User Album Review
Well, his first studio effort in six years, Paranormal, is here to provide the answer…and it’s yes. The first thing that jumps out is the crystal clear production. Even though it was produced by Bob Ezrin, the man whose fingers controlled the board on more than half of Alice Cooper’s early discography, don’t expect to hear that warm Love It To Death or Billion Dollar Babies sound. It’s almost cartoonish how clean it is. Production wise, it sounds more like Alice’s sleek ‘80s and ‘90s output, but don’t start furrowing your brow yet. It has a lot more to it than the ballad soaked, aptly named Trash.
Alice is still the ghoulish master of ceremonies. “Holy Water” spotlights Alice’s dark, vaudevillian storytelling with lyrics like, “I got a top hat/and a walking cane/I gotta black cat/on a golden chain/I got a white shirt/with a bloody stain/I’m going to the river of love.” The shuffling and cruising rock of “Dynamite Road” is complimented by some outlandish lyrics about racing with the devil, and some lyrics that are believable, considering Alice’s recent touring schedule, “My life is cruisin’ with my band, man/in my tricked out Cadillac/We’re always lookin’ death right in the eye/and never ever lookin’ back.”
Musically, Paranormal is in good shape too. “Dead Flies” has major, four on the floor, stomping blues licks driving it that would curl the beards of ZZ Top. “Fallen In Love” does too, but that’s because Billy Gibbons plays on it. Bassist Roger Glover of Deep Purple fame also makes an appearance on the opening title track, and U2’s Larry Mullen Jr. of all people handles the skins for almost the entire record. Alice Cooper pulled together some professionals to make Paranormal happen, and it shows.
Put together in one tidy and creepy package, Paranormal does the near-impossible: offering something of worth for fans of his ‘70s output, those folks that clued in once Alice popped up in Wayne’s World and those newly minted fans who were welcomed to his nightmare on his recent run of tour dates. There’s almost no other rockers of Alice’s vintage that could pull of such a feat. Sharpen up the guillotine, folks; he ain’t done yet. reviewed by Aris Hunter Wales for pastemagazine.com.
