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.

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.

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.

ALICE COOPER “Hey Stoopid” /LP/

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!!

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.

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 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!

- Price in bonus-scraps: 249
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 second full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal band.
Alkoholizer are back! Brewed in 2006 in Sardinia and ready to party, their first bottle was called "Demo-Lizer" demo with four tracks. After that, a full-length album entitled "Drunk Or Dead..." made sure people got the message: beer and more beer, an excellent album and the bar was open.
After few problems with band members, they went off business for a while and now have returned thirstier than ever with a new formation as well. Vocalist Alessandro and drummer Gabriele, who both played on "Drunk Or Dead...", have departed. A new drummer has been brought in and bassist Fabrizio is now handling the vocals. Besides that, the band also recruited a second guitarist, which results in a couple of solo vs. solo situations. Also, Fabrizio taken on the vocals duties. In 2013, they released an EP to state that the Sardinian boars had returned and now we've been offered a new studio album.
Alkoholizer didn't want to change anything from their last record as Fabrizio's vocals is just a replica of Alessandro's. So, the recipe is here and it is very good, fans of Tankard will love this band and get drunk too; the production is very good, everything sounds cool and art cover is brilliant. Great melodies and crazy choruses, the guitars do a fantastic job and the drummer kicks asses; lots of variation, cool bass lines, solos and… f*ck it, you're going to open another beer!
Closes down the bar with golden keys... don't worry, tomorrow you're open it again! Excellent, excellent, great album, amazing work!!

All Shall Perish's debut, "Hate, Malice, Revenge," was originally released in 2003 on a tiny Japanese label called Amputated Vein. Yes, it is rather convenient timing on Nuclear Blast's part to re-release the album in 2005, when modern heavy metal was peaking in popularity. But the fact of the matter is this isn't metalcore; this is deathcore, darn it!
All Shall Perish is here to take over the world!! This five-piece "melodic hardcore death-metal" band from Oakland, California have a very fresh and very unique sound. This band is extremely talented and are deadset on reaching their goal to become the first band to really cross over in the hardcore and deathmetal scenes. By blending melodic "Swedish-style" deathmetal riffs with ultra brutal, dancefloor clearing breakdowns and the occassional technical metal guitar part, along with dueling "guttural" and "screaming" vocals, an intricate mix is created that is groove-inducing yet it ignites the flames of anger deep inside the souls of any listener.

Third full-length album by the American Deathcore band.
When Metal historians look back on the 2000s, they will no doubt remember the first decade of the 21st century as a time in which Europe dominated Death Metal, Black Metal and Gothic Metal while the United States dominated Metalcore. That said, it isn't as though U.S. Metal bands and European Metal bands are oblivious to one another in the 21st century: American Metalheads are often influenced by European Metalheads, and vice-versa. "On Awaken The Dreamers", California's All Shall Perish maintain a sound that is essentially American but has a definite fondness for European Metal. The material on this 2008 release is Technical Metalcore with elements of Technical Death Metal, specifically the Technical Death Metal coming out of Scandinavia. All Shall Perish sound like an American band, which they are; Technical Metalcore is the primary ingredient, but Nordic Death Metal is a prominent influence. Although "Awaken The Dreamers" has its melodic moments, melody and nuance are really afterthoughts on this 35-minute CD.
Ultimately, "Awaken The Dreamers" is about brute force; nasty, harsh, dense, and unapologetically vicious, All Shall Perish go for the jugular more often than not. "Awaken The Dreamers" isn't a bad album; the material isn't remarkable, but it is generally worthwhile. Countless other U.S. bands have been mining the "Technical American Metalcore meets Technical European Death Metal" waters, and while All Shall Perish aren't the absolute best of the lot, "Awaken The Dreamers" is at least a decent and noteworthy effort from these brutal Northern Californians!
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett listed the album as one of his top 25 favorite albums from 2000 to 2009.
The album sold just under 5000 copies in its first week of release entering the Billboard 200 at number 126.
