Alice Cooper - Raise Your Fist and Yell

1987 album for the shock metal innovator. Album Description

It's a Keeper!

Alice Cooper (vocals) Kane Roberts (guitars) Alice Cooper has a GREAT voice and Kane Roberts is a GREAT guitarist. If you like strong vocals and loud guitars this should work for you. This album cover is not my favorite, but...! December 16, 2008

Sick Album

Raise your Fist and yell is a Cooper Classic. From the opening track "Freedom," to the insanity of "Gail", and "Roses on white Lace", this album does not disapoint. The Guitar playing and drumming are as great as Cooper's "tounge in Cheek" lyrics. (IE. the end of chop, chop, chop, into Gail) The only negatives for this cd would be the bad 80's wet production and the filler song Give the Radio Back.
Great album, buy it! August 19, 2008

Worth a listen...

First off, this thing was out of print for a looong time, so I'm glad to see it available again (finally) on CD, and picked up a copy from Amazon.

You've got the same basic lineup (Kane and Kip) as the Constrictor album, but it's heavier, as it doesn't have the (over)used electronic drum sound from Constrictor.

While I don't think this album is as strong, it has it moments. The three songs at the end have some great 'tongue in cheek' and dark Alice humor to them.

Give the Radio Back got some airplay back in the day, and it's an okay song. Step on You has a killer groove, while Lock Me Up and Not That Kind Of Love are great Alice tunes.

I also always loved the cover art on this album.

Curiously...even on tour for the next album (TRASH), nothing from this record was performed live.

Not a bad record overall, if you're a Cooper fan, you'll find a few tunes to enjoy.

Roberts and Winger

Kane Roberts and Kip Winger contribute to this release from Alice Cooper and really bring the music to life. Winger's sense of rhythm and background vocals make everything better and Roberts can play guitar with the best of them. These songs are rockers and this is one of my favorites by the Coop.

Really Heavy!

I'm a Fan of 80's Alice Cooper. I do like the stuff before and after but my favorites are his 80's albums. This is my least favorite of the 80's albums by Alice. This album came out in 1987 to my knowledge. To me this album has a really heavy sound to it. I would say metal is a good word. I think the only song that I could listen to on repeat was Gail, a hunting song about a corpse. Other than that the rest of the album was a really hard to listen to. I think Alice was trying out metal music but not really wanting to go on with it. I say this because after this album follows Trash his 1989 release. It had more pop and rock to it. If you dig metal music by this but if you want Alice on a lighter note buy Constrictor or Trash! September 2, 2007
