Another compilation album by legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
Vincent Furnier (Alice Cooper's real name) starts an Arizona garage Rock band called the Spiders through some credible, Fuzzed-out Yardbirds-styled Rock & Roll. Later the Spiders transform into Nazz, then to the Alice Cooper band. What made Alice Cooper a star? Sure, he had a tight, exciting band and some great songs that were as good as Hard Rock got in the early '70s, but he distinguished himself as a showman. By bringing shameless theatricality to Rock & Roll, he separated himself from the pack and became a superstar - the kind of person who is known for being himself more than for his achievements.
From psychedelic vomit manufacturer to Hard Rock God to Broadway to New Wave zany zapper to '80s Hair Metallist to modern Heavy Rock kingpin - he never stopped applying make-up to his face, hanging himself on stage or writing some of the most wonderfully sick Rock songs that man has ever deserved to enjoy!
Don't ever stop Rockin', Mr. Furnier!!

Re-release of the five early studio albums, in one set, by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock singer and his band.
Known for shocking stage shows and dark subject matter, Alice Cooper has never failed to make a strong impact. The peak of Alice Cooper's success was the timeless UK chart topper "School's Out", on the 1972 album of the same name. This collection contains all five Alice Cooper albums up to and including "School's Out".
The first two albums are Psychedelic, unlike the grotesque Rock usually associated with Alice Cooper; the style develops through "Love It To Death" (featuring the hits "I'm Eighteen" and "Ballad of Dwight Fry") and "Killer" (the album containing "Under My Wheels"). As the style changes from the sound of the 60s Rock to growling Metal with themes usually found in the 80s, the band transform from an ordinary band to one that was far ahead of its time!
Includes the following albums: "Pretties For You", "Easy Action", "Love It To Death", "Killer", "School's Out".

Re-release of the greatest hits album album by the legendary American Psychedelic/Hard Rock band.
The only greatest hits album by Alice Cooper as a band, as well as their last release. Originally released in 1974, it features hit songs from five of the band's seven studio albums - from their third album, "Love It To Death", to their seventh and last, "Muscle Of Love".
This compilation’s song versions were remixed by Jack Richardson at the time, with the remix of “I’m Eighteen” being released as a single in the US. The reason behind remixing the songs was perhaps to boost its appeal as "new" versions because no new tracks were available for inclusion by the group as they were on hiatus at the time. It does not include any material from their first two albums, "Pretties For You" and "Easy Action".

The fourth full-length studio album by the legendary American Psychedelic/Hard Rock band.
Following up the breakthrough success of "Love It to Death", Alice Cooper back with another album released the same year, producer again by Bob Ezrin.
The band's stage show dealt with the macabre, and such disturbing tracks as "Dead Babies" and the title track fit in perfectly. Other songs were even more exceptional, such as the perennial barnstorming concert standard "Under My Wheels", the melodic yet gritty "Be My Lover", and the tribute to their fallen friend Jim Morrison, "Desperado". The long and winding "Halo of Flies" correctly hinted that the band would be tackling more complex song structures on future albums, while "You Drive Me Nervous" and "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" showed that Alice Cooper hadn't completely abandoned their early Garage Rock direction.
“Killer” is the third-most-represented album in Alice Cooper’s concert set-lists behind “Welcome To My Nightmare” and “Billion Dollar Babies”. With "Killer", they became one of the world's top Rock bands and concert attractions; it rewarded them as being among the most notorious and misunderstood entertainers, thoroughly despised by grownups!
The album reached number 21 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and the two singles "Under My Wheels" and "Be My Lover" made the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. called “Killer” the greatest Rock album of all time.

