Re: No more (love at ur conveveince)

It's just another lame track, from a very lacklustre album; epitomizing the 'state' all the main participants were in at that time. I like 'Broadway' Alice, but L&W just reeks of 'shove it out; any old rubbish will do' contempt.

Re: When will there be a Paranormal album review

It gets rubbished by 'Record Collector' magazine. Here's a summary: Paranormal lacks the nostalgia factor of W2MN; a concept, such as the one behind ACAS; and can't claim a return to the heaviness of DT. So, what does it offer? Not much, other than a moderately listenable set of songs. 'Genuine Amer...

Re: More tracks to hear...

Heard these three on KB show:

Fallen In Love - Meh to Bleurgh. Guitar widdles & rotten chorus.
Holy Water - Is this the joke track?
Dynamite Road - Damp squib. Think Convoy, only worse.

Re: What was the last stand out album for you by Alice?

For me, the Cooper creative heydays finished when the WB contract ended, and AC cleaned up. For his own sanity, Alice had to detach himself from the former madness, but that detachment inevitably meant something special was lost forever. He became much more of a parody. I think the hair-metal bandwa...

The usual bombast; grafted-on guitar histrionics; tedious tune; plus BE's burnt-to-a-cinder production. Dreadful.

Re: More tracks to hear...

I don't like 'PP', and didn't think much of the title track (snippet); too bombastic; too Dad Rock. I loved 'Genuine American Girl' - sounds like The Undertones-meets-Doo Wop.

Re: New album update

Apart from the intro, I thought it was very uninspiring; like a third-rate Vengeance Is Mine. The headache drums, and widdly widdly guitar were particularly awful. It's the sort of formulaic rock-metal, churned out by any number of mediocre nonentities. Trite, tedious, and oh so predictable.

Re: discussions above.....I must be in the tiniest of tiny minorities, because I really like ACAS . There's a certain Roger Cormanesque quality to it, and I've never got fed up of playing the album. On the other hand, I got rid of W2MN last year....got bored with the comedy songs, sappy ballad, and ...

Re: New Alice Album in 2 or 3 months

I'd be really interested if the promo were indicative of the general 'thrust' of the album: all-out weirdsville. No dad-rock; no 'welcome to my serial killer hell'; no Wagner sapfests found in a bottom drawer; no Scooby Doo songs...... just something radically different.

Re: If ACG toured without Alice

No, I wouldn't go. But I've also zero interest in seeing solo AC. Oldies, playing nostalgia tours, don't do anything for me anymore.

07282017? The album's going to be released on July 28th? And it's going to sound like Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music? If only.

Re: Mar Y Sol 1972 album

If 'relevant parties' are concerned about such albums, then why don't they act? Legal proceedings might be ineffective/cost prohibitive, but other avenues exist. STs would be an ideal platform for urging fans not to buy such records. Yet, I'm not aware anyone connected with Alice Cooper has ever pos...
