Alice Cooper rocks

This is one of the first albums I purchased by Alice Cooper and I still love it today. Cooper gets back to a little harder edge on this release as well as RAISE YOUR FIST AND YELL. He is helped out by Kip Winger and Kane Roberts and their influence is right up front. January 10, 2008

Alice pop rock

First I love Alice Cooper. After a couple of so so releases Alice made his comeback with Constrictor. It's good Alice but this and his next few are more of a poprock Alice. Still it has its moments. January 5, 2008

He's Back!!

He's Back!! To quote the last(and one of the best might I add)songs on the disc Alice Cooper truly is back. After 4 pretty lame records (For a guy named Alice Cooper anyway) 2 of witch were probobly the single 2 worst almems ever made "Zipper Catches Skin" and "DaDa"(Alice himself says he was so heavly into booze at the time he doesn't even remember ever recording those two)that coupled with the fact that starting with "Flush The Fashion" Alice was trying to shed the shock rock image.he VERY image that made Alice who he was.So after getting sober and a three year break after "DaDa" The Coop returned to his roots.and the Father of Shock,Glam,Goth,and Stage thatrics was back.The whole album rocks.From the opening track "Teenage Frankinstien",th He's Back(The Man Behind The Mask) the theme from Friday the 13th part 6 Jason lives.In fact if you have the box set The life and crimes of Alice Cooper there is a demo verson of He's back on it. The demo is not on this album but the music is.The music was used for the song "Trick Bag"Track 7!! This Album Proves that The Coop "THE REAL COOP"was still there.....Maybe he never left.Anyway He's Back!!!Buy the Disc!!!***** out of ***** October 31, 2007

Cooper Goes Hair Metal

Alice takes 3 years off to sober up and get his life back together. With the release of "Constrictor" Alice teams up with guitarist Kane Roberts and bassist Kip Winger to re-invent himself as a hair metal rocker. "Constrictor" would be the first in a series of 4 albums with Roberts and Winger that would eventually get Cooper back to the top of the rock n roll heap. With the release of "Constrictor" Cooper made a very successful comeback mounting "The Nightmare Returns" tour which was also made into a very successful live video concert recording. The album gets mixed reviews from Cooper fans. Many new fans discovered Cooper during the late 80's period and love this stuff, but most older fans find it somewhat lacking. I have to give Cooper credit for totally updating his sound at the time and doing something completely different from what had made him famous. Most of this album is pretty average hair metal, but there are a few exceptions. The opening track "Teenage Frankenstein" is a good one mining similar territory to the Cooper classic "18" about teenage angst and coming of age. "Life And The Death Of The Party:" has a killer hook and seems like it could have been a hit. The final track "He's Back" was the theme from the motion picture "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives". It actually got Cooper back on the radio and the video got some airplay on MTV. It was not a big hit, but enough to remind people that Cooper was still around and by far his most successful single since "Clones". The song is actually completely different than the rest of the album with keyboard synths being the main instrument instead of Robert's metal guitar. Overall I find this to be an average Cooper release, but it does have it's moments. December 15, 2006
