Alice Cooper - Road


I always with high regret on that I didn't buy ticket on Alice Cooper's concert when I could. But I will do this in future, which, I think, isn't far.


This great man, who associative with shock rock, released a new album, which I saw by accident or it was will of Providence - I can't say. I launched music and I heard neverchangeable and wonderful Alice Cooper. He's from another time for today. Road with solid lyrics and music. Ingenuity comes in songs and texts can surprise. He is thermonuclear explosive in first songs. "Welcome to the Show" could make to turn to expectation of usual and I recalled two-bit Guns'N'Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle", which repeats one stroke and has one accord, but Alice Cooper wasn't simple with this composition. That was with "Go Away" whose primitive in lyrics while it's not trite song by music whereas using of love topic is headache thing, because I always hear and see it everywhere through centuries. That's not original and Cooper's taking with no innovation. I'm tiring by listening that girl doesn't have interest in you. Maybe, Alice Cooper talks about personal feelings, but he isn't first. Love story has in repetitive "Baby Please Don't Go", which is melodic and it is not typical Cooper by music and words while I couldn't hear this usual personal unhappiness. "Big Boots" is too simple by repeating of one stroke, but it is not downfall to "Welcome to the Jungle". Alice Cooper shows better by his excellent sense of humor in "Rules of the Road". He intended to make album as a one story when that thought appears only in the end. Road is pleasant for listening. Nevertheless, it is not breakthrough. And especially in music.
