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
Perhaps his best it is a 9.9
Many consider this to be his best album - remarkable because he'd been making records for 25 years already ... many of them some of the best rock albums ever recorded. I'm tempted to say I like some songs more than others and nitpick it into imperfection but I won't. Wait, yes I will. "Lost In America" just doesn't fit in here. It's like he said, "Wait, I need a teenage rebellion song - I can't do 100% artsy crap!" But, to be fair, he turns teenage rebellion on it's ear by yelling against, for example the sorry state of marriage (from the teenager's point of view, wanting his Mom and Dad to be his "real" Mom and Dad), guns in school (being a bad thing), etc. Musically this album is just, well, off the hook amazing. This album burst out of nowhere like a supernova and then Alice disappeared again into heavy metal drudgery on the next couple albums. The most magnificent of the bunch: "Sideshow," the poetic and wonderful "Nothing's Free," an almost operatic duet "Stolen Prayer" (his first confrontation with Satan since Alice Cooper Goes to Hell almost 20 years earlier), "It's Me" which could almost be a song written by Jesus as a love letter to everyone on Earth and close the show on an unbelievable high note soul-exploding rocker "Cleansed By Fire." Seriously, click "Buy Album" and never look back. What's truly amazing is that this brilliant lightening would strike again a few years later with "The Eyes of Alice Cooper."
Vastly Underrated Album
the BEST Alice Cooper Album next to Billion Dollar Babies. HUGELY underrated. Its a shame that so many great rock albums are. Buy this album. You will not regret it.
Perfection
Alice Cooper has yet to disappoint.
