Alice Cooper is the original shock rocker and we're not just talking about his stageshow either - he has a tendency to switch styles or topics just when you wouldn't expect it. This was slightly the case with Trash, whilst there was no great change in sound of the music - the lyrical content and subject matter for the tracks was completely different to that of the previous aggression filled album Raise Your Fist and Yell.

Trash generally focuses on relationships of some kind, whether it be discussing his break up with alcohol (Poison) or the catchy ones geared more at relationships with women (This Maniacs in Love With You, Hell is Living Without You, Only My Heart Talkin', Why Trust You) and then there are the sleazier raunchy type tracks like Bed of Nails, Trash, Spark in the Dark, I'm Your Gun and House of Fire.

All of them rather enjoyable and not a single bad track on the album, not even a single mediocre track on the album - it comes as no surprise that Trash was considered a major comeback for the artist. It doesn't mean that there aren't a few things that could have been improved upon though. This album was largely an experiment though and the production work by Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi) brought a sort of well trashyness to the album, a certain amount of cheesyness however I thought that the snarling vocals and guitar solos, not to mention dodgy yet fun videos went along way to making it a very good effort.

I like this album!

1. "Poison" (Alice Cooper, Desmond Child, John McCurry) - 4:29
2. "Spark in the Dark" (Cooper, Child) - 3:52
3. "House of Fire" (Cooper, Child, Joan Jett) - 3:47
4. "Why Trust You" (Cooper, Child) - 3:12
5. "Only My Heart Talkin'" (Cooper, Bruce Roberts, Andy Goldmark) - 4:47
6. "Bed of Nails" (Cooper, Child, Diane Warren) - 4:20
7. "This Maniac's in Love with You" (Cooper, Child, Bob Held, Tom Teeley) - 3:48
8. "Trash" (Cooper, Child, Mark Frazier, Jamie Sever) - 4:01
9. "Hell Is Living without You" (Cooper, Child, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora) - 4:11
10. "I'm Your Gun" (Cooper, Child, McCurry) - 3:47
