Alice Cooper (Vincent Damon Furnier), the father of horror rock was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1948.

This album sounds like it was recorded in the 70's and I really like the garage-style playing where it sometimes seems like the band is recording the songs on the 1st take in the basement. Good catchy songs that fits live but also variation and quality all through the album. Alice Cooper is getting better and better!

1)Woman of mass distraction (7,5) A good opening song and I'm surprised by the very simple and unpolished rock'n'roll that comes out of the speakers. Plus for the organ in the background.

2)Perfect (7,0) Even simpler and more garage-style! Sounds like 70's glam.

3)You make me wanna (6,5) A ho-ho-ho-song. Too much ho-ho though.

4)Dirty diamonds (8,0) Nice fluteintro. A heavy and aggressive song and I like the dramatic James Bond-style trumpet!

5)The saga of Jesse Jane (8,0) A very nice countryballad with a fantastic guitarsound.

6)Sunset babies (all got rabies) (7,5) Alice is again playing with words in this 70's-style rocker.

7)Pretty ballerina (6,5) A sweet laid back song with female background vocals.

8)Run down the devil (7,0) A heavy riff but rather happy song:-) A little repetitive though.

9)Steal that car (7,5) A fast organ-rock'n'roller.

10)Six hours (6,5) Nothing special.

11)Your own worst enemy (8,0) Incredibly good sound on this rocker with a melodic refrain and heavy riff.

12)Zombie dance (7,5) A cool different song with a nice groove.

13)Stand (7,0) A mystic song with raw guitars, synthesizers and rap by someone called Xzibit. (Cool name!)
