Billboard album reviews (Reuters)
Reuters - Alice Cooper has got lots of ladies
on his mind. Troublemakers ("Woman of Mass Distraction"),
wannabe stars ("Perfect") and haughty brats ("Sunset Babies ")
all occupy "Dirty Diamonds," their tales set against rock
backdrops that pay homage to the British Invasion. This style
infuses most of the album, but it wouldn't be a Cooper record
if he didn't take bizarre detours like the cover of the Left
Banke's psychedelic ballad "Pretty Ballerina." "The Saga of
Jesse Jane" is the hysterical story of a cross-dressing truck
driver that references bridal gowns, Judy Garland and Happy
Meals, and his Johnny Cash imitation kicks the strolling
country tune over the top. Cooper's humor is in top form, but
the words to "Steal That Car" are juvenile, and the rap-fringed
"Stand" is out of place.
