Description:
The Eyes of Alice Cooper arrives right on schedule. Every decade or so, the living legend that is Alice Cooper temporarily abandons the golf courses of Arizona to recapture the rock zeitgeist that he once bestrode like a gore-drenched colossus. Whether he's defining schoolyard rebellion, empathising with feminists, decapitating dollies or seducing drive-time slots with vials of pomp rock "Poison", when it comes to the rock & roll "A" list, the stately, vaudevillian Cooper has always been there (or thereabouts).

The Eyes of Alice Cooper arrives right on schedule. Every decade or so, the living legend that is Alice Cooper temporarily abandons the golf courses of Arizona to recapture the rock zeitgeist that he once bestrode like a gore-drenched colossus. Whether he's defining schoolyard rebellion, empathising with feminists, decapitating dollies or seducing drive-time slots with vials of pomp rock "Poison", when it comes to the rock & roll "A" list, the stately, vaudevillian Cooper has always been there (or thereabouts). And after a relatively protracted lean spell of twisting in the wind of change while desperately trying to get the measure of nu-metal, Alice is back to the very peak of his form with an album that, while casually capturing the stripped-down, garage-rocking contemporary mood, is quintessentially Cooper. Inspired by the fundamentalist spirit of the White Stripes and the Vines, Alice has re-embraced his incendiary Detroit roots, stripped his band right back to basics and delivered a set of deliciously concise, hook-laden, potential hits that mirror his very best work of the early 1970s. Simultaneously vital ("Man of the Year"), inspired ("Detroit City"), classic ("The Song that Didn't Rhyme") and contemporary ("Between High School & Old School") the apparently indestructible Alice Cooper sounds like a contender once more. --Ian Fortnam
