The two hundred and ninety-seventh album: #297 Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
While Alice Cooper's presentation feels like one of the big glam rock stars, listening to Billion Dollar Babies I can see the seeds of metal in there, sounded darker and more harrowing in places even if in other places the glam rock side really takes over for a weirder experience. It's probably the mix of both that is at play here and works, a darker undertone to a more experimental glam rock track. There are quite a few nice, good bits here and the combination works best on a track like Sick Things, slow and draining with a heavy bass, rather than when it tries to go conventionally rock-like.
