#1388 Ace Frehley - Space Invader

Look, word got around our tiny office that Ace had an album out that had lurched its way up some billboard chart's dinosaur ass. So, fuckit.

Look, if my buddy said "my dad made this album in his home studio" I'd politely (but sincerely!) say "hey, this sounds really good!" But there'd be this unspoken "...for an album that some random dude slapped together".

And that's is where this album lands: the guitar chops are solid, the songwriting AC/DC-simple but good enough for what it is. But the mix is thin, with almost nothing to surprise you at any point. The phoned-in cover of SMB's The Joker just about sums it up. Hey! you made classic rocking! That's great champ 2.5/5
