Re: "Road" - Reviews

Well its been a couple of months or so now since the release of Road and having bought it on the day of release I still enjoy listening to it all the way through on a regular basis which is more than I can say for the previous 2 AC albums. I still really like it and I agree that 100 More Miles is fr...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

Well I like it more than Paranormal and Detroit Stories. As some others have said, there is a whiff of Eyes about it and I really Iiked that album as well. The Eyes production is a lot 'brighter' though which on balance I think I prefer. Not really too concerned about the lyrics at the moment as I j...

Re: Modification

Wow .... enjoyed that.... just watched the Toronto video. What a show. Saw it in Manchester but had forgotten just what an epic show it was. There is just so much going on. A worthy follow up to the Nightmare Returns show a year or so earlier. A shame it wasn't properly released but I guess we had o...

Re: Slow Growing Albums

I find the sooner you take to a song the faster it gets tired. I think the same can be said for albums. It's normally the albums you don't take to or songs that don't appeal that actually last the test of time. I also think there's a case for live shows to bring an album to life. Brutal Planet and ...

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

When Looking on the Amazon UK site there doesn't seem to be a CD+Blue ray option only a CD+DVD option. It says 'see all 9 options' but only offers a couple ..... any ideas?

Re: “Road,” August 25, 2023

Enjoyed the snippets, looking forward to the full release of Road, for me it sounds like a better prospect than the previous 2. Now here's a random thought, was just relaxing with a cup of coffee and starting thinking, never a good thing ...... the much requested album with the touring band followed...

Re: Decades - Chris Sutton's New Book on Alice in the 80s

Ordered mine through Sickthings. Not really my favourite period but the Special Forces tour was the first time I saw Alice live in concert so have a soft spot for this era and am intrigued to know, where possible, any additional information as to what was 'going on'......more in a musical sense.

Re: The Alice Cooper album of the Day: ALONG CAME A SPIDER

I was quite enthused when hearing the prelaunch blurb and a few samples but when I heard the whole album I thought what a wasted opportunity. Interesting concept but what a disappointment. Can't remember the last time I listened to it and have no great desire to give it another listen. Bottom of my ...

Re: Songs You Would Like to Hear Remade?

Like your thinking Lordcatfish. I like Dada but think a couple of other songs could do with a kick up the backside to give them a more raw edge eg Scarlett and Sheba & Enough's Enough.

Re: Brutal Planet

Always had a soft spot fort this album. On first listen all those years ago I found it very intense and almost an exhausting listen but grew to appreciate it. The accompanying tour was great.

Re: 2022 hopes and dreams

I agree. This suggests he (Bob) thinks the band couldn't come up with enough good material for one full album on their own. I find that hard to believe. Going by the last two AC albums you have to wonder about Bob's song choices these days. Bringing in outside writers on what was supposed to be and...

Re: Black Widow fan club

Blimey ..... I joined that as well. Still have the stuff somewhere. Stumbled across the pack a couple of years ago and put it away for safe keeping. So safe, I cannot remember where I put it.

Don't remember getting a poster with Flush .... just checked and there is no poster with my lp
