Alice Cooper's “Road” - Review

By Sage C.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like being in a band? What touring the world and out on the open road feels like? Look no further to Road.

Alice Cooper, The Godfather of Shock Rock, brings us a nostalgic classic feeling, but still manages to bring the heat. It is his twenty-ninth studio album and 22nd solo album. We start off with a firm introduction with “I’m Alice” reintroducing us to the character he has created for so long. “Rules of the Road”, “Welcome to the Show”, and “All Over The World” gives us a feeling of being on a tour bus along with the band. With decades of experience, he knows a thing or two about living through the industry. “Dead Don’t Dance”, “Big Boots”, and “White Line Frankenstein” gave us some great karaoke and dance numbers. What’s an Alice Cooper album without some ballads like “Baby Please Dont Go” and “100 More Miles”? Finally, we end with a cover of “Magic Bus” originally by The Who.

Road pays homage to Cooper’s long career since the late 60s early 70s. Road is gritty, classic, good ol’ fashion rock and roll.

Rating: 8/10
