I had a review for dada for years,that I wish I still had just for posterity.I remember the title was "alice cooper no longer super".it said he was going for a rock and roll version of sybil (and failed) and that the only good track was "pass the gun around"....25 years later,coop is indeed still super in millions of fans hearts.yeah!

I have a write-up in my clippings (not sure which magazine it was taken from or who did the piece) of the Dada album. No interview - just review of the songs and album as a whole. From what I recall it was a non-slamming review but it's been a while since I've read it and it wasn't a lengthy article either.
If I may put forward a slice of personal colostomy...

FOUND IT !! Word for word ...
The formerly mascaraed son of a preacherman, once a successful purveyer of early 70s glitter rock,is now clean-scrubbed and older,with a musical paunch that shows every time he tries to jump on the already crowded techno-pop bandwagon.
This synthesized sludge probes Alice's neo-Freudian analysis of his paternal love-hate relationship ("DaDa") or uses inane puns,as in "Dyslexia" ("Is dis love? Or is dyslexia?" ). Alice is still fascinated by death,but "Former Lee Warmer" (get it?) is a half-baked hack job next to Cooper classics like "Dead Babies" or "I Love The Dead". Even his once vibrant rasp has now disintegrated into an L A slippery-smooth whine.
Best thing here is the trick design on the cover. Stare at it for a while. Its infinitely more interesting than what's inside. "DaDa" is a no-no.

I cut this from a paper dated Feb 5, 1984.
