By the time 1989 rolled around, Alice Cooper's last noteworthy album was older than the careers of most of his competition. After a few years of sobriety and a few forays into this glam rock business that was lighting up the charts, Alice finally returned to mainstream success with Trash, a hook-and-synth-heavy concession to the MTV scene that emulated the ritzy, glitzy edge of bands like Mötley Crüe.

"Poison" is a classic rock song, and "Spark In The Dark" has a great riff and chorus. But "Bed Of Nails" is my fave song on this album. Its still commercial like the rest of the album, but there's a touch of the classic Alice menace on this song! I also like "Im Your Gun" and "Why Trust You". Im not normally a fan of that very commercial 80's hard rock, but Alice pulls it off, and makes it sound great! I agree "Hey Stoopid" is better though. xD

The lyrics on this album are atrocious. Catchy songs but simple and basically pop-rock. Probably designed to appeal to a commercial, mass market. I remember it sold big when it came out. The single Poison was all over the radio and I do love that song. But as a metal album, this really is trash.

Written by Ace Frawley on 25.07.2012 at 23:46 But Alice Cooper has pretty much always been hard rock, rather than metal. The lyrics on this album are atrocious, but musically I find there is a lot to love about it.

Written by Angelic Storm on 25.07.2012 at 23:55 Yep, you are right about that. I was blinkered in my view because I sometimes can't get out of the mindset that this as a site devoted only to metal albums but obviously there are a lot here that aren't metal. I think my beef with this album is mostly the lyrics and also with the commercial nature of the songs. I do love the song "Poison" and get a real buzz every time I hear it. I think it is a fantastic song (and probably the most commercially successful, so I can't explain that).

Written by Yaniv on 11.01.2013 at 14:08 Poison is by far the best track of the album, no doubt about it. The rest is pretty weak though

Written by [user id=17278] on 11.01.2013 at 15:38 Hey Stoopid! was even worse than Trash The Last Temptation was indeed better. But only marginally.

Written by Angelic Storm on 11.01.2013 at 15:41 I probbably spin Poison on a biweekly basis still But the lyrics hit close to home though, maybe thta helps and I am a sucker for those kinds of songs just like Touch Too Much by AC?DC the exact same kind of feel to the song and lyrics

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 11.01.2013 at 15:44 I guess that is the reason why I've never been able to fully engage with songs that are themed around love/sex/romance type things. I can't relate to them at all, and therefore, even if I like the song musically, there is something preventing me from liking the song fully. I've only been more surprised on these forums once, than finding out you like Poison (the song, not the band!  ). And that was when Ravenking said he thought Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar On Me "isn't a bad song". I haven't seen RK around these forums for a while now actually...

Written by Angelic Storm on 11.01.2013 at 16:10 you do know that I immensely enjoy Hysteria to bits, right? Especially side A with immense songs such as WOmen, Rocket, Animal, Love Bites, Pour SOme Sugar On Me, and Armageddon it. It's that side B pulls it down. I think it is the immense layeredness of the songs that does it for me and although it is immensely overporduced it seems to work on side A

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 11.01.2013 at 16:16 Nope, I had absolutely no idea that you enjoyed "Hysteria", in fact I'd have thought that you despised that album. It is way too overproduced, and lyrically, it's pretty awful, but musically I love most of it. I would totally agree that side A is far superior to side B. "Gods Of War" is the only song on side B that I love. That song and "Rocket" are my faves on the album. The latter song was actually the first Def Leppard song I ever remember hearing... it's still an immense song to me.

Why Trust You, Only My Heart Talkin' and I'm Your Gun aren't bad but I think their quality is overshadowed by Poison, Spark in The Dark, House of Fire, Bed of Nails and This Maniac's In Love With You, the title track being the weakest on the album.

This was one of the first albums I ever bought. I enjoyed Bed of Nails, Poison, Hell is Living Without You and other classics, but these days it sounds pretty outdated pop rock. The songs are catchy alright, they're just products of their time.
