Alice Cooper - Dragontown Review

                 
This album is so old I actually once owned the cd for it! I may still have the cd around somewhere. Dragontown was released in 2001 and was Alice Cooper's twenty-fucking-second album. 22 albums! Shit most bands you hear on the radio have less than ten. And I would bet that most bands that have existed have less than ten albums released. Track list is as follows.

Triggerman
Deeper
Dragontown
Sex, Death and Money
Fantasyman
Somewhere in the Jungle
Disgraceland
Sister Sara
Every Woman Has a Name
I Just Wanna Be God
It's Much to Late
The Sentinel

From that list the songs I think are worthy of note are the title song, Dragontown, Disgraceland, and I Just Wanna Be God. Dragontown is a good classic rock anthem nothing particularly special, but well made. Disgraceland is neat because Cooper (at least I think it's him) actually does an Elivs-like voice for some of it, after the song it's title is very clearly a reference to. And I Just Wanna Be God is.... well exactly what you'd expect. It's a song about wanting to be god. The only other song that I can think of being as relateable is Billionaire by Travie McCoy which the very first line of is "I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin bad." Seriously though, if you haven't heard it, and you like rock music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-kkXVcxoxI Go there, listen to the song.

On the whole the album is what I consider fine. I'm indifferent to most everything here. Like 2 of the songs, but honestly, that's a decent album in my books. It's rare for me to find an album with more than 2-3 songs I like even from bands I consider good. Blue tells me I don't like any music, and that I'm way too picky.

Oh and on the subject of Sex, Death and Money

          
I know it's considered option people but...... just fucking do it. It helps avoid confusion.
