Brutal Planet
Brutal Planet is the twenty-first studio album by Alice Cooper, released in 2000. Musically, this finds Alice tackling a much darker and heavier approach than on previous albums, with many songs approaching a somewhat modern-sounding, industrial/metal sound. Lyrically, it deals with themes of dark "social fiction", including domestic violence ("Take It Like a Woman"), prejudice("Blow Me a Kiss"), psychopathic behavior ("It's the Little Things"), war ("Pick Up the Bones") and school shootings ("Wicked Young Man"). -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Metal Storm
This is a new breed of Alice. A heavy, destructive, brutal Alice Cooper. This is easily his best album so far, solo or otherwise.

All Music
a cause to rejoice. It is a solid hard rock offering. Cooper is in great voice, and he sounds mean and spirited.

World Metal Domination
2018 - certainly a diamond in the rough that deserves a second listen

Metal Reviews
This record is full of surprises and will astonished many metal heads, as long as you like ... "commercial" indus-rock.

Confessions Of A Christian Freak
2014 - It’s very, very heavy, with a touch of some industrial rock thrown in to give it a nice jagged edge, but with all this modern updating, the sound is still very uniquely Alice Cooper.
-
Something Else Reviews
2011 - I love the heaviness, grit and, well, brutality, of much of the record, but I’m equally intrigued by the messages, themes and morality play approach.
-
Alltime Records
very much marked a return to serious songwriting, in which Cooper strives to create an over-arching musical statement along with an exceedingly good production and catchy melodies
-
Daily Vault
2001 - This is a thinking man's album, and its honest examinations of issues plaguing our society might even inspire you to be a better person.

Mark's Record Reviews
one of the best albums he's ever made
-
Rough Edge
thought- provoking, important music
-
Metal Storm
This is a dark, intense, blunt, and powerful album; the creepy is replaced by the evil, the tongue-in-cheek by the sardonic, and the quirky garage rock by lethal, monolithic industrial metal. Alice Cooper is at his most dangerous here.

All Reviews
Old fans should find this album a fresh approach with an updated musical style from the man who helped shape music today. New listeners probably will have a hard time believing this guy is as old as their parents, and won't be able to rid their minds of his infectious riffs.

Central NY Entertainment
If you allow yourself to buy in and surrender yourself to Alice Cooper's art, you're in for a hell of a time.

Cross Rythms
2000 - Musically, this is outstanding.
-
The Midlands Rocks
2013 - There’s a sense of purpose and a cohesion to Brutal Planet that make it infinitely greater than the sum of its parts.
