 2005\nReviewer:
EXTD= Sean Parauka (Orange, CT United States)\n     \nIn 1978, when KI
EXTD=SS released the four solo albums from each member, Peter Criss cr
EXTD=eated an album unlike any KISS album ever heard. He created an al
EXTD=bum that was all Peter. The album was born out of his childhood i
EXTD=nspirations such as R&B and 50s Rock and Roll. That album was sup
EXTD=erior and was a genuine album from the Catman. Then in 1980 after
EXTD= Peter Criss's departure from KISS, he did it again. He created t
EXTD=he first album of his solo career. This album picks up right wher
EXTD=e 1978's solo album left off. It contains the same spirit, same w
EXTD=onderful vocals, the perfect mixture of pop, rock, loveable balla
EXTD=ds, and rockin and rollin tunes. It's everything that Peter Criss
EXTD= 1978 was and this time Peter did even better. This is the Cat's 
EXTD=Meow! \n\nThe opening song is the heartfelt and loving ballad, "B
EXTD=y Myself." This song is about Peter now out on his own away from 
EXTD=KISS and starting all over again and on his own again. The song i
EXTD=s very well acoustically written and Peter sings this song with s
EXTD=uch a loving and passionate manner that will make you cry. The ne
EXTD=xt track, "In Trouble Again" a heavy rocker with a momentus array
EXTD= of piano, brass and guitars mixed with Peter's cathcy vocals and
EXTD= "Where Will They Run" has an intro that sounds similar to KISS's
EXTD= 1979 hit, "Sure Know Something" and this song is slower than the
EXTD= previous track but is definitely a soothing tune. The next track
EXTD=, "I Found Love" is in the same vein with 1978s, "Rock Me, Baby."
EXTD= It has very catchy vocals and a rockin and rollin sound that mak
EXTD=es you wanna get up and dance. Then "There's Nothin Better" is pr
EXTD=etty much "I Found Love" Part II. The lyrics are in the same area
EXTD= and continuing with finding love and singing that there is no on
EXTD=e better than each other. \n\nThe title track, "Out of Control" i
EXTD=s a catchy tune that is very well written and arranged and contai
EXTD=ns great guitar work. The next ballad of the album, "Words" is a 
EXTD=very lovely piece. Once again Peter delivers very loving vocals a
EXTD=nd the song may very well be on of Peter's best ballads ever writ
EXTD=ten. The next track, "You Better Run" is another heavy song with 
EXTD=great guitar solos and brass arrangements. Then the last rocker, 
EXTD="My Life" is a song based on Peter's personality and experinces a
EXTD=nd rocks all the way through. The last song of the album, the pow
EXTD=er-ballad "Feel Like Letting Go" is so loving and will really bri
EXTD=ng tears to your face. This ballad is in the same vein as 1978s, 
EXTD="Don't You Let Me Down" when it comes to singing the chorus. Pete
EXTD=r shows his greatest talents with ballads on this song. It's such
EXTD= a wonderful way to end a wondeful album. \n\nThis album is truly
EXTD= phenomenal. Picking up right where Criss 1978s solo effort left 
EXTD=off, he delivered another album in that same vein and did just as
EXTD= well as two years prior if not better. This album has what many 
EXTD=rock albums lack: SPIRIT! Peter's albums all have spirit to them 
EXTD=and you can hear that in his voice and in the music. And it hurts
EXTD= me to know that Gene Simmons, says that Peter Criss has no talen
EXTD=t in song writing, playing drums and singing. It is a fact that G
EXTD=ene shouldn't even open his mouth, because half of the songs he w
EXTD=rote for KISS in their career were terrible and outside of KISS, 
EXTD=he can't write a tune to save his life. And it really hurts me be
EXTD=cause Peter is my idol and I know it hurts Peter to know that Gen
EXTD=e says that about him. Peter's greatest talents are truly resembl
EXTD=ed on this album. No one, not even Gene Simmons can say any diffe
EXTD=rently! Take a ride on the wild side with The Catman, Peter Criss
EXTD= and go "Out of Control."\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nOUT OF
EXTD= KISS CONTROL, January 3, 2005\nReviewer: Kevin Dobbs "dragonboot
EXTD=s" (Perth Western Australia)\nThis is a collection of tunes that 
EXTD=continue the traditions of Peter's Kiss solo album a couple of ye
EXTD=ars prior. Indeed one may suspect that this album may have been r
EXTD=eleased if he were to have kept his tenure within Kiss as it does
EXTD= not possess the trump card of showing his naked face on the cove
EXTD=r. Either way by this point I am sure nobody really would have be
EXTD=en too concerned. Kiss' own sales were waining leaving any real h
EXTD=ope of this album getting serious attention at a minimum. So is i
EXTD=t good? Well if you didn't like the predecessor then this one wil
EXTD=l impress you not. But if you are one of the few that ranks that 
EXTD=opus high, as I do then this will please too. A nice variety of s
EXTD=tyles only tarnished when it tries to rock a little too hard. Del
EXTD=ights abound being "By Myself" with its simple acoustic guitar ba
EXTD=cking and heartfelt sadness and "Words" that would benefit from a
EXTD= little more tempo but still manages to please. "I Found Love" an
EXTD=d "There's Nothing Better" are great rock pop and personal favour
EXTD=ite "My Life" which is spirited and very optimistic for the drumm
EXTD=er known as the 'complainer' by other group members. One star ded
EXTD=ucted for the agony of the closer "Feel Like Letting Go" which is
EXTD= like nails on a blackboard and the title track "Out Of Control" 
EXTD=which would have benefited from a little more substance lyrically
EXTD=. However if you like flaws in your artists that demonstrate risk
EXTD= taking and genuine love of their craft then this one is very muc

