Billion Dollar Babies Album Review

ALICE COOPER
Billion Dollar Babies

Producer(s): none listed
Warner Bros. BS 2685

One of the best solid rock groups recording today have produced another set of unpretentious, straight rock. Cooper is a top vocalist and the band backs him ably, with this entire LP a bit tighter than previous efforts. Key to the group's success, besides top musical performances, seems to be the ability to draw the line between good fun and tastelessness, an ability they have mastered. Each member makes a contribution, be it in writing, singing or playing and this is another plus. Best cuts: "Hello Hooray" and "Elected" (both single hits), "No More Mister Nice Guy" and "Generation Landslide."