The 25th full-length album by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
Cooper's highest-charting album in the US since "Hey Stoopid" in 1991.
Throughout his long career, Alice Cooper has taken full advantage of how concept albums allow for more ambitious songwriting and memorable, layered characters who get more than one song to tell their stories. They're always tortured stories with social outcasts rebelling against turbulent childhoods or other traumatic whatnot, but this time the stakes are much higher. The storyline for the album was first revealed on Cooper's radio show "Nights with Alice Cooper". The theme of the album revolves around a "cool, calm and collected" serial killer known as Spider. The police are baffled by the bodies of Spider's victims, which are cocooned in a silk web, and are each missing a leg. Spider's task is to collect eight legs in order to complete the construction of his own spider. However, things get complicated when he falls in love with his eighth victim.
While the casual fan will feel that some of the less gripping songs are just here to move the story along, fanatics will gush as Alice once again acts as host and narrator and revives the character Steven, the young boy who broke all his toys on Nightmare. With a serial killer as lead and titles like "(In Touch With) Your Feminine Side" and "The One That Got Away", Alice fills his lyrics with clever and gruesome wordplay, but the winner here is the only plausible single, "Wake the Dead", which shockingly and shamelessly borrows the bassline from the Chemical Brothers' "Let Forever Be".
Guitarist Slash, Kiss drummer Eric Singer and background vocalist extraordinaire Bernard Fowler all make appearances, while Renaissance man Danny Saber handles the production with co-producer Greg Hampton, which appropriately sounds soundtrack big.
An easy recommendation for fan club members and/or serial killers!

The eighteenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer and his band.
“Trash” became one of Cooper's biggest albums, featuring "Poison", Cooper's first top ten hit since his Single "You And Me" in 1977. A successful year-long worldwide concert tour in support of the album was documented in the home video release “Alice Cooper Trashes The World”.
The album features many guest performances including Jon Bon Jovi, Stiv Bators, Steven Tyler, as well as singer/guitarist Kane Roberts, who left Cooper's band in 1988. Songwriting contributions were also made by Joan Jett, Diane Warren, Jon Bon Jovi, and Richie Sambora.
Probably, the best Cooper’s album and one of the best albums in Hard Rock/Heavy Metal history.

Re-release of the 22nd full-length studio album by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
Like "Brutal Planet", the album displays a heavier style than many of his previous releases. Unarguably a continuation of “Brutal Planet”, with Cooper and Marlette again collaborating, and Cooper surrounding himself with a tighter than tight band – Eric Dover, Tim Pierce, Ryan Roxie and Kenny Aronoff. Cooper and Marlette, by now enjoying a collusive and confident songwriting relationship, fan that creative spark into something more substantial on "Dragontown". Here, Cooper is guided by a greater sense of social commentary and narrative complexity. He torques up the tension on funereal elegy, "Deeper" and laces "Sex, Death & Money"’s morality tale with dark humour. "Somewhere In The Jungle" and "I Just Wanna Be God" are less about the music and more about creating a clinging, dream-like atmosphere, where the message is hammered home by heavyweight guitars and pounding beats. This time around, a couple of more commercial (or at least accessible) tracks are to be found among the grim tales of alienation and materialism. "Triggerman" keeps a foothold in Cooper’s big chorus, big hook past, and the endearing ballad, "Every Woman Has A Name" add greater musical and emotional range to "Dragontown", providing radio with an opportunity to play Cooper’s new music, without compromising anyone’s position.
The album peaked on Billboard's “Top Independent Albums” Chart at #12, and the Billboard 200 at #197. This is the first Alice Cooper studio album to contain no singles.

Second re-release of the 21st and 22nd full-length albums in one Set by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Heavy Metal singer.
These two releases confirmed Cooper’s artistic reinvention, but failed commercially. Cooper’s subsequent recordings saw his return to the theatrical, melodic Hard Rock of his earlier career.
First re-release of these two albums in one set was in 2007 by Snapper Music, with another artwork.
"Brutal Planet" is the 21st full-length studio album by Alice Cooper, released in 2000.
The album displays a heavier style than many of his previous releases. Musically, this finds Alice tackling a much darker and heavier approach than on previous albums, with many songs approaching a somewhat modern-sounding, Industrial/Metal sound. Lyrically, it's a concept album that deals with themes of dark "social fiction", including domestic violence ("Take It Like a Woman"), prejudice ("Blow Me a Kiss"), war ("Pick Up the Bones") and school shootings ("Wicked Young Man"). The album is the second album in a trilogy of albums (beginning with "The Last Temptation" and ending with "Dragontown").
Hooking up with Bob Marlette in 2000 was one of the best things Alice Cooper could have done. Cooper had written with a host of acclaimed songwriters on previous albums, but writing a full album with a producer and songwriter as skilled and talented as Marlette gave Cooper new voice. There’s a sense of purpose and cohesion to "Brutal Planet" that make it infinitely greater than the sum of its parts.
The music is a natural successor to previous album "The Last Temptation", replacing that album’s comic book melodrama with a condemnation of the West’s moral decline. His savage satires are deployed like RPGs, propelled by Marlette’s sturdy, insidious melodies, and a production that takes a huge transgressive sideways step into the world of Industrial Metal, only with better tunes. It doesn’t venture too deep into the darkness, just far enough for the downtuned guitars to add a doomy, driving clang to Cooper’s bruising meditations on death, decay and despair. And winningly, despite the subject matter, the songs have their blood spattered boots firmly planted in memorable melodies and short, sharp choruses. The stomping, half spoken "Sanctuary" and the powerful "Blow Me A Kiss" are formidable assaults on the senses. Cooper’s protagonist exclaims his paranoia with slashing ferocity on the former, and on the latter, lines up discrimination in his gunsights, lightening both songs with sturdy tunes and head turning hooks.
And that’s what makes this album work so well. Marlette’s arrangements may often include short bursts of deliberate dissonance – usually where we expect an emotive swell of guitars/keyboards/synths – that reflect the subject matter, but they’ve written songs filled with ascending choruses and catchy tunes. The soaring power ballads, "Pick Up The Bone" and "Take It Like A Woman" are cases in point. They deal in death and dysfunction, but are realised in hi def melodies that never undermine the weight and meaning of the lyrics. It’s a surprisingly effective combination!

