The icon Alice Cooper had a renaissance back in the mid-2000s when the albums 'The Eyes Of Alice Cooper' (2003) and 'Dirty Diamonds' (2005) was originally released. When he returned to his garage rock roots and a bit noisy, trashy Detroit rock sound. Armoury Records has re-release these two albums to the price of one and if you are a very big fan of Alice Cooper and missed this era of his career, you have a opportunity to complete your collection with these albums.

Cooper is one of the most productive rock-musicians I know of and he has almost released an album every year and he recorded 'Dirty Diamonds' in just 13 days, only to get the 'back to the basic into the garage sound'. Every album from the chock-rocker is not a happy marriage. These two albums aren't something I will choose when I list, best rock albums ever. Catchy old-fashion American rock 'n' roll without any specialties.

If you like the dusty and raw rock sound from the old days and missed these two disc from the horror-rock legend, this is maybe a good investment?
