1. Welcome 2 My Nightmare. Musically diverse and delivered with spirit (who else would be daring enough to ape a Glitter Band sound - as on The Congregation - but Alice?). Just a lot of fun from start to finish. 2. Brutal Planet. Rarely as Alice sounded so angry as he does here. Born-again Christian...

I agree. With each return he's become less interesting.

In anticipation of giving the re-sequenced version a try, I gave the album a listen in one go on Saturday night. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and I can't help but think that this is one of the (relatively) recent releases to which I didn't give enough time the first time around. If memor...

I don't slavishly follow every word Alice Cooper says. I just listen to the music.

I had no idea but if that's true then that neatly blows my theory out of the water!

The character of Steven, as first introduced to Sick Things far and wide on Welcome To My Nightmare has been something of a recurring figure in Alice's music and, while nothing can beat his creepy arrival on that fine album, his occasional reappearance has often felt to me like a nod to his long-ser...

There comes a point with any fan where they jump ship when they feel their favourite artist has lost their way. The consequence of that, of course, is that those fans are unaware of when that artist finds their way again. For me, Alice returned to form with Welcome 2 My Nightmare. As for The Hollywo...

Well, maybe so but "The Last Temptation" was also a pretty big clue.

Oh, yeah!

Alice delivers a dark narrative based on what we saw unfolding everyday. I think it lead to a three-fold narrative to the albums due to his faith and his awareness of the current events of the time...exceptional lyrically for the purpose that they were created for, but musically, they just live and...

Was the OP asking if the album would have sold more had it been released at a different time? Apologies; I thought they were asking if they would've felt differently about the album had it been released at a different time.

I put RYFAY on today and listened to the whole thing in the car, not recognising that it was the album's 30th anniversary (maths not being my strongest suit). I think, at the time, it was just great to have some Alice records with some real bite to them. Apart from the opening number, though, I'm no...

I wonder if, had it been released at a different time, it would have been different. I think that it would have been undoubtedly different for you had the album been released at a different time. Personally, I've always been able to divorce the release of an album, book, film etc from the date it w...
