"Long Way Down" is a song by the American rock band Kiss from their 2012 studio album Monster.
[3] Brett Weiss in his Encyclopedia of Kiss calls "Long Way Down" "one of several solid, but ultimately forgettable songs on Monster".
[3] Billy Dukes in his review at Ultimate Classic Rock describes "Long Way Down" as a "meaty rock song" and notes that "with a big, beefy guitar riff and in your face message" it "could fit on many albums from the band's past".
He also adds that its "thin melody and screaming electro guitars" make it arguably "very Van Halen-esque".
He concludes his review saying that with "Long Way Down" "Kiss reaffirms, rather than expands, their brand" and that the song is "more than sufficient in proving that as they approach 40 years together, they're still well-worth the ticket price", but still "it's not the hit that will convince those keeping them out of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to change their vote".
