Detroit stories

"Detroit Stories is his most concise bolt of precision-tooled heavy rock in 50 years, enhanced by Ezrin's robust production and Alice on lethal form, vocally and lyric-wise ... At 73, Alice has come home to give his home city a new classic to add to its illustrious hard rock legacy".

"Alice Cooper er vendt tilbage til udgangspunktet: Detroit ... Cooper hylder bil-byen og dens beskidte rock-ry med 15 covers og nyskrevne sange. Og hvis man ikke er for kræsen og kan nøjes fest, lir, larm, retro, nostalgi og enkelte strejf af gammel storhed undervejs, så kør med ... 73-årige Coopers egen vokal er i genkendelig fin vrængende form. Godt håndværk, og ikke kedeligt og for poleret. Men ofte også mere rollespil end hjerteblod og mere sjov end alvor".

"Possibly the weirdest and by extension greatest track on the record is I Hate You, in which the various musicians playing confess which of their band mates' annoying attributes pisses them off the most. Part group therapy, part affectionate ribbing, its honesty and wit is oddly disarming".

"Even with its all-star cast of Detroit players (Wayne Kramer, Grand Funk Railroad's Mark Farner, members of the original Alice Cooper band, and many others all contribute), Detroit Stories is stuck in a confusing limbo somewhere between tribute to Detroit and another album of the kind of campy, theatrical, radio-geared hard rock Cooper has been turning in since Hey Stoopid. Never quite committing to either concept, Detroit Stories ends up feeling like a handful of solid covers of classic Detroit tunes with some Alice Cooper extras thrown in at random".
