 The Nightmare Continues....THANKFULLY! July 29, 2008
18 out of 20 found this review helpful
I have had a promo of this CD for a month and it has not been out of my CD player since. This CD brings Alice back to his roots of originality. From the start there are many riffs that will bring the listerner back to such classics as Welcome To My Nightmare. In fact Track 1 reminds me of the classic Department of Youth from that same album. Most of the familiar sounds are from his 70's era. There is not one disaapointment on the entire CD. The 80's were a time that Alice tried to keep up musically with an atempt to get in on the new wave sounds ("Clones..") then the 90's more metal but in 2008 he is BACK to what he does best. Yes I have enjoyed most of the trip from the 70's and just when I thought it was ending Along Came A Spider. Not since he released Alice Cooper Goes To Hell have I been as excited to have a new Alice Cooper album. Older fans will come back and those who have never walked away will be thrilled as am I. The only problem is that FM radio doesn't hold many spots for airing new music from older artists. However, with some luck, this will be aired on XM and Sirius radio. Do not pass on this CD.
Great Release.... August 1, 2008

Tells a great story, each song stands on its own. People may think Alice wants to be a force in the music business again, but it's more like he wants to be a musical force to his fans & friends--which is what should count these days. Outstanding guitar work & song compostion. Stop torturing us... your hardcore fans need more records like this--more often!
Coop, you're so sick! August 3, 2008

First let me say to those that don't think there's a single here....are you kidding? Vengeance is Mine sounds like a hit to me. Slash's guitar work adds that heavy metal edge to this outstanding track. Now that that is out of the way, this is Alice' most complete album in a long time. Far superior to Dirty Diamonds. Who else but twisted Alice could get away with writing a concept album about a serial killer named Spider. I'm on my third listen; first in my home stereo, then in my cd player using ipod headphones, and now with my Bose headphones. The sound is just raw enough to have a knife edge to it and the vocals are vintage Coop. Is that a uncredited harmonica I hear on Wake the Dead? If there is a weak track I can't find it. Eric Singer plays the most solid I've heard in quite a while. Chuck Garric brings solid bass to every track and Danny Saber more than proves his worth. This is the album I've waited for and, though I've got it on cd, I can't wait for my vinyl copy!
P.S. Marilyn Manson is just a poseur! Long Live Alice!
Hard Rock from the Master July 30, 2008

Say what you will about Alice Cooper. He may be 60 and this is his 25 studio release and his radio glory days may be behind him, but one thing is for sure, he will not go quietly into the night. With close to 40 years in the business he is rocking as hard as ever. The amps are still turned up to 10,the band rocks on and the songs are twisted and demented in a wonderful way. It's like Edgar Allen Poe with a rock band, Alfred Hitchcock with a recording studio or Bella Lagusi on tour. I don't think Alice believes or even cares if his new cd goes gold or plantinum and that is a wonderful thing because it gives him freedom and allows him to do what he wants and he just wants to rock out in his own sinister way. The songs here mix a 70's vibe with a modern sound and they sound so much more refreshing from what is out there today in the hard rock arena. A cd about a serial killer refreshing ?? Yes as weird as that sounds. Give credit to Alice and his band for being able to do that. Alice has always been about humor, even if you did not get it, he did. Alice has been a major influence on so many bands, especially the likes of Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Wensday 13. Along Came a Spider shows them all the master is still the master. The stage is where these songs will shine the most and Alice still puts on one of the best shows in the business, making bands half his age gasping for air trying to keep up with his energy. This release would also make a wonderful horror movie that I would love to see or a fantastic two part episode of CSI. A truly strong release by a long time artist who is still at the top of his game. You just would'nt know it if all did was listen to the radio.
Cooper's Strongest Album Since Brutal Planet July 29, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
When most people reach the age of 60, they begin to think about retirement or at least toning things down. The same cannot be said for rock legend Alice Cooper. Along many of his peers such as Ozzy Osbourne, Cooper has found the fountain of youth and continues to put out quality albums and is still a great live act. On Cooper's new release "Along Came A Spider," the original shockrocker decided to do what he does best and release a concept album. Along Came a Spider is about a serial killer named Spider who falls in love with one of his planned victims. In classic Cooper fashion, the album becomes a morality play. What happens? Well you will have to buy the album to find that out. The album is a good blend of a variety of musicial styles. A few of the tracks and riffs will remind you of his Brutal Planet period (one of my favorite later Alice phases) while some of the album sounds like his 70's heyday. There even a few choruses that would fit with the 80's material. In other words, whatever era of Alice you prefer, you will find it on this album. Standout tracks include "Killed By Love" and "Vengenance is Mine." This album should please not only Alice fans, but fans of great hard rock. Don't miss this one.
