I can't remember ever feeling so misled by an opening track. The title track of DaDa is a dark and terrifying soundscape of clanking, pounding, machine noises and audio samples (including a doll's voice) with space-age synths leering overhead. "DaDa" is easily one of the most interesting and unorthodox pieces of music in Alice Cooper's discography, and by the first 30 seconds I was all geared up for a full album's worth of chilling ambient music. No matter how many times I listen to DaDa, I still get disappointed by the reality.

Picked this up in 85 in a sound shop bargain bin. Still have it and looks brand new. The music is not what the average person would expect from Alice Cooper but it does have some interesting stuff on it. I can relate to the whole "blackout" era of Alice from personal experience. It is very hard to conceive losing long periods of time from memory if you have never been through it. Happened to me. My short term memory is still not right.

This album is unlike anything else he's done and has some amazing songs on it. 'Fresh Blood' and 'Former Lee Warmer' are my favorites.

This album is not for those who listen to music using their neck. I was 100% sure that this absolute gem would be extremely underrated. No surprise. Excellent Art-Rock album. This is the greatness of an artist like Alice Cooper. He has a variety and a fine music taste and delivers the goods in many subgenres with most of the time an exquisite outcome. This album is a 9/10 easily.

I never bothered to listen to this one because everyone seemed to hate it. Turns out DaDa is actually really damn good album, the music here is something you'd never expect from such hard rock icon as Alice Cooper. It's different and creative for sure, but not bad.

For me 4th in a row of his blackout albums. All of them very worthwhile and this one takes the spot as the best one. It's a bit more complex, darker and deeper. It fits Alice voice and image perfectly.
