Love It to Death
Love It to Death is the third studio album by the American rock band Alice Cooper, released in March 1971. It was the band's first commercially successful album, and is considered to be where the band first consolidated its aggressive hard-rocking sound. The album's best-known track, "I'm Eighteen", was released as a single to test the band's commercial viability before the album was recorded.-Wwikipedia

Mark's Record Reviews
Every song on here rules until I hear otherwise. And that's the key. No blues licks, no folk rock, nothing corny, no novelty tunes, no Broadway show tunes - just gritty, dirty trips through Rock and Roll City and Haunted House Plantation. BUY IT!

1971 - Love it to death they and you may not, but at least like Love It To Death a lot many will, especially those with an ear for nicely-wrought mainstream punk raunch and snidely clever lyrics.

Ultimate Classic Rock
2016 - the group – inspired by the noisy rock bands they were encountering in their new home in Detroit, where the members had moved the previous year – turned up the volume, fine-tuned the songs and relaunched Alice Cooper as a tough rock 'n' roll band.

2016 - the kind of classic album that will still be relevant in another twenty five years from now

This album is undoubtedly a masterpiece of the highest caliber - and I, for one, Love It To Death.

2007 - It too is about succumbing to strains of mental illness and the forces of darkness that visit upon freshly soiled youth. It's perhaps the linchpin of the subgenre that evolved for decades afterward.

2014 - an album that both lived up to the wild image and is a far more musically successful distillation of the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floydisms explored on their first two LPs
