Alice Cooper – Paranormal
Released July 28th, 2017
Being an influential musician that has been in the business for over 40 years and is still active has to be difficult. Alice Cooper’s pushing 70 and has been touring solid for the last few years. If you had the pleasure of witnessing him on that stretch, you would’ve seen that Mr. Vincent Furnier can still command a stage with chilling skill, and he sounds great doing it. But putting out new music when the fans only want o hear 40 year-old classics has to be daunting. Can Alice Cooper still deliver the goods on a new record? Well, his first studio effort in six years, Paranormal, is here to provide the answer…and it’s yes. In short it’s a better album than it has any right to be. Paranormal is a well-crafted, thoroughly enjoyable distillation of the styles Cooper has explored over the years, and a fantastic reminder of how and why Alice Cooper has endured and continued to thrive.
