Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released the very same year as their massive breakthrough 'Love It to Death', Alice Cooper's 'Killer' expanded their theatrical shock-rock into wildly ambitious, slightly progressive territory. The album is fiercely energetic and wonderfully sarcastic, pairing intensely rebellious, highly anthemic hard rock hooks with deeply playful, macabre tales of violence and desert occultism.
