"The album was 20 years in the making," Ace Frehley says, in reference to the years that have elapsed since Trouble Walkin' in 1989 and the September 15 worldwide release of Anomaly. "I started tracking in 2007. I tried to make it as close to my first solo as possible because most of my fans cite that as their favourite record, y’know? I did an interview the other day and I ask the guy, who had heard the whole album in its entirety, what he thought of the record, and he said ‘You could call it ‘Son of,’ you know? So hopefully I think I achieved that."
