- Sick and Slick

By KorinaJam
Billion Dollar Babies is Slick. There's a polish to the production, the performances, the songwriting and overall sound quality that hadn't been present on previous albums by the original Alice Cooper group. This album and every subsequent Cooper effort was like "Billion Dollar Babies" in that perfection was preferred over raw rock and roll.
There's still plenty of classic Cooper sickness. "Raped and Freezing", "Sick Things", "I Love The Dead" are all delightfully demented Little Rock Suites. The Riff Rock is in fine form as well. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and the Tour de Force guitar interplay of the title track "Billion Dollar Babies" is required listening for rock guitarists everywhere.
"Generation Landslide" is the most diverse and unCooper sounding track and it's a standout song for those reasons...and it's just a finely crafted and very infectious song.
If there's one album that represents the best ingredients of the original group and the shape of things to come for Cooper and his audience it's "Billion Dolllar Babies." If you want one Cooper album that represents the best of this shock rockers legend, this is the one to own.

I bought this album with a rather open mind, sure I'm usually a folk fan but hey, I figured why not. I put it on my record player I have to admit it had a groove to it that I liked but suddenly the lyrics started playing. Then I was turned off there was literally songs about necrophilia and rape. I feel as though modern music is half poetry and this poetry does not please me. If you like it to each his own, but I don't sorry.

I just saw "Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper" and I'd have to conclude that compared to... Actually there isn't a comparison. Cooper MUST be heard live! Songs like "My Stars", "Unfinished Sweet", and "I Love The Dead" improve with the extensions and added energy. Speaking of which, probably "I Love The Dead" is the big highlight here, strongly improved by the new tempo and an organ rather than a Piano, not to mention the tone of Alice's voice. Definitely is worthy of winning some new fans and is, even with just the second disc, let alone the first, one of the best albums of all time. So get it and prepare for America's Billion Dollar Babies, Alice Cooper!

The deluxe version with the additional cuts & outtakes makes this the greatest deal ever. Its like getting a whole second album. The included live cuts from 1973 really bring back the memories. I saw Alice Cooper's Killer, Schools Out & Billion Dollar Babies tours in the seventies when the Coop was at his best and still with the original band.
Things were way different back then, before the corporate money grubbing eighties, ticket prices were only $6.50 (i still have my stubs) imagine seeing Alice Cooper & The James Gang (1975) together for $6.50!!! Im told I saw alot of concerts back then heh-heh.
Anyway it was great to hear new/old material I hope they rerelease Killer and Schools Out in a deluxe version, thats if there are any more hidden jewels in the vault.
Good Times. Thanks Alice!

you know nothing of rock 'n roll if u diss alice cooper lets point out all ur faults
1.Cooper is a legend, he is arguably the most influencial solo artist of hard rock along with ozzy. he breaks boundaries such as those made up in what is acceptable in concerts and whats not. he even got kiked out of a few countries because of it although i may like pantera slightly more, i still show so much respect for alice cooper and u need 2 recognize what he has done
2. how dare u request for more patd at a alice cooper page. if alice cooper were to fight all the members of patd. cooper would win because hes juss that b-a
3. sugarcult is lame cept for 1 or 2 songs
4. old skewl music dominates the new music scene. so much talent in the past and yet you choose to recognize the lame idiotic modern day pop music icons (minus pantera of course)
- Top Notch Classic Album

Arguably the best of the original Alice Cooper group’s albums, this classic crystallized the image of Alice himself as the all American villain. From the opening greeting of Hello Hooray to the strangely uncomfortable Unfinished Sweet to the anthem No More Mr. Nice Guy and finishing with the marvelously sick I Love the Dead (with which he began his famous guillotine routine in concert) this album is a treat for those with an interest in the darker side. Of course, Alice Cooper is one of the few rock artists still making new music, but it is great to revisit for those of us who were there and it is a good look at Alice’s beginnings for those who only know his newer music.
