100% positive over last year (Review
While their theatrical stage show (which featured the singer getting his head
chopped off by a guillotine) may have made Alice Cooper a household name, the
material on BILLION DOLLAR BABIES is so exceptional there is no danger of the
music being overshadowed by gimmicks. The album became Cooper's biggest selling
release, but it would prove the last effort by the original incarnation of the
Alice Cooper band (who would up split a year later). But the group hits the mark
completely here, combining the raw garage rock of earlier albums with a glossier
production, but with plenty of edge, grit, and sleaze still at the music's core.
While mission statement "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is the best-known song,
the rest of the album is just as strong. The title track features a backing
vocal by Donovan and a mammoth backbeat from drummer Neal Smith, while sweet
melodicism plays an important role in "Generation Landslide" and
"Mary Ann". Cooper's rock-and-shock aesthetic can heard in the future
concert staples "Sick Things" and "I Love the Dead", giving
the sleek sound of the album a wonderfully seamy underbelly. Pound for pound,
this is probably Cooper's finest release, and remains one of the true
cornerstones of the '70s hard rock canon.
