Yep, total coincidence.

Because if someone really did sign up under a different name then I'd call them a complete moron of the highest category.

Thankfully that's definitely not the case here.

Or is it?

I hope not. Signing up under multiple address is ALSO against the rules....

>amuk - you fancy yourself as some sort of final word here.

Not at all. Winning a debate based on reason and logic has nothing to do with the "final word".

>Parsing other people's posts and bogging down the conversation.

HOW is that "Parsing"?! Don't blame me just because you contradict yourself ocassionally. Whether it's because you don't mean what you say when you post it or it's because you don't know what you think, or you forgot what you wrote previously is for you to deal with.

>Too bad you don't put forth more opinions and ideas

You are PATHETIC. Almost ALL my posts contain "opinions and ideas". It's not my problem if you find them contentious or if they slaughter some entrenched "opinions and ideas" you already have. It's called DEBATING.

> Have you ever started a topic?

Why should I?

>Have you ever posed what if questions,

Why should I?

> engaged in interesting speculation?

Why should I? What's so bad with dealing only with facts instead of fantasy?

>Have you ever done anything here except "correct" people?

Yes. Read some of my posts.

>Don't bother replying - we all know the answer.

Leaving aside your pathetic attempt at deflecting, I'm still waiting for you to address your most recent contradiction. Obviously, you don't particularly have to do that because "we all know the answer".

I know this is an Alice Cooper W2MN topic....but I think you are getting near the line of being overly obsessive about this topic. While your devotion to this might be seen as admirable to you and a few others, I find it a trifle annoying. As for the value gained from your numerous posting, I wonder if you have considered that you are preaching to the choir here? I am sure you receive personal enjoyment from being an over-the-top Alice fan....and I am sure you think you are "making a difference"....but maybe you might want to cut back a little????

is it just me or is this thread starting to turn overly flamey-trolly? What started as a good thread of reviews has turned into 30+ pages of sniping, sarcasm, trolling, insults, pointless arguing and general childishness. maybe it's time to shut this off and start a thread that's PURELY for reviews, both personal and links from the web?

Exactly. It's that assumption that something great will automatically arise which is very presumptious.

With the quality of the 3 tracks on WTMN2 with Bruce/Dunaway/Smith I'd say we would have every chance of having some great music on an album.

What if questions and interesting speculation could work if it was taken as just that, but often it just snowballs into something that is suddenly TRUTH and far from what can easily be attained or obtained. Hype and expectations run the same course, sadly.
If I may put forward a slice of personal colostomy...

Shove off, this IS a review thread after all. If YOU don't like it, then quit reading. Matter of fact - just please quit trolling.

The Alice Cooper eChive does say that a "full blown tour supporting the album (ACAS) was scrapped in favour of the Theatre of Death tour, which sees Alice die a thousand deaths."

So not sure if they are the last word on these issues, but there is evidence to support this assumption.

I for one would love to here an ACG era reunion. I don't know if I would like a democratic album though, because the two classics of Killer and Billion Dollar Babies that I prefer were all dominated by predominantly Michael Bruce or full band writing (or as with Love It To Death the 5 great songs). I have always preferred the songs written solely by Michael Bruce or as a Bruce/Cooper or with the full ACG band working together. As with on the early albums, I thought Dunaway's songs were generally rather good fare just as I feel about Runaway Train (not a killer, but better then filler), and the Neal Smith penned songs have always been my least favorite (and that didn't change with this album.)

If anyone wants to just head over to the POLLS section...you can rate the album on a scale of 1-10.....if you don't agree with the positive views that most people are talking about....take control of the Poll provided! It's really easy.

Frankly, I am uninterested in defending WHY I enjoy Alice Cooper, his music, providing reviews of W2MN, and generally making light of all of this bickering.

All I know is....I became a AC fan when I was 5 years old....(1975).

Enough said.

I take that back.....here is another review:

http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/ ... Universal-

and another review....

http://www.music-discussion.com/forum/s ... ice-Cooper

and another review....

http://indulge-sound.com/2011/09/27/rev ... nightmare/

and if you are AC obsessive like me...this reviewer will be your best friend in the world...

http://metalexcess.com/2011/09/23/alice ... nightmare/

here is a review that calls W2MN..."boring"....which is just silly.

http://brushvox.com/2011/09/alice-coope ... mare-2011/

another good review...

http://suggestreview.com/alice-cooper-w ... -nightmare

this reviewer uses the words "fan-boner" and "geek-gasm"....hilarious!
