 Coopers returns with vengence!!! July 8, 2008

After two garage albums it seemed inevitable that Alice would have another crack at the concept album.The problem for Cooper is that his output has been so vastly varied over his career that one persons poison is another's delight.
A serial killer named Spider is the focus of the album and seems to be sung in a first person perspective.
Musically the album dips into Alice's past.
1. Prologue/I Know Where You Live: Great guitar riff and seventies style lead.I believe there is even some tambourine in there!!!
2. Vengeance Is Mine: This could belong on Dragontown, great melody
3. Wake The Dead: Sixties psychedelic feel with vocals that match, good guitar riff and nice bass work.
4. Catch Me If You Can:Pretty straight rock song, good chorus with intelligent guitar breaks.
5. (In Touch With) Your Feminine Side:Good chorus and another seventies groove!
6. Wrapped In Silk:Excellent bass work and great guitar interplay.
7. Killed By Love:The ballad!!! Actually works well and is helped by nice backing vocals and a great Alice vocal.
8.I am Hungry:To my ears, a definite nod to the original ACG,nice Bruce type riff. A good measured lead solo.
9. The One That Got Away:Good melodies and a fine arrangement, a seventies feel again!
10. Salvation: This sounds as though it could of sat quite happily on the Go to Hell album, nice drum work, mixed with inventive bass playing and a big chorus!
11. I Am The Spider/Epilogue:A zombie feel and a deliberate plodding and down beat(what do you expect, its about a serial killer),with another great guitar riff!
This album demands many listen to fully appreciate all its wonders, to me this is the most satisfying Alice album in years, and like any truly great album it makes you work to fully explore its brilliance.
There is a real retro feel that is offset by clean and modern production.If you listen through head phones it brings another dimension to the sound!

Alice continues his 21st century revival as a the father of shock rock with a vengeance with his latest album that reflects the work he had done with with welcome to my nightmare while the distorted heavy guitar riffs and Alices spooky singing are similar to that of Marylin Mansons "Antichrist superstar" album but with a much darker, tougher edge that harks back to the Love it to death/Schools out era without the special effects that a lot of the elder statesmen of rock use to hide the fact there vocals are not what they have used to be when they where young.
The Guitars on the album are raw and unbridled especially on the Song like "Vengeance is mine" which features an eviscerating solo from Slash who would feature very comfortably alongside into this energised outfit which includes guitarists Keri Kellis and Jason Hook, Bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Eric Singer which makes the album atually feel its more of a band effort when Alice Cooper was actually a band when he first started out.
Other tracks like (In touch) with your feminine side and the one that got away still has plenty of shock value proving Alice's advancing years has not diminished his menacing alter ego after all these years!
To cap it all of this abum is even up for a classic rock nomination for best album of the year 2008.
The god of shock rock is back with a vengeance!

Very much appreciated return to Alice's roots. Great, sneering vocals and the band sound tight, as they should for they are his established touring band. Vengance is Mine is the stand out track for me, Typical Slash guitar work and it makes the album worth the money on its own, and I feel sure that it will be included on the live setlist from now on.
Great stuff and I'm hoping that we see Alice back in December in the UK.

I bought this CD a few weeks ago and I think it really does deserve a 5 star rating. Alice has delivered quality in music and lyrics and the story line of this concept album. For anyone who loves good quality and butt kicking rock, I would recommend you listen to Along Came a Spider! Simply Superb!!!!

Just when you think he can't do any better ACAS hits you in the face. If enjoyed Brutal Planet, The Last Temptation and Welcome to my Nightmare, this is for you. I'm not going to breakdown each track in turn as this has already been done very well. It might be a bit heavy for some, which I can appreciate, but play it a few times and as with any good album you won't be bored.
