Alice Cooper in the modern age...

I have loved Alice Cooper for eons. He is and always will be my favorite artist. I think his best work was done in the 70's, but his next best work has been in the modern age since 2000's Brutal Planet. What is your favorite album of Alice's since 2000?

Mine is Brutal Planet. I was blown away by it then and still am today. Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson need to take notes on how to make an awesome dark metal album. Brutal Planet smokes from beginning to end. Plus that tour was the best out of all the 200's tours.

I love Brutal Planet also, the songs are so dark.

Brutal Planet

Not just dark..... HEAVY!!!!

Dragontown. Brutal Planet is second and is a great album. However, Dragontown IMO has the most memorable songs and I love the lyrics in the songs (i.e. Disgraceland, Sister Sarah, Sex Death and Money, It's Much Too Late, and Dragontown). Although, just about anything Alice Cooper has done, that I've heard, is great (not including Man Behind the Mask which was practically unlistenalbe).

Brutal Planet! AWESOME!!!

DragonTown is good but lacks the fire of BP!

Eyes and Diamonds are both great returns to the 70's style of the original Alice Cooper Band! Not nearly as good as B$B, Killer or LitD, But far above L&W!

Listening to The Eyes Of Alice Cooper tonight and I must say I love it. When I heard the heaviness of the first two was replaced I put off getting anything else from him (up until Brutal Planet I was only a casual Alice fan). I am kicking myself for waiting so long and plan on getting some more in the Future. This album is some good rocking, upbeat music from this living legend.

I voted for "Dirty Diamonds."

You know how bands always say that they're "getting back to their roots," and then you're always disappointed because they didn't?

Dirty Diamonds is SO similar to Love It To Death, Killer, School's Out, and Billion Dollar Babies. If you're a fan of early Alice, check out Dirty Diamonds.

I like the power of Dragontown and BP but I also like the wit and humor of his last 2. There is no one like Alice Cooper, thats for sure.

Brutal Planet, but had you listed "Last Temptation" I would have voted for it. However, I like them all.

I like'em all, it was very close but I gave the nod to Dragontown. I actually didn't care for Dragontown or Brutal Planet when they were first released. I felt BP was too nu-metal/industrial and DT was too all over the place musically. But over the years, whenever I dust'em off, I'm surprised by how good they really are. I like both albums more than I ever did.

Eyes and Diamonds are great as well, but I hope The Coop heads more into straight-ahead hard rock on the next album. But if he continues with his garage rock ways, I'm sure it'll still be quality stuff.

I haven't heard Diamonds, but Eyes was a huge letdown for me. Booooooooooring.

Diamonds wouldn't be for you then. Pretty much Eyes Part 2.

That's what I figured.
