Alice made a huge comeback in 1986 in what was then known as metal revival year. Alice headed a wave of old and new bands such as Guns N Roses and Bon Jovi (who later turned into a soft rock act). The constrictor album was Alices first successful release since Flush The Fashion. Teenage Frankenstein is an exciting, special effect filled, fast moving rock song. Give it up is excellent pretty heavy in parts and very political too. Thrill My Gorilla is fun we can only guess what alice is talking about here. Life & Death Of The Party & Simple Disobedience are almost dance orientated relying heavily on keyboards and are two of the weaker songs on the album. The World Needs Guts is probably the heaviest number and probably the most memorable. Trick Bag, Crawlin & The American Success Story are good. He's Back The Man Behind The Mask was written for the horror film Friday The 13th and is also a good song.
