Title: I'm Cryin In My Beer
Review: Something was different. Alice without makeup, Alice in a tuxedo.The band had gone taking some of their spark with them but Nightmare would suprise by it's depth.Alice sings of giant spiders and a cyclops,and of course Ethyl his stone cold girlfriend. The gutteral rasp of Devil's Food, the kick of Only Women Bleed give the first sign that Alice Mk2, parody or not was going to be worthwhile.Dept Of Youth with its immortal line on Donny Osmond introduced black humour into Alice's music, no one I have ever heard since has delivered anything like it for me.Steven, is the album's conceptual stagepiece and is really pretty chilling. But for me the album's closing song Escape is the most overlooked of Alice's entire solo career, this surely is John Lennon just back from his first LSD trip and wanting to tell the world about it. Steal my mascara any time you like Alice just dont tell the Pope, I'm a catholic girl.Alice could still make music without his band no need to wake up just yet.
Is the review positive or negative?
