sniper, it gets to a certain point where fans get sick and tired of hearing the same old "ill shoot you" type songs. kiss likes to try new things, if you can name me one song on that album where he didnt drop some real shit then try your best. if he was makin the same kind of songs he was 5 years ago, people would be like "this shit is gettin old, all he does is talk about different ways he can kill people," so hes tryin to talk about other things and people are criticizing him too. people like eminem, nas, etc. wouldn't have told him personally that he was better than them lyrically if he sucked lets put it that way. kiss is grown up now, no one wants to hear someone his age talkin bout the kinda shit he was talkin bout when he was young.
