Free Music Review: Disturbingly Good
Hit: 4 Stars
Alice is back with more malevolence...his latest offering highlights the dark details of serial killer "Steven," to whom we were first introduced on 1975's "Welcome to My Nightmare" album. The lyrics are disturbing in several places. Some samples: "You look like you'd fit in the trunk of my car," from "The One That Got Away," or "When you're at work, I'm alone, in your room, on your bed, and you'll never know," from "I Know Where You Live." Spoiler alert: Steven likes to remove the legs of his victims and wrap their bodies in silk like a spider.
Yes, it is dark stuff. However, any longtime Cooper fan has some idea what to expect from the man who is menacing onstage, but a total gentleman on the golf course. The songs are well-constructed, and Alice's voice is as strong as ever. I found the mix on the CD to be a bit tinny to my ears, but it was nothing that a little extra bass didn't cure. The vinyl edition sounds a bit warmer.
The mellow songs didn't register with me as much ("Killed By Love," and "Salvation"), which prevented me from giving it a full five stars, but they are important story points to the concept of the album. The song that sticks in my head is "Wrapped in Silk." "Vengeance is Mine" is good, also, and you can probably find the video on YouTube (which features a nod to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" movie).
If your a longtime fan as I've been for over 30 years, you'll probably love this album.
Free Music Review: Misses Bob Ezrin's Touch
Hit: 4 Stars
Don't get me wrong, this is a good Alice Cooper album and the packaging by Piggy D is top notch on the LP. I even got a little weak in the knees when I saw the silk colored wax (man I miss artwork like this).
Lyrically, it is all Alice. If not even more twisted and mean than ever before. Musically, it sounds like a Hampton and Saber album (except for Vengence - easily the best track). It doesn't sound like how Bob Ezrin would have left things, and this is basically what keeps it from being an awesome record.
Remember how when Jeff Lynne was producing Roy Orbison, Jeff Harrison, Tom Petty, everybody sounded like an ELO record? Not the marks of a good producer. Same thing here. This disk had the potential to be a monster smash, but the production killed it.
