#2728 Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare

Cooper's back in concept album mode for his first proper solo outing, putting out his creepiest set yet. He really does have a knack for offcenter structures, they do more to put you on your back foot than all the bugs and necrophelia stuff. It's goofy (Vincent Price!) and some of the pacing drags, especially towards the end, but it's as listenable as the best of his stuff, sneaking toetaps and shivers in through the back door 3.5/5
