Free Music Review: Alice's Best Ever- and just recently available on CD.
Hit: 5 Stars

For those who think "Nightmare" is Alice's quintessential work, it could well be they've never hear "From the Inside," Alice's 1978 masterpiece.
Surrounded by Producer David Foster and company (Toto personnel, Chicago personnel, and some of Elton John's cronies- including daughter Kiki Dee and lyrisist Bernie Taupin) Alice puts forth his best work ever- a dark, brooding, sometimes comical work inspired by his brief stay in a mental institution circa- late 1977.
The title track "From the Inside," kicks off this "concept album" explaining how alcohol and the supernatural put Alice into this surreal scenario.
"Wish I Were Born in Beverly Hills," is a scathing piece, critcal of all the valium-popping, Bevely Hills wives who occasionally end up in the neighboring padded cell.
"Quiet Room," is a beautiful song that first revealed to me Alice's ability to actually sing, and not just scream and scowl. This Chicago-esque song could have been a top 40 hit if not for the grisly subject matter.
"Nurse Rozetta," is a masterful funky groove with witty (though be they sexual) lyrics and an incredible musical break that reflects the scale of the talent Alice was working with.
"Millie and Billie," is a bizzare tale of two twisted lovers incarcerated at the facility for killing each other's mates- again lyrically great.
"Serious," is the first indication we have that Alice's mental health is improving (our collective mental health improves as we compare ourselves to his derranged inmates) and that he's had just about enough of all the lunacy around him.
"How You Gonna See Me Now," is a beautiful ballad reflecting on the stigma of mental illness. Somehow, people who've been institutionalized never seem to regain the full trust of those around them and closest to them.
"For Veronica's Sake," is a silly little rocker about Alice's need to get home so he can tend to his dog. ("For Veronica's sake you gotta get me outta here...")
"Jackknife Johnny," perhaps the most moving and meaningful piece on the album, is a tribute to all those vietnam vets who came home with less sanity than they had before they left. Just about moves me to tears everytime I hear it.
The album closes with "Inmates (We're All Crazy)" an anthem defending the mentally ill and celebrating their twisted place in our culture. Another lyrical great.
The lyrics throughout this album are phenomenal. I know that Bernie Taupin had a lot to do with that, but the stories told here- and the ways in which they're told- are incredible.
The thing the CD lacks most is the original album art. I picked this album up out of a cutout bin and discovered a masterpiece. Not only was the music incredible- one of my very favorite albums ever- but the album art was great. Alice's face on the front are two doors leading into the mental facility. When layed open, they reveal the institutions inner sanctum and all the characters that Alice is singing about. Inside was a little flap that opened to reveal Alice huddled in the corner of the Quiet Room. The back cover had two doors that opened to reveal all of the patients running out with release papers. Genius.
This album will never be paralleled and every music lover- especially Alice fans- should own this.
