Powerage5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Alice's last two albums were great, with Along Came a Spider being the best out of the two overall, in my opinion.In think W2MN had some great moments, but I'd hardly call it a great album. You just didn't get it. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tries, and does well, but its not even in the league of his greatest stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think the songs are there, more or less. I just think the production on ever album since about Hey Stoopid has been shit. Everything is over produced, especially his voice. The proof is in the live shows - a song that might sound lackluster on the album sounds amazing live. Look at Dirty Diamonds, Caffeine, In Touch With Your Feminine Side, even Brutal Planet. They all are so much more natural live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The whole Alice-goes-Hollywood-Metal era has had it's moments, but none of it holds a candle to 71-75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raise Your Fist And Yell is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raise Your Fist And Yell is one of my favorites.Yeah it has its moments, and I guess Chop Chop Chop is marginally better than Thrill My Gorilla. You can pull some good tunes from '86 onward, but a lot of it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like Raise Your Fist...a lot, and Constrictor too (to a lesser degree)Dada is a bit overlooked I reckon.The Eyes Of Alice Cooper (the Blink 182 sounding album) is a disgrace, as usual there is one good song (be with you a while)I didn't like Along Came A Spider very much either, killed by love and vengeance is mine are great though.

bacardimayne Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Arcade Fire got less good after Funeral. Albums 2 and 3 were average. Reflektor is a return to form but still not nearly Funeral-tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Neon Bible was better than Reflektor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Death Magnetic is a good album but there's a lot of filler and weaker rehashing to please the fans... it's still enjoyable but there is a certain lingering sense of parody within the music... Suicide and Redemption is awesome and That Was Just Your Life is furious, Cyanide and End of the Line sound different but things like The Day That Never Comes, My Apocalypse and Broken Beat and Scarred I feel uneasy with. Judas Kiss is way too plodding but it's a progressive sound at least.Judas Kiss is my favourite song on that album - that and All Nightmare Long.

Amir Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like Mama Said, and I Was Made For Loving You, and Dance Part 1, and Until it Sleeps, and Sample and Hold, and Reflektor is one of my favourite albums...But St. Anger was doo-doo.

moreblack Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Dada is a bit overlooked I reckon.Rightfully so IMO, that whole period with Flush The Fashion, From The Inside, Zipper Catches Skin, Lace And Whiskey and culminating with DaDa was just one letdown after the next.

Other than that there were some great songs from Goes To Hell through Constrictor, but not a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakey Styley Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Is there even another a band that has lasted as long and well as RHCP? Even I'm With You is pretty good and that's without Frusciante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
