Free Music Notes for Constrictor
Free Music Review: One of Coopers most wrongfully bashed gems.
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is an Alice Cooper masterpiece, heck an 80's hardrock masterpiece, its got some of the best music that Alice Cooper ever realeased, and it was my first Cooper album.
A little background on this album, it was 1986, Alice Cooper had finally finished his rehab, and had to plunge back into the Rock and Roll universe with a Return album, and what better way to do it then make a corporate hair metal cd (some say) however the way it really should be is what better way... then to make a Rock and Roll Masterpiece. This album got Alice back in toon with himself in a way, and the Tour that supported this album - The Nightmare Returns was good if not great. Now lets look at the cd itself. As a great carreer move Alice hired Guitarist Kane Roberts which was a great great choice due to him co writing the lyrics on the songs, and coming up with some of the best riffs to ever hit Rock and Roll. Kip Winger from the band (Winger) this was Kips first mainstream musical job. and alot of other musicians that helped to make this album great.
The cd is released in a Jewel cd case for the ultimate protection, and the disc has been remastered to perfection. 5/5
The inserts of the cd are good, with an adress to write to Alice Cooper (now out of date) and Lyrics and a Great album Cover. Then the back inserts have the songs and times listed, and a picture of Alice and a snake. 5/5
Songs.
Teenage Frankenstein - A great opener for this Album some of the best Cooper lyrics and music to back it up, its a great great song. 5/5
Give it Up - One of Coopers old school style party hard songs that he managed to pump up into this song, great guitar solo here. 5/5
Thrill My Gorilla - This song is ok however I feel its the weakest song on the album, don't get me wrong its good and worth listening to, but it dosent match up to the other songs on this disc. 3/5
Life and Death of the Party - This song is quite possibly the best song on the cd, its got the best guitar work on the cd, and some of the greatest lyrics, it sounds so crisp and clean, and its another one of Coopers pumped up party hard songs that survived through the decade. Now when I say pumped up it dosen't mean he remasterred an old song, it means it sounds like his old stuff, that has the 80's style in it. 5/5
Simple Disobedience - A good 80's hard rock songs, nothing memorable but its still alot of fun to listen to. 4.5/5
The World Needs Guts - This song has the 2nd best guitar work on it, and some of the best metal lyrics iv'e ever heard, definently a 5/5 song.
Trick Bag - Another good version of old school Cooper with an 80's boost. Some good musician work, and Lyrics. It was the original version of he's back but it was turned into Trick Bag and people say thats filler, but it isn't its just a creative re- creation of a song. 5/5
Crawlin - Another good song but not memorable. its alot of fun to listen to though. 4/5
The Great American Success Story - This song was supposed to be in some movie, but it never saw the light of day, and this Album saved it from being completly forgotton, and thats a good thing because this song is a great song. 5/5
He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) - This song was originally on the Jason Lives part 6 movie, its got good synth work, and just a great song with some spoooky spook lyrics. 5/5
and last but not least - Price, 7 bucks, thats a good price for a cd like this its rare, and rather cheap for an album full of fun filled hard rocking hits. 5/5
So all in all this is an 80's album that is amazing, its hair metal, glam rock, 80's Shock Rock, call it whatever you will, its Alice Cooper and its great 80's rock. This is the album that got Cooper out of the Dark Times. It's so great, and it deserves more then the 3 and 2 and especially 1 star ratings its getting, it deserves atleast a 4 and deffinently a 5.
