The new Alice Cooper CD is really good. I'm up listening to it at 3am. (off work today so it's not a problem)

I gotta get this. AC has been my hero since jr. high school.

I saw him on the Wecome To My Nightmare tour back in the 70's.

This CD is all over the place and that's what I like about it. Dirty Diamonds was also a great release 2 CD's ago.

Alice and Cheap Trick are the 2 acts that have consistently been bringing it for years and keep my faith in music.

"Something To Remember Me By" might be the best ballad Alice has ever done and that is saying something!

This is really the best Alice Cooper release since the Last Temptation which was around 1995 I think . Dirty Diamonds was good , but this is really something else.

A lot of his old seventies sound in it. Certainly another top drawer relasese from this year.

Ok listening to it now. Phenomenal! The man still has it.

I can tell this is one that needs to be listened to in it's entirety. I'll give it a couple complete spins, but so far I like most of what I hear.

Yeah, I would say that it is one meant to be played from start to finish. The ballad and opening track can be spun on their own though I think.

You guys have any of the versions with the bonus tracks? Under the Bed - from the limited edition I believe - great track.

Yep, great song.

I'm loving this album....still.
It really takes me back.
I hear some Mellencamp, Beatles and, of course, some classic AC.
Also, the end instrumental song which pays tribute many of his legacy songs is really cool.
If you guys like Alice Cooper, you're gonna love this album. Sonically, it's excellent!
I give it a 98/100.
I deducted 2 for the sometimes obvious use of pro tools, but hey, the guy is still out there kicking ass, so who cares.....

And, finally, I'd like to thank you, Ed, for turning me on to this!

No problem. Listened to it again earlier today as well. Couldn't be happier with this release.

I love the first track especially! Very cool track, and the rest of the album is growing on me too.

Maybe the album of the year though Night Ranger and Whitesnake and Mr Big make a pretty compelling case for this honor as well.

Really?! Will have to check it out, I very much agree w/^^^^^

This will be mine...long live The Coop.

I was convinced this was going to be something like "my daughter is going to be old enough to date in 10 short years."

No in that case the thread would be titled "Im buying a shotgun and learning how to load and shoot it"

I understand that Bruce ,Dunnaway and Smith from the old Alice Cooper band is playing on here.
Can you see on how many tracks they are playing,and are they involved with the song writing on any songs????
Any inf. appreciated.

They all play together on "I'll Bite Your Face Off" , which Neal Smith (and Bob Erzin) wrote with Alice. Not sure of any inputs on other songs. Of course they all played together live at the RR HOF .

I'm partial to ballads on 'Trash', and 'Hey Stoopid'...and you need to check out Kane Roberts's solo album.

'Only my Heart Talkin' off 'Trash', feat. Steve Tyler is probably my favorite.

My favorite Alice ballad

Hey Stoopid is PHENOMENAL.

Trash too.

Used to have this (the one co-written by Desmond Child in case there's more than one), and loved it! Somewhere I have a photo I took of Kane's Rambo M-60-looking guitar from some Hard Rock Cafe' - I think it was the one in Chicago.

I'll have to pick up this new Alice Cooper CD on the way home. Is it exclusive to any one store, or can I find it at Best Buy?

Thanks.I really would wish that the 4 of them would get back and do a full album,followed by a tour.
Those old Coop albums really were something else.
