The Last Temptation Reviews:
Alice at his best 
2008-01-10 - Alice Cooper goes with a little less crunch on this CD and releases a great effort. The songs are very modern and cynical and sometimes funny. Cooper always has some of the best lyrics and keeps the fans intrigued.
What really got me into Alice Cooper... 
2007-12-09 - This is actually the second Alice Cooper album I ever got; the first was Welcome to my Nightmare. This, however, was what really got me into Alice Cooper. It's a good, even album: while nothing on it is likely to be automatically included on a "Best Of" album, neither does it contain some cuts which seem to have made it onto the album purely to fill space. It's a good choice for somebody trying to get into Alice Cooper, up there with The Eyes of Alice Cooper and Welcome to My Nightmare.
sheesh, some people just dont know they're stupid.
2007-08-20 - Jaseff Stroud "MrGonzo" is, well, wrong.
alice cooper made this concept album with neil gaiman. neil and alice made up a central character, alice made an album for him, neil made a comic book with the same name. both are awesome. "giving satan the finger". what is that.
I also consider this one of his best!
2007-08-01 - I was having an "Alice Cooper" conversation yesterday, the person claimed to be a fan but had never heard of this album. So I decided to post a review for others who may be unaware of its existence. But, considering the number of reviews...I guess that's not that much of a problem!!
This is my personal favorite Cooper album and is also the closest thing to Prog-Rock he has (admittedly I haven't heard everything). It is quite an interesting album, being based upon a story jointly written by Alice and Sandman/Stardust/American Gods author Neil Gaimen (also get the 3-issue comic series if you can).
There's not a bad song on the thing but "Bad Place Alone", "You're My Temptation" and "Unholy War" stand out and my personal favorite is the final track "Cleansed by Fire".
There are several "guests" - Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell who sings on "Stolen Prayer" and "Unholy War", co-wrote the former and wrote the latter. And the keyboardist is Derek Sherinian, Dream Theater's keysman in the late 90s.
If you like Alice Cooper, like prog-rock or just like good Rock n' Roll in general - get this! Get this ASAP!!
What's it missing? 
2007-07-29 - As a long time/lifetime Cooper fan,I'll be the first to ache when I don't like a Cooper cd.This cd,in concept is great,however,the Cooper punch is not there.I particularly don't like the special guest bit.Alice has always been better with a stable band..ie..1969-1974,Wagner,Hunter,Ryan Roxie,Eric Singer and currently (2007).The stability makes it all better.
That aside,I feel that the theme is "unconventional" for Alice.Although he tries to involve Alice as the villain,it's just not as good as before.
It's too sugar coated.I know that all types of moral issues were going on with Alice himself that the themes tried to go along with his personal beliefs.
The songs are not as good either,besides the fact that this cd took forever to come out,I expected something better.In conclusion,when you strip away all the comic books and storyline and makeup and shock,Alice is all about the music and the music suffers greatly.This cd is one of my least fav's next to Muscle of Love.There was a spark missing,something that was strong in "Hey Stoopid" and was re-ignited in "Brutal Planet".
