Gene Simmons told Billboard that Monster is “one of the best or the top three albums we’ve ever done.”
“A lot of the lyrics and points of view have less to do with sort of the cocksmanship, craftsmanship — ‘Hey babe, I’m gonna rock you all night long,’ and are more about sort of primal notions about who we are and how we feel so something like The Devil is Me, for instance, is more confessional; you can keep pointing your fingers at all the evil in the world, but you’ve got some of it and here’s the Lord’s decree — the devil is me. Maybe there’s a little devil in all of us.”
Paul Stanley has once again produced the album for the group. Expect a world tour in support of the album after its release.
