Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
There is no comparison between generation landslide and disco bloodbath. The irony and satire of the song is that he is delivering a dance club fashioned song in a rap, because it is making fun of the scene. It would not be the same if it were not rapping. I understand that it was supposed to be sat...

Re: W2MN - First Week U.S. Sales Projection at 20-22K
My bad RIAA certifications are based on shipment. The reason many platinum albums are in fact not million sellers upon the date that they are certified.

Re: W2MN - First Week U.S. Sales Projection at 20-22K
It's possible that Alice could crack the top 20 on Billboard, because Billboard is not based on sales...It is based on items shipped. Soundscan tracks the actual barcode sales, so if sales are expected between 20 and 22 thousand, it's quite possible to see this album crack the top 20.

Re: I Am Made of You... without auto-tune?
I find it to be just as annoying as it is on any other song, but the song itself is very good. A masterpiece besides that one issue to me.

Re: I Am Made of You... without auto-tune?
The only fundamental element to a vocal song is the lyrics. The song can be sung with or without autotune. It can also be sung with or without background music. It can be sung with or without the original singer. A song cannot be however without the lyrics. I for one think autotune detracts from the...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
I personally think the majority of people forget or just don't know about all the albums between this and WTMN. As I said this to me is at the bottom of the list with Constrictor, but even if it's considered a good album, W2MN doesn't stack up to Goes To Hell, From The Inside, The Last Temptation, a...

Re: I've got the new album!!!
Apparently many people like that song, Jacknife. I won't reiterate my comment for a hundredth or thousandth time though, since it's also negative. haha. I have now heard Under The Bed, and I think it along with When Hell Comes Home are two of the best songs he has recorded since WTMN. It should've b...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
Ah, stupid, stupid, stupid me. Last I checked this is a forum which is set up for people to voice their opinions. I have not called out any specific people. You enjoy to do that however it seems, but you're not a fan of confrontation upon being the one to start it.

Re: I've got the new album!!!
These are not people who dislike the music that I like. These are people who also like Alice Cooper and consider much of his music very influential to their own songwriting. I guess you have a hard time reading the full context. What a shame that you're so fickle minded that you have to gauge other...

Re: My Review of W2MN
Would love to, besides When Hell Comes Home, Last Man On Earh, and Runaway Train, this album sucks and blows in a variety of ways. The only album I will listen to this over in his whole catalog is Constrictor. Constrictor's lameness is more understandable though since Alice was dealing with his new ...

Re: My Review of W2MN
No, I get the point, but it's a really dumb, stupid, pathetic song. Yet again, it's just another piece of rehashed drivel on an album that has no originality. You Gotta Dance was a disco song comparing Alice's trip to hell as a disco. Well, that makes this new song SO original...oh wait, it's update...

Re: My Review of W2MN
As far as Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever, yes, a disco is a living hell of a nightmare, but it doesn't mean that Alice should rap. The style and delivery falls absolutely on it's face...a big bloody nose and broken teeth...

So the people who don't like this album are missing the point? I think Alice has lost the plot.

Re: My Review of W2MN
I have tried looking at this album from the concept point of view, and while the lyrics keep the story on track, they are too straightforward and laughable. They do not create a storyline near as impressive as the original album. They are also all cut from the same cloth (with the exception of When ...

Re: I've got the new album!!!
Sadly Jackknife, the first half is the best half. The second half has a great song in When Hell Comes Home, but other then that, not much going for it. I played my cd at the rock n' roll bar that i work at, and it did not go over very well. My managers who are all huge Alice fans and in bands that h...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
Alice said in an interview that this album was unveiling itself as an album that fits into the vibe of that era. I said based on what Alice himself had said, that people were going to be disappointed. It's not that it's modern, but that even more then just the modern flourishes, he has such stupid m...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
I said it doesn't compare. Those two songs are not in the same league as the original. The styling is the same, but not in the same class. And the reason, I said 'i do not understand why he had to make a part 2 is because this album cheapens the original. And no, it is not good when in an interview ...

Re: W2MN .. REVIEWED
For anybody who doesn't want to hear or know anything about the album or have preconceptions, why do you even open up the forum discussions that might have spoilers or others opinions?
