Under My Wheels
Alice Cooper
WB 7529

Alice has revved up in his singles mode again, and the result is a predictably powerhouse side dominated by largish guitar chords and a hoarsely forceful vocal. The instrumental track hums with energy derived from a flotilla of guitars, drums, saxes and the works. All of this sound is matched by fury in the form of the record's lyrics, which explore the metaphor of a gent who has his ladyfriend under his wheels. It's a number from the group's November-bound Killer album and it certainly sounds like as apt an introduction as "I'm Eighteen" was to Alice's last monster LP, Love It to Death.
