Full review

I have been a fan of Alices for fifteen years of so. The original Alice Cooper group started way back in 1968. The last studio album came out in 1994 named The Last Temptation it was a dark and broody theme album. This album follows on form the last album, (most of Alices Albums come in pairs i.e Trash and Hey Stoopid had a simular feel, so did Constrictor and Raise Your Fist And Yell).

Old snake eyes is back with a vengance, this album is full of venom. It is probably heavier than The LastTemptation. My favourite song is Sanctuary. The title track is also excellent and reminiscent of the Posion era of Alices work.

At 52 he can still rock.

The title track can be downloaded from www.alicecoopershow.com.

Heres the track listing and mini review.

1.Brutal Planet
(great start, great lyrics, It's such a brutal planet/It's such a living hell/This was a holy garden/That's right where Adam fell. This is probably one of the best songs he's ever done. It has an industrial feel to it.)
2.Wicked Young Man
(Great track stands out)
3.Sanctuary
(About a guys place at home where he feels comfortable)
4.Blow Me A Kiss
5.Eat Some More
(yes mother)
6.Pick Up The Bones (disgusting:-)
7.Pessi-Mystic (clever)
8.Gimme (nothings free, a study of faust)
9. It's The Little Things (funny, lightest piece)
10.Take It Like A Woman (Like Only Women Bleed for Year 2K)
11.Cold Machines
