 Along Came Another Classic Alice Album Sep 03, 2009
Along Came A Spider is Alice's newest addition to his Classic Catalog of Albums and it's Hard Rocking from Track 1.It fits well along Billion Dollar Babies and even Brutal Planet.Get it!!!
The sound is far from modern, but that's what makes it work Sep 03, 2009
The Good
For his latest album Cooper decides to go the concept route. The story revolves around a murderous psychopath named Spider, who wraps his female victims in silk. What is truly bizarre is that Spider removes one leg from each victim in his quest for eight legs. Things start to get complicated as Spider falls in love with his eighth potential victim. There's also a shocking twist at the end.
"I Know Where You Live" immediately establishes the kind of character Spider is. He's watching his victims in the car, he's in their house enjoying their prized possessions, and he's following their every step. Fuzzy riffs and guitar runs set the soundtrack for "Vengeance is Mine." "Wake the Dead" has a classic Cooper vibe as he explores more of the demented psyche of Spider. "Wrapped in Silk" is creepy and sinister as Spider picks out his pray. On "Killed By Love" Spider starts having second thoughts about one of his victims. The track has a ballad feel. "The One That Got Away" is a heavy rocker that makes you wonder if it was the one Spider loves that got away, or his next victim. "I Am the Spider" brings this horror tale to it's conclusion with a happy ending of sorts that's met with a classic movie twist.
The iTunes version of the album includes three bonus tracks; "Shadow of Yourself," "I'll Still Be There," and "Salvation" (unplugged with string section).
The Bad
I wish iTunes offered a booklet on this one.
The Verdict
Along Came a Spider is presented as a musical horror movie. The sound is far from modern, but that's what makes it work. The sound is reminiscent of a 70s vinyl rock record that synchs perfect with classic horror pictures of that period (Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Maniac come to mind). It's dark, macabre, and eerie. Another feather in the cap of the Legendary Alice Cooper.

Alice at his Best. May 23, 2009
This is a great album. Alice has returned to the psychopathic killer genre. And that's that best kind. While I don't think much of the cover picture, it's the music that counts. One of the best tracks is "Vengeance is mine". Slash sounds great on the guitar and Alice's roaring vocals are as good as ever. The first and last tracks are a pleasure to the ears, the first one is especially creepy and it's just awesome. "Killed by Love" is another good track, displaying vocals that are seldom used by Alice, but still sound great. Anyone who disapproves of this album and calls them self an Alice Cooper fan, or a rock/metal fan in general, is just an idiot without brains.
THIS ALBUM ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Not that he ever left... May 15, 2009
Alice's latest is sick and twisted in the best possible way. With instantly classic lyrics such as "You look like you'd fit in the trunk of my car", Alice gives us his version of Hannibal Lecter. Vengeance is Mine, Wake the Dead, Catch me if you Can, and I am the Spider have all been added to my iPod favorites.
