Brutal Planet-A Masterpiece?

[man_of_the_year]

I got introduced to AC with Brutal Planet... I like it. Title track and It's The Little Things are my favorite tracks on it.

Personally speaking, he has yet to top this album.

Brutal Planet by itself can beat A HUGE amount of hard rock or even metal albums released since 2000, but I think it didn't get what it deserved.
At least it got a huge album-based tour by Alice which was killer

I personally prefer Dragontown because it is more diverse and creative. Brutal Planet is still an excellent album but to call it a masterpiece would be a bit strectch. I use the word masterpiece when I'm talking about albums like Welcome to my nightmare, Deep Purple's Machine head and Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon.

Both albums lack a good opening song. Brutal planet(the song) is too monotonic from singing perspective and isn't musically as powerful as it tries to be. I was never crazy about it. Triggerman is actually even weaker and Alice's voice on it is terribly mixed. It just sounds so artificial and the song isn't that well written to begin with.

Welcome 2 my nightmare beats them both and has one of the best opening songs in Alice's career.
