2005s return to the stinging hard rock that put him on the map is a welcome look back in anger. Kicking off with the gritty, driving guitars and snappy lyrical twists of "Woman of Mass Distraction," Coopers sleazy voice sounds as robust and distinctive as it did three decades ago. Riff happy nitroburners such as "Steal that Car," "Your Own Worst Enemy" and especially the "Under My Wheels" licks of "You Make Me Wanna" show that Cooper, now pushing 60, still has plenty of gas in the tank. A lovely, entirely non-ironic cover of The Left Bankes "Pretty Ballerina," complete with harpsichord and string section, proves that Cooper hasnt lost his touch with "Only Woman Bleed" style ballads either.
Dirty Diamonds, with its unnecessary nod to hip-hop ("Stand") and weak stab at country ("The Saga of Jesse Jane"), wont knock classics such as Schools Out, Billion Dollar Babies and Love it to Death from their well-deserved perch as archetypal blueprints of Coopers Halloween-styled gutsy rocking. Yet, at its best, the raw guitars and tightly arranged songs refreshingly recapture the brash attack and dark humor of his glory years. --Hal Horowitz
