Description
"A Descent into Dark Theatricality"
"Alice Cooper's 1971 album, "Love It To Death," marked a turning point. Shedding their earlier psychedelic leanings, they embraced a raw, aggressive hard rock sound. This uncensored vinyl pressing, likely featuring the original "exposed penis" cover , throws you headfirst into their shocking world.
The iconic lineup – Vincent Furnier (Alice Cooper), Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith – unleash a torrent of distorted guitars, pounding drums, and Alice's signature raspy vocals. Tracks like "I'm Eighteen," a rebellious anthem of teenage angst, and the epic "Black Juju," a nine-minute exploration of dark magic, showcase their newfound ferocity.
But "Love It To Death" isn't just about bludgeoning riffs. The haunting ballad "Ballad of Dwight Fry" tells a tragic tale of a fading Hollywood star, while "Is It My Body" explores themes of alienation and body image. The album's closer, "Sun Arise," offers a glimmer of hope with its soaring melody, but the darkness always lingers around the edges
This uncensored version stands as a testament to the band's unfiltered vision. It's a raw, powerful record that established Alice Cooper as the godfather of shock rock and a pioneer of theatrical rock performances. It's a must-have for any fan of hard rock and a glimpse into the genesis of a legend. "
