Free Music Notes for Love It to Death
Free Music Review: CAUGHT IN A DREAM -- BEFORE IT BECAME A NIGHTMARE
Hit: 5 Stars
I'VE WRITTEN QUITE AFEW LESS THAN FAVORABLE REVIEWS OF COOPER ALBUMS. SO I GUESS I WILL BALANCE IT OUT AND OFFER MY HIGEST REGARDS TO NOT ONLY LOVE IT TO DEATH, BUT THE FIRST 2 COOPER ALBUMS, PRETTIES FOR YOU AND EASY ACTION. I TEND TO THINK THAT LOVE IT IS THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THE TRILOGY OF EARLY COOPER, AS MY ORIGINAL "THUMB COVER" PRESS OF LOTD IS ON STRAIGHT RECORDS, WHICH WAS A SUBSIDARY OF WARNER BROS. I WOULD GIVE ALL 3 ALBUMS FIVE STARS. THE FIRST ALBUM FROM 1969, PRETTIES FOR YOU , DOES NOT SOUND LIKE ALICE COOPER. HE HAD NOT EVEN DEVELOPED HIS TRADEMARK VOCAL SCREAM YET! IT IS PRE-METAL, MORE ALONG THE LINES OF PSYCHEDELIC HARD ROCK. BUT THE MUSIC IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND A DELIBERATE STAB AT ANTI-COMMERCIALISM. MOST OF THE MUSIC IS PROGRESSIVE IN NATURE MEANING THAT THE SONGS ARE STOP-AND-GO, CHANGING TEMPOS, CHORDS. SOME VERY INTERESTING AND UNIQUE WEIRDNESS, SAVE FOR A FEW CUTS. THE PRODUCTION IS SIMPLE BUT DONE IN A WAY THAT CAPTURES THE ESSENCE AND VITALITY OF THE BAND. THEY SOUND LIKE THEY ARE PLAYING IN YOUR GARAGE, RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU, WITH NO STUDIO POLISH AT ALL. AT TIMES, IT EVEN SOUNDS LIKE REVOLVER ERA BEATLES ON A MIX OF JACK DANIEL'S AND BAD ACID! A VERY CREATIVE, ALBEIT UNCOMMERCIAL ALBUM. EASY ACTION (1970) CONTINUES IN THE SAME WAY, BUT THERE MAY BE A TAD BIT MORE OF ACCESSIBILITY. THE BIG CAHNGE IS THAT WE ARE INTRODUCED TO THE TRADEMARK WAIL OF ALICE'S VOICE ON " MR. AND MISDEMEANOR", AND" RETURN OF THE SPIDERS", WHICH, ALONG WITH " STILL NO AIR", HINT AT THE HEAVY METAL APPROACH TAKEN ON LOVE IT TO DEATH. THESE FIRST 2 ALBUMS REALLY DEMONSTRATE THE PRISTINE VOCAL ABILITIES OF THE PRE-METAL COOPER THAT HE WOULD LATER RETURN TO IN HIS "FROM THE INSIDE" ERA SOLO ALBUMS.EASY ACTION ALSO CONTAINS A COUPLE OF MELLOW SONGS, "SHOE SALESMAN" AND "BEAUTIFUL FLYAWAY", WHICH ARE JUST GREAT. HEY WAIT, THE WHOLE ALBUM IS GREAT. THE BAND DEVELOPS EXTENDED JAMMING WITH "BELOW YOUR MEANS" AND "LAY DOWN AND DIE, GOODBYE", WHICH ARE PRECURSORS FOR "BLACK JUJU" FROM LITD, AND ALSO "HALO OF FLIES"AND "KILLER", FROM THE ALBUM "KILLER." AND ON TO LITD. SOUNDING VERY FAR FROM PRETTIES FOR YOU, BUT IN SOME WAYS SIMILAR TO EASY ACTION. I GUESS THIS IS WHERE THE BAND DECIDED TO TAKE A MORE COMMERCIAL APPROACH, YET STILL KEEP THE INTENSITY OF THE PREVIOUS RELEASES. "I'M 18" IS THE WORST SONG IN THE ALBUM, BUT WAS THE BIGGEST HIT, AND STILL NOT A BAD SONG BY FAR. THE BAND REDEFINED THE STYLES OF DARKNESS AND CATCHINESS THAT WERE SEEDED ALL THE WAY BACK TO PRETTIES FOR YOU, JUST PUT TOGETHER DIFFERENTLY. ALL 3 ARE FAVORITES OF MINE AND THE HARD TO FIND FIRST 2 ARE A MUST FOR THE COOPER FAN, OR ANY FAN OF EXPERIMENTAL ACID ROCK. "REFRIGERATOR HEAVEN" IS ONE OF THE BEST COOPER TRACKS FROM ANY ALBUM, AND ITS ON EASY ACTION. P.S. "THUMB COVER" REFERS TO THE FIRST PRESS OF LOVE IT TO DEATH, WHERE ALICE'S THUMB PROTRUDES FROM THE SHAWL HE IS WEARING, POSITIONED IN A WAY WHERE IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN HIS THUMB. SIMILAR EFFECT IS SEEN ON BACK COVER PHOTO OF NEAL SMITH WITH AN ARCTICLE OF CLOTHING. BEING FOUND OFFENSIVE, THE COVER WAS CHANGED TO NOT SHOW THE PROTRUDING THUMB. OH HOW HORRID!.......
