Re: More tracks to hear...

This is the first time in many years that I have liked so many songs on an album. Usually I like about an eps worth but this time I like 8 out of the 12. I am glad I liked Fireball and The Sound of A before I knew Dennis co wrote them so no one van accuse me of favouring the ACG related songs. The ...

Re: Different tracklisting on the vinyl album Paranormal

I've been listening to it both ways. The shorter version is lightning quick and leaves you wanting more (in a good way) but You and All your Friends is a perfect penultimate track, thematically and sound-wise. Genuine American Girl goes on a bit long so when the album ends, you are ready for it. The...

Re: More tracks to hear...

I have listened to the album - now several times. My personal opinion is that this album is a gift to Alice Cooper fans. It's the most "classic" sounding hard rock album since the seventies. It's arguably his most consistent album since Welcome to My Nightmare. I would trade any album after Dada for...

Re: One week to PARANORMAL!!

I'm right there with you. My record player has been sitting in a box since I moved 3 years ago. I finally set it back up and recalibrated it in anticipation for this release. I've been listening to my Alice vinyl collection backwards and will continue to do so until the release. 1) W2MN, which sound...

Re: More tracks to hear...

Today was a quiet day here... I wonder what everybody's up to. I gotta say I'm very satisfied with my day. I'd say it tops the last 5 days plus yesterday, which doesn't really count as a "day" per se.

I'm literally counting the days until my vinyl copy of the new album arrives!

Re: When will there be a Paranormal album review

Another positive review: https://www.therockpit.net/2017/album-review-alice-cooper-paranormal/ Also, not sure if anyone saw this in the other thread, but it appears confirmed that the vinyl version has the two ACG tracks added into the track list prior to the Sound of A. https://images-na.ssl-images...

Re: Different tracklisting on the vinyl album Paranormal

It looks like the vinyl does indeed have a different track list. The two ACG tracks are listed as part of the main album on side 4. Not sure if anyone has seen or posted this.

Re: More tracks to hear...

Just gave it a listen. First impression: intro reminded me immediately of House of the Rising Sun. Agree that it sounded very disjointed and all over the place. Thought it was an odd choice for an opening track. Second impression: I like the song a lot. It's different, unpredictable; a pleasant surp...

Paranormal is on Spotify US. Hmm. Well I guess since it's now a single and not a sample there's no harm in listening to it. :laugh:

Re: For all the American friends of the site

In Boston, WZLX is a classic rock station that syndicates the radio show, so that's how most people know him. WZLX also plays on occasion Eighteen, Under My Wheels, School's Out. No surprises ever. I worked with somebody once who was a bit of a music snob (he was a film sound recorder and engineer) ...

Re: More tracks to hear...

I usually listen to the samples, but this time I vow to be good, so I asked my wife to listen to the samples with headphones and give me her feedback in real time. She loves Alice, but she's a harsh critic when it comes to his modern stuff. She called it leagues ahead of W2MN (her least favorite) - ...

Re: More tracks to hear...

Only listened Genuine American Girl since it's not on the album proper. I liked to doowoppy sound, but I felt that the song was missing something musically. Reminded me a bit of Dirty Diamonds ala Perfect / Jesse Jane.

Re: Paranormal Personality - the first single

Upon repeated listening, I stick to my initial reaction. Sterile sounding that screams studio musicians and sounds nothing like Killer era rock which Alice alluded to. Why they went this way when he has a high energy touring band at his disposal is baffling to me. Hopefully the other songs don't fo...

Re: Original Band to play mini-set on Mainland UK shows

So stoked for the UK fans. Here's hoping that this mini-set makes its way to the US next year. I think I saw someone theorize here that the Two-Headed Alice on the Paranormal cover was to suggest the tale of two Alices - band Alice and solo Alice. The UK tour seems to suggest a similar sentiment. Si...

Re: Dennis Dunaway Book

Seems to be the man who made alice was dennis. I cant believe the details he shares here. And the most shocking is they are still friends. He wasnt invited to meet Dali then pushed out of Alices life. He really disses on alice. Seems like alice just got really full of himself. Maybe thats why he pl...

Re: New album update

I like the running time. Short and sweet. That approach certainly would have helped ACAS.

Paranoiac Personality has been in my head for 2 days. It leaves you wanting more. It's such a perfect little song.

Re: Paranormal Personality - the first single

You know what? I'll take it. I like the notion of a harder sounding record as opposed to the lameness of the Hollywood Vampires, the constant covers, guest celebs onstage and on record, just mostly...the garbage from 2012 up to today. It's unfortunate the haters are going to hate, but keep in mind ...
