"Shut Up And Rock" has to be the worst song I heard this year.

Posts: 5659 Written by RaduP on 26.02.2021 at 14:31 that didn't answer my question, but anyway. Maybe you don't like AC in the first place, I don't know. Maybe you find the song predictable, or you disliked the lyrics etc.

Posts: 9648 Written by John_Doe on 26.02.2021 at 14:36 I do like Alice Cooper, and have liked a few of his album post 2000. But the lyrics and the whole sound of it was completely out of touch and cringe-worthy.

Posts: 5659 Written by RaduP on 26.02.2021 at 14:38 I think the point he's trying to make is that everyone is either too serious or too sensitive, no fun anymore, which it sadly happens, not out of touch at all. or example, one of my cringe listenings in 2020 was Bon Jovi's new album. He's expressing his opinion on 2020 and what was going on in the US and TBH I don't care... Also the songwriting was bland as well, so no redeeming factor. So yeah, "shut up and rock"...

I get what he was going for here, but I'm not feeling it. I do like parts of the album and don't think it's bad by any means, just his weakest in the last ten years or so.

Posts: 435 Written by RaduP on 26.02.2021 at 14:24 I think 'Hanging on by a Thread' is worse. I really wish he'd left it off the album.

Posts: 232 Written by RaduP on 26.02.2021 at 14:38 Just the fact he used "rock" in reference to the genre as a song title is cringe in itself. Same goes for metal bands that title their songs, "metal" somewhere but some can be forgiven.

Such an uneven album. Is this suppose to be a loose concept album or something?

Posts: 435 Written by Aries Rising on 15.03.2021 at 08:38 It's not a concept album so much as an homage to the Detroit sound, a kind of extension of his e.p. 'Breadcrumbs'. And four of the fifteen songs are covers btw.

Compared with Paranormal and Welcome 2 My Nightmare it sounds like Alice has aged like hell. This sounds so tired and it takes a long time for anything to get going and when it does (in the pretty funny I Hate You and solid Wonderful World) it's too late and too little.
