ALICE COOPER
Love It To Death (Warner Brothers)

In my opinion, it's their best ever. Alice Cooper can't be categorized as just an everyday rock group. They are far out, just as their music is. This stuff is kind of what you would call "third generation music". It isn't about love or beauty but instead about the problems of the world... the things that people are not really interested in hearing about.

The group has really put it together on this LP and there are hard sounds as well as soft. Most of the music gets overlooked for their freaky personalities raise eyebrows but all in all they've put out some fantastic music here. After listening, I believe the best cuts are "18," "Second Coming" and "The Ballad of Dwight Fry."
