About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

With Billion Dollar Babies, Alice Cooper refined the raw grit of their earlier work in favor of a slightly more polished sound (courtesy of super-producer Bob Ezrin), resulting in a mega-hit album that reached the top of the U.S. album charts. Song for song, Billion Dollar Babies is probably the original Alice Cooper group's finest and strongest. Such tracks as "Hello Hooray," the lethal stomp of the title track, the defiant "Elected" (a rewrite of an earlier song, "Reflected"), and the poison-laced pop candy of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" remain among Cooper's greatest achievements. Also included are a pair of perennial concert standards -- the disturbing necrophilia ditty "I Love the Dead" and the chilling macabre of "Sick Things" -- as well as such strong, lesser-known selections as "Raped and Freezin'," "Unfinished Sweet," and perhaps Cooper's most overlooked gem, "Generation Landslide." Nothing seemed like it could stop this great hard rock band from overtaking the universe, but tensions between the members behind the scenes would force the stellar original AC band to split up after just one more album. Not only is Billion Dollar Babies one of Cooper's very best; it remains one of rock's all-time, quintessential classics. Greg Prato, All Music Guide

October 12, 2003: I've had Billion Dollar Babies for years now and I'm still amazed by the sound of this album. This album stands the test of time because the band acted as one unit. If you're just finding out who Alice Cooper is; then Billion Dollar Babies is the best place to start.

October 10, 2000: This man is the greatest musician alive. And you really can't call him a musician he is a ground breaking musician. He has with stood the ages and broken through all the road blocks. Next he goes through M.Manson. Go Vincent I mean Alice.
