'Brutal
Planet' is the 21st studio album by Alice Cooper,
originally released in 2000. This is a re-release
of one of the hardest and coolest albums Alice
Copper have in his long album list. Industrial,
heavy, dark rock with lyrics, which deals with
human darkness and big social problems. This
sounds like Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson have been
involved in the production somehow and mixed up
with Alice's old school rock sound. The result is
not a genuine Cooper rock sound.
This is far away from radio friendly hit songs like
'Schools Out' and 'Poison'. No, this is pure horror and the
doom metal drums that are doing a horrifying
impression on me. I like the first half of 'Brutal
Planet', but this isn't really my bag of music and
I'm having a hard time to get a reasonable and fair
overall rating.
This disc is worth to get your hands on, because
it have a lot of goodies to consume. 'Brutal
Planet' was the first heavy metal album since the
'hairy band' era and his big hit album 'Trash' and
the giant MTV hit 'Poison' from -89.
If you like heavy dark industrial rock this might be
an interesting album to check out.
