A lot of us thought at first, "Symphony"?? LAME!! NOT SO!!! I was greatly disappointed when I found out that the original Alive IV was scrapped, but this is a great sounding album. The symphony adds so much to these great classics. I am a huge Ace fan myself, but he chose not to participate and Tommy Thayer does a fine job of keeping the Kiss vibe intact. Don't deprive yourself of this disc because Ace isn't on it.