Re-release of the 23rd and 24th full-length albums in one Set by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
"The Eyes Of Alice Cooper" is the 23rd full-length studio album by Alice Cooper, that was released on September 23, 2003 by Spitfire Records (a division Eagle Rock Entertainment).
With this album, Cooper returned to his earlier Hard Rock sound, in the vein of "The Last Temptation", and left the Heavy/Industrial Metal sound found in his last two studio albums.
This is a wonderfully refreshing album. It is very much a return to the style of the original Alice Cooper band; it sounds like a bunch of guys just jamming in someone's garage for a while and recording themselves for the hell of it. This album is simple, rough, and Punkish, veering away from the dark and sadistic direction Alice had previously taken. Most of this album is dominated by a very old school Rock And Roll approach; it is positively dripping with Iggy Pop and MC5 influence. This is a stripped-down Rock And Roll album with no frills, no gimmicks, and no-holds-barred Punk attitude. Yet another experiment pays off for Alice, who sounds right at home snarling and screaming these simple songs. This album has soul and spirit that very few other Alice Cooper albums possess; the rawness and simplicity convey a genuineness that makes hearing this album a rewarding experience. The production isn't nearly as professional or clean as anything Alice did from the demise of the original band up to this point, and that is the best possible sound for "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper". The groovy bass and occasional saxophones help solidify the classic Rock And Roll aesthetic.
It had been a long time since Alice Cooper released anything in this vein. Standouts like "What Do You Want From Me" and "I'm So Angry" are just the kind of loud, abrasive, fun music that the original Punk bands used to play in the '70s. The lyrics to "Detroit City" truly embody the nature of this album; it's a "Shock Rock choppin' block, songs to make your heart stop". It's a shame that so much of Alice Cooper's catalog gets overlooked, because "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper" is an excellent album!!
Of note is the album cover, which was released in four different versions, featuring alternate colours in Cooper's eyes and the crescent around the 'A' in the title. It was available in blue, green, purple and red.
"Dirty Diamonds" is the 24th full-length studio album by Alice Cooper, released on July 4, 2005 internationally by Eagle Rock Records, and August 2 in the US by Spitfire Records (a division Eagle Rock Entertainment).
After the return to the garage feel of "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper" Alice continued down the same road with "Dirty Diamonds". However this is generally a more satisfying album with a greater diversity of material from the AC/DC Hard Rock of "Woman Of Mass Distraction", through the Stonesy "You Make Me Wanna" or "Perfect" to the country feel of the hysterical "Saga of Jesse Jane".
Alice has evolved almost entirely from his Shock Rock image and, as he has throughout his career, displays his vocal dexterity as he moves from ballad to Hard Rock to humor. Although he's no longer the acknowledged prince of Shock Rock, "Zombie Dance" and "Run Down Down the Devil" are reminiscent of the time when he created the model for artists like Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie.
With 24 studio albums and 35 years of performing under his belt, Cooper is one of the few Classic Rock artists still performing whose current work is comparable to what he was doing at the peak of his popularity! A classic album!!
The album peaked on Billboard's "Top Independent Albums" chart at #17, and the Billboard 200 album chart at #169 - Cooper's highest charting album since The "Last Temptation", 11 years prior.

