Alice Turns Into David Bowie,
By
This review is from: NEW Alice Cooper - Special Forces (CD) (Audio CD)
"Special Forces" is one of those albums that takes a while to appreciate; but it definitely will grow on you. It was a daring, unpredictable release for Alice at the time but it does suffer a bit from simple, repetitive lyrics.The militant "Who Do You Think We Are" sets the tone for the entire album. It, along with "Seven and Seven Is", "Prettiest Cop on the Block" and "Vicious Rumours" are some of the fastest-pumping songs Alice ever recorded; 80s mosh-pit music if there ever was. There's an updated live version of "Generation Landslide ('81)" that actually works due to the new, harder arrangement. An eerie harpsichord opens the bass-driven "Skeletons in the Closet" which sounds like a blueprint for David Bowie's 1983 hit "China Girl". This album seems ahead of its time in that it clearly influenced some mid-80s songs that came later; especially those drum machines in "You Want It, You Got It" and the synthesized handclaps in "You're a Movie". The closest thing to '70s Alice here is the fashion-bashing rocker "You Look Good in Rags". Fans are divided on this one. I for one was glad to see Alice refuse to get stuck in a rut and try something new. Four stars: Not an exceptional album but a lot better than average.

Thank You Alice,

This review is from: NEW Alice Cooper - Special Forces (CD) (Audio CD)
Special Forces is an under appreciated CD from the greatest rock star Mr. ALICE COOPER. At this point in his career Alice cut his hair and started wearing millitary uniforms. The songs are great fun .Don't talk old to me , Prettiest cop on the block and my personal favorite Skeletons in the closet. Every song on this CD is a Winner , You Want It, You Got It.

ALICE AT HIS BEST!,
By bill smith (cali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEW Alice Cooper - Special Forces (CD) (Audio CD)
Alice finally gets it right and releases an lp good from beginning to end! Who Do You Think We Are draws you in to the Special Forces and each song brings you to new heights of giddiness.Skeletons in My Closet a scary lil tune minus the horror schlock and You Look Good In Rags is cute and funny.Prettiest Cop On The Block is cool and the whole thing ends with a WHo do you... reprise. Oh Alice how you finally scored and got it right after all those years I don't know but hey there are firsts for everything. Bravo Mr. Cooper.