EXTD= 4 stars, May 5, 2004\nReviewer: L. B. Ivarsson (Rock City)\n    
EXTD= \nWhen each member of Kiss recorded their own personal solo albu
EXTD=m back in 1978, Peter Criss' sounded very different from the trad
EXTD=itional Kiss approach. One might suspect that the opportunity to 
EXTD=record those songs made Criss realize that he actually could cont
EXTD=inue doing his own thing. Criss left Kiss after another two album
EXTD=s, and in 1980 he released his first album without any connection
EXTD= to the super group Kiss. "OUT OF CONTROL" sounds rather similar 
EXTD=to the "Kiss solo effort", and Criss blend different musical styl
EXTD=es like rock, pop, soul, and disco in a very attractive way. Pete
EXTD=r Criss' rough voice works very well, either if it's slow ballads
EXTD= like "By myself" (with the honest lyrics: "By myself / Starting 
EXTD=over again / By myself / Looks like this time I'm on my own"), me
EXTD=lodic pop sounding tunes like "My life" or more rocking numbers s

EXTD=immons (ruler of the Kiss empire) describes Peter Criss (in the b
EXTD=ook "Kiss and make up") as a person who lack talent regarding eve
EXTD=rything from writing songs, playing the drums to singing. One mig
EXTD=ht wonder why Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley hired Peter Criss in 
EXTD=the first place back in the early 1970's... Just listen to "OUT O
EXTD=F CONTROL" and decide for yourself which one of Criss and Simmons
EXTD= who has the most talent. If you want to take a shot at this good
EXTD= album, be sure you don't end up with the version released on the
EXTD= obscure record company (?) "Beth records" because that one is in

EXTD=ntrol is Peter Criss' ticket to freedom. Finally unchained from t
EXTD=he shackles that KISS kept on his creativity, the album showcases
EXTD= the diversity of his songwriting. Out of Control opens with the 
EXTD=soft orchestrated ballad, By Myself, featuring the line "By mysel
EXTD=f/ Starting over again/ By myself/ Looks like this time I'm on my
EXTD= own". Obviously this line is meant as a cry of freedom. This is 
EXTD=a very nice song. Violins and cellos echo behind Peter's vocals t
EXTD=o create a layered effect. In Trouble Again is a good rock and ro
EXTD=ll tune with sharp drumming by Peter. It's a decent song but noth
EXTD=ing special. Where Will They Run is slowed down a bit again to a 
EXTD=mid-tempo. It's got a good groove to it and is a decent song as w

EXTD=reat song with a good piano track and a superb vocal by Peter. Wo

EXTD=ltzy for my tastes. You Better Run is a passable song except for 
EXTD=the background singers; I don't like the falsetto "HIIIIIIDE!!!" 
EXTD=that they bellow. My Life is another catchy tune with a dominant 
EXTD=piano track. Feel Like Letting Go wraps up Out of Control. It is 
EXTD=a nice slow groove with a good performance by Peter on vocals and
EXTD= more orchestration. Out of Control is a surprisingly good album,
EXTD= dare I say even better than Peter's 1978 solo album?! The songwr
EXTD=iting is strong, the musicianship is tight and the album has a co