It is very much a return to the style of the original Alice Cooper band; it sounds like a bunch of guys just jamming in someone's garage for a while and recording themselves for the hell of it. This album is simple, rough, and Punkish, veering away from the dark and sadistic direction Alice had previously taken. Most of this album is dominated by a very old school Rock And Roll approach; it is positively dripping with Iggy Pop and MC5 influence. This is a stripped-down Rock And Roll album with no frills, no gimmicks, and no-holds-barred Punk attitude. Yet another experiment pays off for Alice, who sounds right at home snarling and screaming these simple songs. This album has soul and spirit that very few other Alice Cooper albums possess; the rawness and simplicity convey a genuineness that makes hearing this album a rewarding experience. The production isn't nearly as professional or clean as anything Alice did from the demise of the original band up to this point, and that is the best possible sound for "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper". The groovy bass and occasional saxophones help solidify the classic Rock And Roll aesthetic.
It had been a long time since Alice Cooper released anything in this vein. Standouts like "What Do You Want From Me" and "I'm So Angry" are just the kind of loud, abrasive, fun music that the original Punk bands used to play in the '70s. The lyrics to "Detroit City" truly embody the nature of this album; it's a "Shock Rock choppin' block, songs to make your heart stop". It's a shame that so much of Alice Cooper's catalog gets overlooked, because "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper" is an excellent album!!
Of note is the album cover, which was released in four different versions, featuring alternate colours in Cooper's eyes and the crescent around the 'A' in the title. It was available in blue, green, purple and red.
"Dirty Diamonds" is the 24th full-length studio album by Alice Cooper, released on July 4, 2005 internationally by Eagle Rock Records, and August 2 in the US by Spitfire Records (a division Eagle Rock Entertainment).
After the return to the garage feel of "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper" Alice continued down the same road with "Dirty Diamonds". However this is generally a more satisfying album with a greater diversity of material from the AC/DC Hard Rock of "Woman Of Mass Distraction", through the Stonesy "You Make Me Wanna" or "Perfect" to the country feel of the hysterical "Saga of Jesse Jane".
Alice has evolved almost entirely from his Shock Rock image and, as he has throughout his career, displays his vocal dexterity as he moves from ballad to Hard Rock to humor. Although he's no longer the acknowledged prince of Shock Rock, "Zombie Dance" and "Run Down Down the Devil" are reminiscent of the time when he created the model for artists like Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie.
With 24 studio albums and 35 years of performing under his belt, Cooper is one of the few Classic Rock artists still performing whose current work is comparable to what he was doing at the peak of his popularity! A classic album!!
The album peaked on Billboard's "Top Independent Albums" chart at #17, and the Billboard 200 album chart at #169 - Cooper's highest charting album since The "Last Temptation", 11 years prior.

The nineteenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
The 80s had been a bad time for Alice Cooper. Nondescript albums and failed attempts at flirting with other musical tendencies had left the Shock King dangerously close to losing most of the fanbase he had garnered in the 70s. Even the perfectly decent albums, like 1985’s "Constrictor", failed to convince or impress the fans, who longed for the halcyon days of "Killer". A comeback of sorts was made with 1988’s "Trash", an album that showed Alice revitalized and updated for the new decade, and flirting with the “in” sounds of the late 80s, namely Glam Rock. In view of that album’s acceptance and success, the exact same template was used for "Trash"’s follow-up, 1990s "Hey Stoopid". The results were, again, above average, even if this album is not as highly regarded as its predecessor.
For "Hey Stoopid", Alice takes his cues from what was still popular at the time: the vibrant, gushy, shiny Hard Rock of bands like Poison, Warrant or Firehouse. It comes as no surprise, then, that "Burning Our Bed" comes across as something Guns’n’Roses may have written at the time, or that the overall sound relies heavily on the huge crunchy riffs, sweeping keyboards and shouty backing vocals of Glam Rock, while endowing them with an extra dosage of class.
Experienced artist and master songwriter that he is, Alice surrounds himself with the cream of the Hard Rock crop this time around. His “regular” band consists of guitarist Stef Burns, bassist Hugh McDonald, drummer Mickey Curry and keyboardists Robert Bailey and John Webster. However, the album is absolutely littered with guest appearances, including: Slash, Joe Satriani, Vinnie Moore and Steve Vai, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars (who co-wrote “Die For You”), plus Ozzy Osbourne providing backing vocals on the album’s title track. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, provided the spoken word part on “Feed My Frankenstein”, a song co-written by Zodiac Mindwarp.
The album was produced by Peter Collins, famed for his work with Rush and Queensyrche, among many others. The album featured three hit singles: the title track, “Love’s A Loaded Gun” and “Feed My Frankenstein” (the latter was performed in the 1992 comedy film "Wayne’s World", in which Alice also starred).
"Hey Stoopid" is heavily recommended to not only Alice fans, but Hard Rockers in general.

