Frehley's Comet is the second solo album by "Ace Frehley" (ex-Kiss). This is the first album by Frehley after leaving the Kiss band.
In 1987, the music landscape was a curious beast. Glam rock's glitter had faded, replaced by the angst-ridden leather of Guns N' Roses and the neon theatrics of Bon Jovi. It was a time of big hair and even bigger egos, and against this backdrop, former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley unleashed his debut solo album, *Frehley's Comet*, a sonic middle finger to both his estranged bandmates and the changing tides of rock and roll.
Frehley, forever known as "The Spaceman" in Kiss thanks to his elaborate stage persona, had never been shy about his love of all things extraterrestrial. *Frehley's Comet* embraced that love fully, with its chrome-plated cover art depicting a sleek spaceship soaring through a starfield. This wasn't a subtle affair; Frehley was planting his flag firmly in the realm of unapologetic hard rock.
But peel back the spaceship exterior and you'll find a surprisingly diverse musical exploration. Sure, there are plenty of trademark Frehley scorchers like the opener "Rock Soldiers" and the fist-pumping "We Got Your Rock," but there are also moments of genuine tenderness, like the ballad "Love Me Right." "Into the Night," a cover of Russ Ballard's power ballad, even throws in a touch of synth, a controversial choice at the time for a hard rock purist like Frehley. Frehley wa
sn't exactly known for his vocal prowess, but here he lets loose with a raw, passionate delivery that perfectly complements the music. Produced by Eddie Kramer, a veteran who had worked with everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Led Zeppelin, the album boasts a crisp, polished sound that allows Frehley's riffs and solos to truly shine. Recorded at the famed Record Plant Studios in New York City, a breeding ground for countless rock classics, *Frehley's Comet* feels like a product of its time and place, a defiant roar amidst the changing landscape of 80s rock.
