5.0 out of 5 stars My second favorite Alice Cooper album, and yet Rhino hasn't even touched it yet while I wait for a remastered version, July 26, 2006

I truly appreciate that Rhino Records re-released and remastered Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies" and "Welcome To My Nightmare" which included bonus tracks and more.

Rhino's 4 CD box set was rather a disappointment because they chopped up or only gave us "single" versions of many of his tracks. So when I saw "Welcome To My Nightmare" come out re-released and remastered from Rhino, I was hoping that Rhino would re-release and remaster Alice Cooper's entire catalog.

At least, Rhino should consider remastering Alice Cooper's "Love it To Death", "Killer", and "School's Out".

"Love it To Death", and "Killer" really need some extra attention. The first and only issues of these two albums from Warner Brothers just sound simply awful.

Come on Rhino, please finish what you started.

5.0 out of 5 stars School's Back In!, May 30, 2000

By 

Brent Evans (Rockhampton, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: School's Out (Audio CD)

SCHOOL'S OUT was the album that put the Alice Cooper Group way over the top.Taking every worn out cliche of American High School,a dollop of teen angst,and a love of WEST SIDE STORY,and you have a classic seventies(and beyond)release.The title track has always been a song to be played on the last day of school(very loudly!).Many music styles are incorporated:cool jazz(BLUE TURK),space rock(MY STARS),hard rock(PUBLIC ANIMAL NUMBER 9),and broadway show tunes(GUTTER CATS VERSUS THE JETS,FINALE).My favorite track is ALMA MATER because it shows a hitherto unseen sensitive side of the Coop.SCHOOL'S OUT is a perfect concept album for the teenage years.Even the cover was innovative for it's time(I wish I had the first edition with the "surprise" wrapper) .I'd advise all novice Cooper addicts to purchase this release.Remember the Coop,eh?

5.0 out of 5 stars One Killer Guitar Lick, July 13, 2007

I have read the other reviews and I agree with all of them. But I had to add that this album is worth buying if only for the title song. The opening to School's Out is probably one of the best guitar licks around. Instantly recognizable, like Johnny B. Goode and Smoke on the Water, it is so simple but just screams off the album. Combined with the bass, and Alice's feral screams, the song is amazing. The rest of the album is good but would only merit 3.5-4 stars, especially when compared with Killer and Billion Dollar Babies. It is the title song that kicks it up to five stars.