Re-release of the seventeenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
In the mid-'80s, Alice Cooper was able to crawl out of obscurity and rebuild his cult following. Though 1986's "Constrictor" and the supporting Nightmare Returns tour hardly commanded mainstream attention, the album and tour were his most successful in years, proving Cooper still had enough life to launch a full-fledged comeback. Not even a year after the release of "Constrictor", Cooper released "Raise Your Fist And Yell", which is more of a return to his dark thematic role than its predecessor.
The album continues the slasher film trend created by Cooper’s previous album "Constrictor". It's features the track “Prince of Darkness”, which is featured very briefly in the John Carpenter film of the same name, in which Cooper has a cameo as a murderous vagrant. The song can be heard on the Walkman of one of his victims. The track “Lock Me Up” features a guest appearance from Robert Englund, who portrayed Freddy Krueger in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series.
"Raise Your Fist And Yell" is the only Alice Cooper album to feature Ken K. Mary on drums and the second and last to feature Kip Winger on bass.
With "Raise Your Fist And Yell", Cooper embraced his past while still managing to sound fun and exciting. Overall, it still seems surprising that 1989's "Trash" completely deserted Cooper's menacing, villainous role. After all, "Raise Your Fist And Yell", though far from a highlight, showed Cooper was still able to provide both Rock anthems and theatrical experiments - and do it rather well, for that matter!

The fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
Cooper’s last album until his sober re-emergence in 1986 with the album "Constrictor". Cooper had relapsed to drinking heavily during the recording of "DaDa". The album was a contract fulfillment requirement for which Warner Bros. was not pleased and consequently made no effort to promote. "DaDa" was Cooper’s final album for his long-time label Warner Bros., and after its release, he took a three-year hiatus from the music industry. In 1996, Cooper said that "DaDa" was the scariest album he ever made, and that he never had any idea what it was about. There was no tour to promote "DaDa", and none of its songs has ever been played live.
This album was very disappointing from a sales point of view, and that is certainly a shame. As Alice Cooper albums go, this one is really far above average. It seems to be one of his albums that tried to merge the older, creepy style with a newer, more Alternative style. From the spooky opening tones of the title track, that horror movie chic that Cooper did so well is quite apparent. Other tracks, such as "Former Lee Warmer", also do well at capturing that sort of a mood. Still, there are lighter-hearted, more Alternative Rock-type pieces such as "Scarlet and Sheba" and "Enough's Enough". One the humorous side, Cooper gives "I Love America" and "Dyslexia". The lyrical pun to the latter cut is absolutely priceless.
The album’s theme is ambiguous; however, ongoing themes in the songs’ lyrics suggest that the main character in question, Sonny, suffers from mental illness, resulting in the creation of many different personalities. The album alludes strongly to the dadaist movement: its cover was based on a painting by Salvador Dalí titled “Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire”.
"DaDa" peaked at No. 93 in the UK but failed to dent the US Billboard Top 200. "I Love America" was released as a single solely in the UK over a month after the album's release.
This album is a rather varied release, showcasing several sides of Cooper's musical tastes, but it is all very entertaining. If you missed it when it first came around, do yourself a favor and give it a try now!

