Hey Stoopid

Rock icon Alice Cooper made a tremendous comeback in 1989 with the album in Poison. The album while multiplatinum seemed in some regards to play away from Alice's strengths which are in the lyrics. A couple of years later, the Coop returned with a much stronger release called Hey Stoopid. It contains the commercial sense of Trash but the guitars are more rocking and Alice's dark humor returns. Standouts include Love's A Loaded Gun which reminds me of his older material, Might As Well Be On Mars, and Windup Toy which is a return to his unique brand of shockrock. Fans of great hard rock will love this one. --John Taylor
