The Eyes of Alice Cooper

Breaking a circle into an arc is easy, but converting an arc back into a circle is a different matter, a task that Alice Cooper has succeeded in doing with the release of "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper." Produced by Mudrock (Godsmack, Powerman 5000), this album is clearly a return to Alice's musical roots, a conscious effort to capture the rock and roll sound that has stirred and excited the minds, souls, spirits and bodies of so many generations.

Simple, uncluttered and direct is The Eyes Of Alice Cooper. Recorded in a minimalist garage-like studio setting, unpretentious and live -- All instruments were recorded in a blue streak and at the same time with very little multitracking. Each guitar player was given only one extra track for overdubs. A few keyboard, synth and horn touches were added to some cuts as needed.

The songs are classic Alice Cooper, featuring his trademark clever lyrics as in "The Song That Didn't Rhyme" and "Novocain" as always, infectious melodies, hooks and a wall of guitars. All songs were co-written by Alice with guitarists Eric Dover and Ryan Roxie. Special guests include Legendary MC5 Guitarist Wayne Kramer who added his uncompromising garage rock sound to "DETROIT CITY."
