Easy Action Reviews:
Come on, give me a break! 
2008-07-02 - I just had to chime in on this. The original Alice Cooper group had some wonderful moments. But to include this album as one of them is a huge mistake. It is simply awful with no decent musical flair. Don't even think of buying it just to have in your collection-you'll be sorely disappointed. I wish the original members had stuck together...I still don't know what happened?
Genius in Waiting 
2008-02-02 - I bought this album on the strength of the only track I had heard, catchy piano driven opener "Mr. and Misdemeanor," as well as the strength of this albums follow up, Alice Cooper's 1971 masterpiece Love It to Death . Because Love it to Death is so strong, this is a bit of a disappointment in comparison. But it is, nevertheless, a strong album, and an interesting listen from a band that was converging on its early sound but which hadn't quite found it just yet.
The name of the album comes from lyrics found in the track "Still No Air," which is a mix of the gritty sound that Alice would use on Love it to Death, Killer, and Billion Dollar Babies. In fact, the entire album has a strange sound to it, as the band experiments with elements of its future sound while occasionally sounding more like early Pink Floyd or The Who. It makes for a somewhat confused effort, but one that certainly doesn't lack for variety or even spontaneity.
Not bad 
2007-10-31 - Well Better than there first. Mr. And Misdemeanor is probobbly the only really good song on the album but there really are no bad songs eather.It's just not the Alice Cooper we see emerge with there next album "love it to Death"But if your a true collector such as I you will apprecate it.
CD had a scratch down the middle
2007-06-14 - Very quick shipping but the CD had a scratch that made it not play correctly on some of my various players, but it did play on the better ones, so I'm not complaining, just alerting the seller to double check products closely.
Nice Sophmore Effort
2006-12-07 - The Alice Cooper Band's second album sees the band still recording for Frank Zappa's label. The music starts to turn in the direction of the material that would later make them famous. No real macabre stuff yet, but the album is definitely a progression from their first one. The album was produced by David Brigs who is probably best known for working with Neal Young. The opening track, "Mr. And Misdemeanor" has always been a favorite of mine and a great example of Alice's talent for playing on words. "Shoe Salesman", "Below Your Means", "Return Of The Spiders", and the short but cool "Refrigerator Heaven" are all good tunes. The finale of "Beautiful Flyaway" and "Lay Down And Die, Goodbye" is also a great way to end things. The Alice Cooper band would be signed to Capitol and hit the big time with their next release. "Easy Action" would be a strong stepping stone to get to that point.
