Dada Review
Alice Cooper, Dada (Warner Brothers.-WEA)
On one song off the latest from Alice Cooper, he tells the story of someone who likes going around draining blood from his various victims, sort of an urban Dracula (maybe they could make a flick out of it with John Travolta in the lead?). Well, DaDa sounds as if Cooper's been one of his victims.
Despite some bizarre song settings, Cooper has been drained of life, unable to come up with any interesting songs no matter how hard he tries to be hip by incorporating the latest in technology. It's enough to make you wish Cooper would get out the eye shadow, dust off his boa and go back to being a nasty rocker once again. (Rating: F)
