Album Review

Though Alice Cooper's 1989 comeback gave him his first hit album in over a decade, the Trash record left some diehard fans disappointed, as did 1991's Hey Stoopid. Many listeners felt that Cooper had sold himself short, now completely focusing on sleazy sexual anthems, making him just another face in the heavy metal crowd. By the time The Last Temptation was released in 1994, the hair band fad that had fueled Cooper's return was dead, and Cooper was obviously aware of its downfall — the album sounds almost nothing like its two predecessors. Instead of relating to such albums as Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood, Last Temptation seems more similar to Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears. Thematically, the record returns to mostly conceptual songs, such as "Nothing's Free," "You're My Temptation," and "Cleansed by Fire." Though the album still has a few goofy interruptions, such anthems as "Lost in America" nonetheless boast more originality than anything off of Hey Stoopid or Trash. Far surpassing anything Cooper recorded in almost 20 years, The Last Temptation is unquestionably some of his best work.

Customer Reviews

The Last Temptation

This album is as reviewed above, a very much over looked album. If life was fair this would be classed as one of the best albums of that decade.
Alice has ditched the heavy thrash metal (Marilyn Manson) sound of Brutal Planet and Dragontown and gone down the trend of the time grunge route. Yes its Alice Cooper, but with the help of Soundgardens Chris Cornell it has a new sound. This album and "From the Inside" album are two must
have albums for any discerning rock fan. Every track is great from the opening "Sideshow" to the last track it holds your attention. My personal
favourites are "Bad Place Alone" and "Stolen Prayer".Listen to the clips for yourself, a great album.

Hey stoopid

You've got it slightly wrong..... This was released before brutal planet. This album came out after hey stoopid.
Great album..... Started to mark a move away from the trash, hey stoopid sound.....a more traditional Alice.

Last temptation

Wonderful album. Have had this one on vinyl since release day!! Was just looking around for a quality Cooper album to load and had a read of the reviews. You are right it came out before Brutal Planet (personally a brutal - bad way album) not one of his best! But this is wonderful under rated with a good storyline (if you get the chance to read the trilogy of comic books linked to album please do so!). My faves are It's Me (good melodic rock track) and Bad Place Alone. In the words of Bill and Ted - around at a similar time "Bag it Dudes!!!"

Originally, there was a band called Alice Cooper led by a singer named Vincent Damon Furnier. Under his direction, Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and huge boa constrictors, all coordinated by the heavily made-up Furnier. By that time, Furnier had adopted the name...
