The penultimate album by Alice Cooper (the band) before the beginning of the career of Alice Cooper (the solo artist).
Producer Bob Ezrin helps the band find a rockier yet more polished sound. There are still hints of Zappa-esque touches of fusion and doowop, and AC's own touches of theatricality that had featured on past albums. Certainly I could imagine that Jim Steinman and Meatloaf might have been listening to this album at some point when crafting their sound.
The album delivered a track, "No more mr nice guy" that would go on to remain Alice's unofficial anthem (regardless of subsequent golfing matches with Kenny G undermining his bad guy credibility somewhat).
