I listened to this in the other thread already. Interested in what the group thinks.
Allmusic said every Ted Nugent Album and Kid Rock were similar.

This is not hitting me the same way it did last time. Not enjoying it as much. Might just be my crummy mood though. WHICH OFFSPRING ISN'T GOING TO OFFSET THERE GENERATOR!!!!

Maxwell - "Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite": "Modern Rn'B" or "neo-soul" is not really my go-to genre under most circumstances, and this is pretty much the epitome of the genre. Slick, well produced and well played. But after a couple of songs I lose interest and at the last song I'm fast asleep. A can appreciate the talent at display here, and in small doses, in the right context, this is enjoyable, but at almost an hour of the same mid-to-slow tempo soul jams, I just lose focus after a while. Score: 3/5
Alice Cooper - "Billion Dollar Babies": A favourite hard rock album from the 70s, and it actually hold up pretty strong to this day. I like how the band pushed the boundaries of traditional "verse-chorus-verse" songwriting on a lot af their most enduring songs from the 70s (case studies here: "Billion Dollar Babies", "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "Generation Landslide" and "Elected"). And just check how the sugar sweet pop/rock-bliss of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is subverted with some truly grim lyrics. This is essential listening. 4/5

Enjoyed the Maxwell album. The bass lines might have been my favorite part, some solid grooves. 3/5.

I've never listened to Maxwell before but I'm actually surprised how fresh the album sounded. I was worried it would sound kind of dated.

Speaking of albums that sound not so fresh and very dated.....just starting Alice Cooper now.

Maxwell is proving to be a great palate cleanser after three albums I didn't much enjoy over on my personal project. Been a few years since I've gone deep on this one. Still loving every once of it so far!

As a child of the 70's/80's Alice Cooper was not my jam back then, and that hasn't changed. 1/5.

I didn't like Maxwell at first but it grew on me towards the end. I think it was the bass lines. I gave it a 3/5.
The Alice Cooper album is catchier than I expected but it's still not really my thing. I think I'm going to rate this a 2/5.

Slap bass is a musical war crime.

I like Alice Cooper the person more than Alice Cooper the musician. One of my roommates in college turned me on to his radio show which was really good.
I've never listened to a full Alice Cooper album before this one, so that was kind of fun to do and I did enjoy it more than I thought I would, but it's not really my jam. 2.5/5
Ted Nugent can suck a fart direct from my source and die. Only Kid Rock deserves the honor of being compared to him. When they die their cremated remains should get dumped in a construction site porta-poddy so they can be crowned as the kings they are one last time.

Can't wait til Kid Rock gets pulled for this, because it's in there!

Like I said in the other thread, subject matter aside, I enjoy the glam rock aspects of the Alice Cooper album. Its not awful. Its not something I'm gonna listen to a bunch but I'm not gonna turn the radio off when it hits. 3 stars.
