I can accept that many fans feel Nita doesn't fit and she's only posing: it's always been a "sausage party" in Alice land up until the great Orianthi, and I can accept people feel like the club is broken. To me, honestly, although I don't fall for Nita, she's the best thing that happened to AC band ...

It's obvious that Ryan it's great for what Alice wants to do, which is this current style of garage rock. We could argue that this is a limit, and that Nita could have expanded the musical scope but it did not turn out this way with Road.

You mean "Failure" to chart? I can say this: To cheer myself up I bought the new expanded "School's out" that includes the Miami 72 gig: and seriously that band blows off the current one anytime of the day. It was so clear to me Provocation: did Alice finally decide to show off his current band in o...

Think what the previous poster was saying, Texas has more square miles and bigger population. For example. I get it that it's larger, but still not bigger as population. Europe is more than double the USA. Italy alone is about 60 mln, way more than Texas. I was suggesting that an US-centric vision ...

Oh brother...and I thought I was a long-winded gasbag! I wouldn’t dare to compete. It's great to hear he is drawing in Europe but here in the USA we have some states that are bigger than European countries. Not sure if I understood correctly what your thought was but...no way the US has states that...

I heard this comment once from a teenager. " my grandma and grandpa are going to see some old guy at the casino". The old guy that were referring to was: Alice Cooper. Ahah... Well this is so far from the reality here in Europe, where AC audience is much younger and there are no casinos with showro...

The one song that drives me crazy is "Baby Please Don't Go." It sounds like Alice can't quite find the melody in the main verses, especially that second verse where he sounds "lost." Like he was just demoing it for the first time and Ezrin said "That's perfect!" The music is beautiful on it though....

"Road" did not chart on the Italian 100. (DS entered at 39) There was a delay in the actual distribution. The local distributor said the record label was probably still not active at the end of August and delayed many of its releases, not just Alice's. At the end it came out the 31st. Not surprised ...

Mr. Misdemeanor, I really liked your interpretation of a possible concept...I think is plausible, well done!
About Dyslexia, is often a genetic condition, or the result of cerebral trauma. How could you add this in?

Hi all, I'll try to be synthetic on this new "Road" - best song on the album : when it came out as single I was fearing and hoping there would be something better on the cd but in the end...to me the best song here came out to be "I'm Alice". Funny enough, as others have mentioned, it was written fo...

Wind up toy

another good one is Pass the gun around

Maybe we should leave the ACG talk for another topic as it's getting harder to follow here. Back to "I'm Alice", it gained some excitement for me with more spins. The pathos is there, the concept too. And, like someone said, it circles back to the Special Forces lp. For me, I just hope there's more ...

Hi all, you guys are right, at first I didn't notice a nod to Last Temptation but it's surely there. That album had the songs, but IMO lacked the required power especially in the guitar department: too thin on such a dark record. Will it be the same here? Now, I think Alice is not showing all his ca...

This album has an uphill battle with me, honestly. SHORT REVIEW I can see, buddy, but with me it has been quite the opposite...maybe the very low expectations I had have paid off, or maybe my 8yo son humming "Rock n roll" all day has put me in the right mood, I don’t really know. What I feel is tha...

So happy it charted better than W2MN and Paranormal mostly everywhere, although in a further scaled-down market...I am happy because the record is so much better

Well the charting in N. America are disappointing, considering AC tours consistently. Confirmed as Billboards best selling album of last week. Alice at #1 in Sales chart. https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9537526/alice-cooper-detroit-stories-top-album-sales-chart Oh so good news! Legend

Well the charting in N. America are disappointing, considering AC tours consistently.
In Rome Italy, Social Debris is in rotation in at least 2 rock radio stations, and also Rock n Roll was promoted fairly well. Our Love will change the world, instead, was played for 1 week only.

After a few spins I am starting to form an opinion on this DS. One consideration comes up in my mind:
Does the "Villain" still exist?
Would like to know what you thin about

DS entered the Italian chart at #39

I think this has been an ongoing problem since the return of the Cooper/Ezrin collaboration. Ezrin wants virtuoso performances from players who will produce exactly what he wants. These days he's polishing those performances so smooth that they have no edge at all. I'll take the production from ACA...
