Love This Album.......2007-03-27

I bought this back when it first came out in the 70's, haven't listened to it in 20+ years. Forgot how much I liked it. Yeah, it gets silly, and the disco song is irritating . . . but that's what the SKIP button is for, right? The only problem with this CD is the low volume -- have to crank it to get a decent listen. Other than that, love it.

Average Coop Album.......2006-12-12

"Lace And Whisky" is a complete left turn for Alice. He cut his hair, assumed a 40's era gangster persona, and left the horror "shock rock" behind him. Cooper once again teams up with Ezrin, Wagner, Hunter, and Levin, but comes up with a very different album. This is not really a concept piece but the main thrust of the album seems to deal with the Alice's admission of his now well documented problems with alcohol and excess in general. Alice's album sales were beginning a real decline by this time, and even though the album sported the top 10 ballad "You And Me" it sold significantly less than it's predecessors. The album is all over the place. Alice actually does some of his hardest rock material with songs like "It's Hot Tonight", "Damned If You Do", and especially "Road Rats" (supposedly the inspiration for the movie "Roadie"). None of these are great Cooper tunes, but they do have an energy that makes them fun to listen to. The album also contains the humorous "King Of The Silver Screen" a song about a transvestite construction worker who dreams of being a movie star (only Alice could think this up). There is some throwaway filler here as well such as his cover of "Ubangi Stomp", and the disco laden "Love At Your Convenience". On the other hand the two songs that deal with his alcohol problems "Lace And Whisky" and especially the excellent "I Never Wrote Those Songs" are both strong with heartfelt poignant lyrics. Anyone who has ever gone on a drinking binge and not been able to remember what they did the night before can relate to this one. The album closer sees the first inclusion of Alice's conversion to Christianity in his lyrics with the organ filled "My God". I am not exactly sure at what point this happened but the subject would find its way more and more into Alice's work over the next 3 decades. It is a cool way to end the album and works well both musically and lyrically. "Lace And Whisky" is not an essential Alice Cooper album and is usually regarded as one of his lesser releases by fans. I think it is worth owning, but it is a very average release for the Coop.

What I admire about Alice.......2006-07-11

... is that he tries many differnt styles of music and obviously seems to have fun making all these creative and original songs and albums. Though, this is one of his weakest, it is still worth the price as some songs are just beautiful such as "It's Hot Tonight", "Lace and Whiskey" and "You and Me". Alice is incredibly talented and always keeps things interesting. Also, try the following album FROM THE INSIDE, thats far superior and absoutely flawless.

Awesome Classic - Never Forgotten.......2006-05-20

agree with Johnny B. Good's review "100%". I had this on album as a teen, and loved it. I just purchased it on CD. I did not realize it was still available. I am so stoked!!

What We Are Is What We Are.......2006-05-01

What we are are hard-core Alice Cooper fans to have listened to this album in its entirety more than the one time on the day we bought it. Though backed with the best songwriters and musicians, Alice's weak and uninspired delivery drag "Maurice Escargot" through his paces throughout most of this anemic offering (think what a sober Cooper could have made of "It's Hot Tonight!"). In my humble opinion, this album, though eclectic and humorous, is one where the joke is on Alice. The great news here is the lush ballad "You and Me." Too bad they released a chopped up version as a single, even if it did chart as a Top Ten Hit. The album version features a string section that soars with over the top angst. This song is a classic, and is the bright spot on this tired yet oh so sincere Alice Cooper effort.
