ALICE COOPER: DIRTY DIAMONDS

Alice Cooper continually produces great albums. The variation on the album is not in quality, but the variation is in style. And that is the reason, or one of many, that Alice appeals on so many levels, and to such diverse interests. Dirty Diamonds, with its unnecessary nod to hip-hop ("Stand") and weak stab at country ("The Saga of Jesse Jane"), won't knock classics such as School's Out, Billion Dollar Babies and Love it to Death from their well-deserved perch as archetypal blueprints of Cooper's Halloween-styled gutsy rocking. Yet, at its best, the raw guitars and tightly arranged songs refreshingly recapture the brash attack and dark humor of his glory years.
