Although, the idea of W3MN seems to conflict with the theory that Alice seems to do things in pairs...I think there was a discussion about that somewhere here.

But, everyone knows that I love everything that Alice does. So, it matters not.

the following review had this to say about the songs: "..... all authentically recapture the desired mood created on the original back in the day, whilst the lyrics once again offer a fascinating, oft macabre glimpse into the wonderfully tortured mind of Alice Cooper. That said, what was shocking in the 70’s, isn’t necessarily so in this post 9/11 world. "

It was mentioned here before and I agree, Welcome2 is more of a sequel to Goes to Hell. I feel Goes to Hell is completely underrated. It could have used one more rocker, but it's still a great album.

I wouldn't use the word "sequel" that directly. Yes, the "2" in W2MN suggests a continuance of a story, but it is more of "another chapter" in the many stories that Alice has told. I think the title tells more of the musical people involved....Bob Ezrin, Steve Hunter, etc.....which suggests the idea, "let's go back to 1975 and make an well-produced record like Welcome To My Nightmare".

Well, this is a very bad review....the reviewer gives a score of 4....and calls it "shit"....I will let you decide if that judgement is correct.

Yep Steven..a reviewer of your review says that you hit the nail on the head -I agree- good to read a review from a musician- I agree that caffeine has more hooks than ac/dc- or as I like to say so many hooks it would make your hands bleed
