Welcome 2 My Nightmare

Artist:

Album:
Alice Cooper returns to his Nightmare in his latest musical outing. Featuring a return to the raw mix of rock and roll and country and western with just a twist of schlock horror that made Alice Cooper the legend that he is this is an album for fans of the 70's and 80's style Alice. Gone is the heavy brutality of Brutal Planet and Dragontown, in is the dixie blues beat and rock guitar riffs of Killer and Constrictor.
Track listing:
I Am Made Of You
Sounding more like an opening track to Linkin Park's next album this starts with a light piano driven ballad before laying down pure guitar solo heaven and military drum beats. Probably the finest opening track of any Alice Cooper album. Fans of the original Welcome To My Nightmare should recognise the piano from Steven.
Caffeine
A power house of drug fuelled paranoid insomnia. A driving rock beat forcing the sleep from your eyes and powering you through to the dawn.
The Nightmare Returns
A classic piano based trip into the insanity that touches the edge of every Alice Cooper album slipping Alice Cooper's mind into the slumber that is the Nightmare
A Runaway Train
A fast paced dixie blues driven track, this is the first of Alice Cooper's nightmares, trapped in someone elses dream heading down the line faster and faster to the inevitable train wreck.
Last Man On Earth
Nightmare number two plays a blues jazz riff straight out of New Orleans. As Alice finds himself alone, the last man on earth
The Congregation
Back to rock and roll, with the classic rock mix. Alice finds himself trapped in the worship pit of Hell, waiting for his soul to be fed into the burning fires.
I'll Bite Your Face Off
Back to a southern dixie beat and Alice finds himself in love with an angel from hell. This is bluegrass for zombies.
Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever
An insane mix of pirates, rap and disco music. With a pumped up electronic beat driving the craziest nightmare forward to the inevitable crazy guitar fuelled drag race to the end.
Ghouls Gone Wild
60's rock and roll riffs driving a hot rod through the streets of a zombie fuelled American Dream. Beach Boys meets Resident Evil.
Something To Remember Me By
No Alice Cooper album feels complete without an acoustic ballad and this album is no different. A love song in the classic style of Alice Cooper, a style not heard done this well since Only Women Bleed.
When Hell Comes Home
Alice's heavier side comes out to play. The guitars are heavy and slow, as if played through the raw sludge of the darkest corners of Alice's mind. The whole track is a dark, twisted family from hell.
What Baby Wants
A pop rock beat as Alice duets with Kesha (which actually works better than you might think) with Kesha playing the part of a murderous she-devil.
I Gotta Get Outta Here
A light hearted rerun of the entire album as Alice recognises the nightmare he's trapped in as it takes a twist to the macabre.
The Underture
With the opening riff taken straight from the original Welcome To My Nightmare the closing track finds Alice running through some of the greatest instrumental pieces of his entire career.
One of the finest albums of Alice Cooper's entire career. An absolute must for any Alice Cooper fan and one that has to up there with the original seminal Welcome To My Nightmare. If only because you can't top perfection this is a definite 4 star album.
