Product Description
Amazon.ca
An essential figure in any history of the American grotesque, son-of-a-preacher-man Vincent Furnier served as a missing link between Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Marilyn Manson. As Alice Cooper, he helped make the pop world safe for morbidity and makeup, scoring a bunch of hits and misses along the way. Mascara & Monsters serves up a fairly rote chronology of Cooper's '70s singles, with the occasional B-side and 1989's "Poison" (cowritten by mainstream hitmeister Desmond Child!) thrown in for good measure. As such, the album doesn't live up to its best-of billing. "Dead Babies," arguably the best track on Killer, loses out to "Under My Wheels," while the garage-rock glories of the band's first two albums are also conspicuously absent. On the plus side, "School's Out," "Elected," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" still sound great. If you're looking for easy access to those and numerous lesser singles, this collection will do the trick. --Bill Forman

Aw, come on! You can't put every Alice's hit on 1(ONE) CD. Guys at Rhino tried very hard to make it a good compilation but somewhat failed.
#1) They could easily throw out Clones as it is not such a good song after all, even It's Hot Tonight from "Lace And Whiskey" would be better.
#2) Where the hell are: Caught In A Dream, Ballad Of Dwight Fry(!), Hey Stoopid and Feed My Frankenstein(!) HUH?
#3) They should really make it a 2 disc edition and include: all of the above + Black Juju, Halo Of Flies, Dead Babies(!), Sick Things(!), I Love The Dead(!), Cold Ethyl(!), Steven, Go To Hell(!), He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)(!), House Of Fire, Only My Heart Talkin', Bed Of Nails, Love's A Loaded Gun, Might As Well Be On Mars(!) - not to mention a bunch of other songs for example Gutter Cat Vs The Jests, Public Animal No 9, The Black Widow (favourite Bruce Dickinson's song), Lost In America etc.
I think Mascara & Monsters is good for a casual fan, to make him interested in Alice's music but for a hardcore fan like me it's just a waste of money. One way or another I give this thing 4 stars.
Format:Audio CD
I agree, there is to many songs left off this compliation. Then again Alice has to many songs to fit 1 CD. For the casual fan, most of the songs you want are here. After buying this CD, you just might want to run out and pick up the entire Alice Cooper collection. I wouldn't blame you if you did.

This is what you get when you take the best of all Alice Cooper songs and cram 'em into 1 disc! This is great for casual and diehard fans. If you want the best, you've got the best. This covers the peak of his career.

Pretty Decent
This album is fairly nice for a Greatest Hits type album. Thankfully, Alice Cooper has enough good songs in his discography that they didn't have to throw in any fillers. Read more
