Input: ... BRUTAL PLANET ... seems too forced ... . "BRUTAL PLANET" REVIEW: In Alice Cooper's long and successful career (admittedly with ups and downs along the way), he has proved (to me at least) that he is one of the best lyricist in rock and roll history. Albums like "Love It To Death," "Killer," "Billion Dollar Babies," and "Welcome To My Nightmare" are just simply put - BRILLIANT. Alice was at the top of his game in the 70's. However, that is not to suggest that he's never released worthy material since then. In fact the quite opposite. Albums like his 1983 hidden gem "Dada," 1991's "Hey Stoopid" and the brilliant "The Last Temptation" (1994) is amongst some of Alice's best work. However, in the summer of 2000, Alice unleashed BRUTAL PLANET, which was produced by Bob Marlette (Union - "The Blue Room") and executive produced by the great Bob Ezrin. While there are standout tracks like the title track, "Sanctuary," and "Take It Like A Woman" --- the album just falls flat. The new musical direction (Nu-Metal) seems too forced which is truly unfortunate because the album boasts some of the best lyrics Alice has ever written. MUSICIANS: Ryan Roxie ... Guitars Phil X ...

There was a Japanese/Australian bonus track called "Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me". That title was actually inspired by dialogue spoken in the hit animated show "The Simpsons". 3. The stage show - which can be seen on the "Brutally Live" DVD - is a post-apocalyptic landscape of wreckage that also features the Frankenstein machine, a Guillotine, two TV's - and in some cases - three TV's showing weird video footage all through out the show. PACKAGING: The album cover - which was created by Kane Roberts' company PlanetFX - is a decent and once again, the booklet does feature the album's lyrics. APPROX. RUNNING TIME: 48 min. and 4 sec. FINAL ANALYSIS: Musically the album just plods along and is devoid of any real energy. Despite being lyrically well-written, "Brutal Planet" is certainly the most disappointing release from Alice since his 1989 album, "Trash". **1/2 out of 5.
