Review
Alice Cooper's 1989 rollercoaster ride, 'Trash,' is where shock rock meets the bombastic flair of late '80s glam metal. Produced by the maestro Desmond Child, this album glimmers with commercial charm while holding on tightly to Cooper’s spooky stage allure. Imagine those electric parties where chart-toppers made jaws drop and jaws not only dropped but levitated! With 'Trash,' Alice Cooper reclaimed his rock throne, all zipped up with big hair and dazzling lights that defined that stunningly loud era.
The guest list is a dreamy collage, featuring rock’s royalty with names like Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora strumming alongside Joan Jett, and let's not sideline the legends from Aerosmith, all jamming together in a starlit sonic frenzy. Highlights "Poison," "House of Fire," "Bed of Nails," and "Only My Heart Talkin'" serve as an explosive testament to Mr. Cooper's acumen at blending dark, humorous themes with hit-making melodics. He orchestrated a tour aptly titled "Alice Cooper Trashes The World"; pure theatre set to eleven, delighting metal fans the world over. If this metamorphosis isn’t a rock 'n' roll fairy tale laced with screaming guitars and booming choruses, I don’t know what is! - Beth
