Music reviews of From the Inside (Jewl)
Music Review: from the inside
Rating: 5 Stars
even after 35 years die-hard alice fans are still upset over the break-up of the original alice cooper group. while we all hold our breath for a long overdue reunion, we can take comfort in the fact that @61, alice still performs most of his classics on tour and with each new studio release proves that he at least still has a sense of humor.
after admitting himself into the new york state hospital to help cope with his alcohol addiction, alice cooper returns to the studio and releases "from the inside", his fourth solo album. this overlooked gem is easily his best lp since "welcome to my nightmare" and rivals "billion dollar babies" in packaging. (it's one of my favorite cover photos from any artist). the music contains some excellent guitar work from vets dick wagner and steve lukather (toto), and the lyrics are probably the best in alice's catalog thanks to a collaboration with bernie taupin. (ironically a former drinking partner). offering a wide range of interesting characters, rumored to be based on actual individuals from the hospital, this album has something for everyone to sink their teeth into.
although sounding slightly dated (recorded at the height of disco) "from the inside" is a good opening semi-rocker that gives you a brief introduction into the life of alice on the road. containing the heartfelt hit "how are you gonna see me now", alice delivers his best ballad, and the semi-ballads "the quiet room" and "jackknife johnny" could easily appear on an elton john album. the album contains great two rockers; "wish I were born in beverly hills" and "serious" (guest guitarist rick nielsen). "millie and billie", although somewhat haunting, is also somewhat silly as well as "veronica's sake", about a dog. the best songs on the album are "nurse rozetta" with the classic lyric: "she popped the buckle off my bible belt" and "inmates (we're all crazy)", a minor masterpiece.
the "mad house rock" tour, promoting the "from the inside" album featured a healthy alice back with a vengeance. although retaining the giant screen with new pre-filmed images, there was a greater emphasis placed on several other props and new characters, including his wife sheryl, and the return of the electric chair for the popular execution sequence. eddie money and blondie were among the opening acts. -- set list: from the inside/serious/nurse rozetta/the quiet room/i never cry/devil's food (intro only)/welcome to my nightmare/billion dollar babies/only women bleed/no more mr. nice guy/i'm eighteen/the black widow (instrumental)/wish i were born in beverly hills/dead babies/balled of dwight fry/all strapped up/it's hot tonight (instrumental)/go to hell/wish you were here/how you gonna see me now/inmates (we're all crazy)/school's out
released december 1978 it reached #68 usa and #61 uk - single: how you gonna see me now b/w no tricks (#12) - from the inside (edit) b/w nurse rozetta (#0)
every alice cooper album has great songs that never made radio. it's not the hits, but the deeper cuts that are the real black beauties... blinddog pick: nurse rozetta / inmates (we're all crazy)
