#2727 Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

After School's Out, Cooper flipped from sinister everyman to sinister overlord, a ringleader of a distopian creepshow of larger scale and scope, tracing a Whosian arc from disaffected youth to firebreathing rabblerouser. The riffs are bigger and hookier, the vocals bolder and glammier, but you'll miss the understated uncanniness and savvy structure of School's Out - ending on a shlocky shoulda-been B-side like I Love the Dead's just sloppy 3.5/5
