Alice Cooper - Raise Your Fist And Yell

This is a fantastic album.

Way better than the previous album. And I don't mean just the production, but literally everything. There's nice balance between metal and more commercial style, it's not a forced radio hit album like Trash. Kane Roberts clearly used JCM800 here, that's the be all, end all 80's guitar amp out there, you could plug in a frigging tennis racket and it would sound awesome.

How can this be rated better than muscle of Love?

That certainly is an album cover.

Huge step forward from Constrictor. The production is heavier, the lyrics are better written and Alice sounds more at home here. Kane Roberts is also giving it all here with some great shredding moments at times. Side A has some questionable moments but Side B is solid throughout. Closing Roses on White Lace is the obvious highlight.. it's kind of odd hearing Alice Cooper singing such a intense heavy metal track.
