Best New Wave Alice Cooper Album

I'm feeling an Alice Cooper New Wave kick coming on. I'm not into much New Wave save for a few bands but I've always loved AC's New Wave period to which he refers to as his "blackout" years save for 'Flush The Fashion'. Personally I have to go with 'Zipper Catches Skin' which is one of my top fave AC albums overall.

Zipper Catches Skin is just an awesome hidden gem of the Alice Cooper discography.

I totally agree. When I was growing up all I heard was disparaging remarks about this period of AC and this album and 'DaDa' in particular so it took years and years for me to give them a listening to. I'll rank all four of them after I give them all a fresh listen all the way through.

My favorite album from Alice's new wave period is 'Special Forces' just love that album. Or maybe 'Da Da' which returns Alice to a darker subject matter of his past albums, with his twisted humor still intact.

'Special Forces' is a really good album too. I jammed it earlier and liked it even more. I have 'Special Forces (The Acetate Mixes) as well that has a more unrefined sound that I like.

Never listened to any of them, but DaDa's title track is one cool, creepy song.

I just love this album. It has all the cynicism one would ever need.
