Finally got my all time favorite Alice Cooper album on cd, and a shirt for when I see him for the first time in November.

Your Blackout ‘Greatest Hits’ track list

If you were creating a greatest hits album limited to the Blackout albums (say, 3 or 4 songs from each), what would it look like?

Finally listened to DaDa...

DaDa had been on my radar for a while, but I had been waiting for closer to Halloween to give it a spin. I had heard the title track in the past so I had an idea what to expect, but still wasn't ready for what came next. Former Lee Warmer - No Man's Land - Dyslexia - Scarlet and Sheba - I Love America - Fresh Blood is the most confusing sequences I've ever heard from an album. I notice a lot of similarities to The Wall throughout, likely a result of Bob Ezrin. I doubt Alice could have come up with this on his own given the state he was in. Fresh Blood is my favorite from the album and is where the Pink Floyd sound is most apparent. I Love America is fun. It's a shame that he doesn't play it live, it would be a great follow up to Elected. I still am lost as to what No Man's Land and Scarlet and Sheba have to do with anything, but I guess that's just part of listening to an album about a madman. I've seen people try to tie the album into the Steven storyline, but I don't think it works. I'm curious if Alice's book next week will add anything to this album's lore. He's not been very fond of talking about this era of his life. That being said, I've been spinning this one all day and I'm loving it.

Road moment

After quite some time, I listened to *Road* and was pleasantly surprised—the album is truly enjoyable and unique. It’s not a masterpiece, but it is still a solid record with plenty of great moments. It’s simply quite understated for Alice Cooper; it feels more like Vincent Furnier.