First re-release of the twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American New Wave/Pop Rock singer.
Musically, the album was a drastic change of style for Cooper, leaning towards a New Wave influence. After several self-indulgent albums in the late '70s ("Lace And Whiskey", "From The Inside"), Alice Cooper decided to reinvent himself as a New Waver for 1980's "Flush The Fashion". As a result of a hooking up with Cars' producer Roy Thomas Baker, the sound is glossier; Baker also replaced the gritty guitar riffs that served as the basis for past Cooper Rock compositions with icy synthesizers. Alice wrote most of these songs in conjunction with Elton John's longtime guitarist, Davey Johnstone, and his future keyboardist, Fred Mandel. This unusual combination results in an album that can best be described as The Best of The Cars sung by Alice Cooper (with just a dose of Huey Lewis & The News). As distinctly dissimilar from Alice's past work as such a thing sounds, the formula pays off for the first half of the album; the jangly guitars and prominent synth lines of "Talk Talk" and "Clones (We're All)" suggest that Alice could have a future here. His vocals might be unusually clean and the songs might be surprisingly friendly, but Alice is a true chameleon; he wears many colors and he wears them well, for the most part.
His classic Gothic Horror image of the 70's was replaced with stripped-down clothes, an uncomfortably clean-cut Alice Cooper sporting fully-tamed hair, a noticeable absence of makeup, and a lot less Alice than we're used to seeing.
1980 was not a good year for Alice, as evidenced by his corpse-like stare and fractured sense of self. He had no real band to speak of, and was fighting a losing battle with his career; the strong themes of missing identity in these songs offer insight into his mindset. It was a start of Cooper's "Blackout albums". It was around this time that Cooper relapsed into alcoholism, and his subsequent early-'80s releases ("Special Forces", "Zipper Catches Skin", "Dada") became more unpredictable and more uncharacteristic of the expected Alice Cooper direction and sound.
As an Alice Cooper album, "Flush The Fashion" makes no sense whatsoever. As an artifact of the New Wave tide that rose to prominence around that time, it sounds very dated, but not altogether kitschy; reasonably old-fashioned, but not drowned by being shackled to a fleeting point in time. A few gems like "Pain" still have charm, and after some time to assimilate it, the album isn't all that bad.
The best-known song of the album ended up being the cover "Clones (We're All)", which was in turn covered by the Smashing Pumpkins for their 1995 box set "The Aeroplane Flies High". Other highlights include the stately sounds of "Pain", the brief album-opening "Talk Talk", and one of the album's few riff Rockers, "Grim Facts".
The lead single "Clones (We're All)" peaked at No. 40 on the U.S. Billboard Top 40.
"Flush The Fashion", for its occasional successes, runs out of life quickly and, likely because of his questionable involvement, poorly captures Alice's true spirit and personality. It stands more as a forgotten point of interest that hardcore fans might find appealing than anything else.

First re-release of the fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary American New Wave/Pop Punk Rock singer.
The third in a run of four experimental albums issued by Cooper in the period. Co-produced by Cooper and his bassist at the time, Erik Scott, "Zipper Catches Skin" is musically known for its dry and energetic Hard Rock style, with Pop Punk and Post-Punk influences and less emphasis on hard riffs, carrying on a similar musical direction of the preceding "Special Forces" with sonically slicker and clearer results.
Cooper blended New Wave and Pop Rock music into his Hard Rock style in an attempt to keep up with changing musical trends. By 1982, Alice Cooper's brand of Shock Rock had been shoved out of the Pop-chart spotlight by new trends like Punk and New Wave. To counteract this decline in popularity, Cooper worked elements of these sounds into his style and also played up the satirical/comedic angle to his music. Cooper was still struggling with alcohol during these sessions, and that may have something to do with the lack of focus in the overall sound. Dick Wagner, who left halfway through the recording sessions, revealed in a segment of the Deleted Scenes on the 2014 documentary film "Super Duper Alice Cooper" that Alice was smoking crack cocaine at the time and had a curtain set up behind the recording mic with a stool on it where he kept his crack pipe. He and other members of the band would sneak behind the curtain to take hits in between recording takes. "Zipper Catches Skin" is the second of three albums, which Cooper refers to as his “blackout” albums. The others being the preceding album, "Special Forces", and the following album, "DaDa", as he has no recollection of recording them, due to the substance abuse, although he did manage to film a TV advert intended to promote "Zipper Catches Skin" at the time. Cooper stated “I wrote them, recorded them and toured them and I don’t remember much of any of that”, though he actually toured only "Special Forces". There was no tour to promote "Zipper Catches Skin", and none of its songs has ever been played live.
Lyrically, Cooper employed a much stronger focus on comical sarcasm and on avoiding using clichéd subject matter. Erik Scott has stated the album “was meant to be lean, stripped down, and low on frills. Punkish and bratty”.
Despite its first single “I Am the Future” being featured in the film "Class Of 1984" as its theme song, and The Waitresses’ Patty Donahue appearing on its other single “I Like Girls”, "Zipper Catches Skin" failed to chart in most countries, including in the US, where it became Cooper's first album to not dent the Billboard Top 200 since "Easy Action". In any case, "Zipper Catches Skin" contains enough solid tracks to make it a worthwhile listen for hardcore Alice Cooper fans!

The eighteenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer and his band.
“Trash” became one of Cooper's biggest albums, featuring "Poison", Cooper's first top ten hit since his Single "You And Me" in 1977. A successful year-long worldwide concert tour in support of the album was documented in the home video release “Alice Cooper Trashes The World”.
The album features many guest performances including Jon Bon Jovi, Stiv Bators, Steven Tyler, as well as singer/guitarist Kane Roberts, who left Cooper's band in 1988. Songwriting contributions were also made by Joan Jett, Diane Warren, Jon Bon Jovi, and Richie Sambora.

First European re-release of the nineteenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Shock Rock/Hard Rock/Glam Metal singer.
The 80s had been a bad time for Alice Cooper. Nondescript albums and failed attempts at flirting with other musical tendencies had left the Shock King dangerously close to losing most of the fanbase he had garnered in the 70s. Even the perfectly decent albums, like 1985’s "Constrictor", failed to convince or impress the fans, who longed for the halcyon days of "Killer". A comeback of sorts was made with 1988’s "Trash", an album that showed Alice revitalized and updated for the new decade, and flirting with the “in” sounds of the late 80s, namely Glam Rock. In view of that album’s acceptance and success, the exact same template was used for "Trash"’s follow-up, 1990s "Hey Stoopid". The results were, again, above average, even if this album is not as highly regarded as its predecessor.
For "Hey Stoopid", Alice takes his cues from what was still popular at the time: the vibrant, gushy, shiny Hard Rock of bands like Poison, Warrant or Firehouse. It comes as no surprise, then, that "Burning Our Bed" comes across as something Guns’n’Roses may have written at the time, or that the overall sound relies heavily on the huge crunchy riffs, sweeping keyboards and shouty backing vocals of Glam Rock, while endowing them with an extra dosage of class.
Experienced artist and master songwriter that he is, Alice surrounds himself with the cream of the Hard Rock crop this time around. His “regular” band consists of guitarist Stef Burns, bassist Hugh McDonald, drummer Mickey Curry and keyboardists Robert Bailey and John Webster. However, the album is absolutely littered with guest appearances, including: Slash, Joe Satriani, Vinnie Moore and Steve Vai, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars (who co-wrote “Die For You”), plus Ozzy Osbourne providing backing vocals on the album’s title track. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, provided the spoken word part on “Feed My Frankenstein”, a song co-written by Zodiac Mindwarp.
The album was produced by Peter Collins, famed for his work with Rush and Queensyrche, among many others. The album featured three hit singles: the title track, “Love’s A Loaded Gun” and “Feed My Frankenstein” (the latter was performed in the 1992 comedy film "Wayne’s World", in which Alice also starred).
"Hey Stoopid" is heavily recommended to not only Alice fans, but Hard Rockers in general.

The fourth full-length studio album by the legendary American Psychedelic/Hard Rock band.
Following up the breakthrough success of "Love It to Death", Alice Cooper back with another album released the same year, producer again by Bob Ezrin.
The band's stage show dealt with the macabre, and such disturbing tracks as "Dead Babies" and the title track fit in perfectly. Other songs were even more exceptional, such as the perennial barnstorming concert standard "Under My Wheels", the melodic yet gritty "Be My Lover", and the tribute to their fallen friend Jim Morrison, "Desperado". The long and winding "Halo of Flies" correctly hinted that the band would be tackling more complex song structures on future albums, while "You Drive Me Nervous" and "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" showed that Alice Cooper hadn't completely abandoned their early Garage Rock direction.
“Killer” is the third-most-represented album in Alice Cooper’s concert set-lists behind “Welcome To My Nightmare” and “Billion Dollar Babies”. With "Killer", they became one of the world's top Rock bands and concert attractions; it rewarded them as being among the most notorious and misunderstood entertainers, thoroughly despised by grownups!
The album reached number 21 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and the two singles "Under My Wheels" and "Be My Lover" made the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. called “Killer” the greatest Rock album of all time.
