Raise Your Fist And Yell
Pretty much a cookie cutter from the previous album. This isn’t a sequel but it follows the same method as that of Constrictor. I do like the musicians used in this album which are those who accompanied Alice on the previous tour. The band includes Kane Roberts, Kip Winger, Ken Mary & Paul Horowitz. Kane Roberts again co-wrote all the songs with Alice except for “Gail” which Kip Winger co-wrote w/ Alice & Kane. Produced by Michael Wagener this was also the last album from the MCA label. The songs are a little better still I just like about half of them. “Freedom” was the single and another anthem song which Alice has a gift of writing. Freedom, we’re gonna ring the bell Freedom to rock, freedom to talk Freedom, raise your fist and yell One of my favorite tracks is “Time To Kill” and then you have a trilogy at the end of the album. “Chop, Chop, Chop”, “Gail”, “Roses On White Lace”. This album could be a good soundtrack to a B-horror movie. Artwork: A template from “Constrictor” with the lyrics on the back including band credits and a distorted picture of Alice on top left. On the cover an illustration of a fist with Alice’s face on the palm of the hand. Inside the lp comes in a clear acetate sleeve. Includes a white pull out with one side shows a hugh dripping “Alice Cooper” font and title of album plus at bottom tack list and credits. On other side is a black & white drawing of half Alice face half skull with title of album. |
