Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Dragontown, the third and final chapter to his rock morality series, finds Alice Cooper unfurling more grim tales of life before the apocalypse, but does it with the same wit, ferocity and genius that was first heard in his 1971 classic, Killer. Marilyn Manson may have stolen some of Cooper's thunder a few years back, but there is more to this old rock warrior than smeared mascara and ripped tights. On his 40th album, he's eschewed most of his comic shtick and self-parody of years past, employing a harder, guitar-saturated industrial sound that can compete with the best of agro rockers such as Korn and Rob Zombie. And while there aren't any teen anthems such as "Eighteen" or "Under My Wheels", lurking on the disc, "Mr Fantasy", his paean to self acceptance, comes close, as Cooper's menacing cartoon voice thunders, "I don't read books / I don't French cook or stroll around in galleries / I hate opera / I hate Oprah / Don't fill my head with poetry." Listeners will be aghast when Cooper serves up sacred cow in "Disgraceland" as he croons in a flawless Elvis Presley imitation that the fallen King "Ate his weight in country ham/ Killed on pills and broken dreams" and proves once again that this city ham still has what it takes to shock and rock. --Jaan Uhelszki

CD Description
'DragonTown' is the final chapter in the trilogy which began back in 1994 with 'The Last Temptation', followed by 'Brutal Planet' in 2000. Alice Cooper's heavy metal/goth rock sound has gone on to influence the likes of Kiss, Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson and Slipknot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alice Rocks !, 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As it goes without saying, Alice Cooper is a legend. He has been going strongly for longer than any modern bands can hope to. About 4 or 5 times as long.

And yet he still comes up with new and original songs. His style has gotten heavier over the years (in particular the last two ...). But the lyrics are still intelligent, putting across very important points on our world and society.

If only modern rock could be even half as good ...

Unfortunately, though, a large number of nu-metal heads will overlook Alice Cooper as too old, and uncool. Well, the thing is, he is the original Marilyn Manson, and far superior. Where Manson will repeat too hate filled sentences over a repeated 4-bar tune, Alice will sing a story through the whole album, and have actual ideas withing these ... Not to mention interesting music !

I thouroughly recomend this album. It knocks any competition (Slipknot, MachineHead, BioHazard ... ) down and keeps on running.

Although not quite as good as Brutal Planet, and not up to the standards set out with such classics as Welcome To My Nightmare, and Billion Dollar Babies, this is still a great CD, and any Cooper fan, or rock fan, will be satisfied.

4.0 out of 5 stars The dark prince of heavy metal is back!, 16 Mar 2003
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
So, the pop metal phase has finished, as did the art-rock phase twenty years ago, and the father of shock rock has once again ascended to the heavy metal throne.

No-one writes better lyrics than Alice Cooper, and his raw, gritty voice has lost absolutely none of his power even now as he has entered his mid-fifties. Just listen to the evil Elvis-satire "Disgraceland" (is that really Cooper singing?!), or the poignant, yet powerful ballad "Every Woman Has A Name", a succesful throwback to the days of "Only Women Bleed".

This album is highlighted by the slow, sludgy rap/heavy fusion track "I Just Wanna Be God", "Every Woman Has A Name", the furious "Triggerman" and the harsh "Fantasy Man". Cooper's vocals has never been better, and this album finally restores him to his former glory.
No pop metal or prog-rock anthems here, just pure, unadulterated heavy metal. Pick up this album and enjoy once more the might of the great Alice Cooper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alice Cooper matures with age, 10 Nov 2001
By A Customer
If you enjoyed Brutal planet and the accompanying dvd then this follow up is for you! All the familiar Alice elements are present and this cd does not disappoint, Alice is adept at keeping up with the times and as with its predecessor, Dragon Town uses scorching chugging guitars that are right up to date! This truly is a reborn Alice Cooper who puts his heart and soul into his messages such as the african genocide! Buy this cd, you will not be disappointed with it! Essential stuff!!!
