The Original Alice Cooper Group

"Black Mamba"   "Wild Ones"   singles

(earMUSIC)



On "The Return Album the World Was Afraid Of," storied rockers harkening from 1970s arena stages lean into the business of pounding out Rock'n'Roll of metallic massiveness. And it's as if intervening decades matter naught. The triumphantly reunited glitter-alums are arsonists as much as anything, building up and igniting conflagrationary spectacle both dazzling and life imperiling. 

These singles were excerpted from forthcoming full-length "The Revenge of Alice Cooper." A team of greater thunderclap dynamism than bassist Dennis Dunaway, guitarist Michael Bruce, and drum master Neal Smith could not be solicited. The three would be justified in smirking down at adversaries. Alice's snarl is no less stentorian than when they and late lead guitarist Glen Buxton loomed on Don Kirshner's 1972 In Concert venue. 

("What Happened to You?," another cut on the upcoming long-player, features Buxton via a previously unissued recording.)

Producer Bob Ezrin, long a collaborator, ensured the tempestuousness common to the band batters boldly. Through vivid and lofty musical architecture, the Alice Cooper Group was - and clearly remains - among the crop's cream.
