Alice Cooper - Killer

Mastered by Steve Hoffman

Rolling Stone called Killer one of the best albums of 1971. Following on the heels of Audio Fidelity's hugely successful School's Out comes the Alice Cooper classic, Killer. Alice is in top form vocally, and the individual songs on Killer are strong and memorable. "Halo Of Flies" would be reason enough to want this essential piece of the rock canon. The band's stage show dealt with the macabre, and such tracks as "Dead Babies" and the title track fit in perfectly. Other songs were even more exceptional, such as the concert favorite "Under My Wheels" and "Be My Lover" and the tribute to their fallen friend Jim Morrison, "Desperado." "You Drive Me Nervous" and "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" showed that Alice Cooper hadn't completely abandoned their early garage-rock direction. With "Killer," Alice Cooper became one of the world's top rock bands and concert attractions. This is a hard rocking raucous foot stomping romp from beginning to end.
