Summary

Episode 651. Peter Criss released a brand new self-titled album at the end of 2025. Many have been asking for us to review it, so we sit down and discuss the new album. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, we think most will be very pleasantly surprised with Peter’s new album. It is most definitely NOT anything like his album One For All.
