Jul 18, 2025Throughout, this is the sound of the Alice Cooper band playing with revitalised vigour and tangibly loving soul, riven with the unexpected “left turns” Alice credits to Dunaway and Smith. .... The Alice Cooper band and Ezrin have produced 2025’s most faith-restoring rock’n’roll set, that does their fallen comrade proud. [Aug 2025, p.100]

Jul 24, 202550 years later, these demented rock & roll outsiders pick right back up as if no time had passed at all, and they have a blast doing it.

Sep 18, 2025Today, with so many artists (and AI platforms!) keen on copying old production motifs, it’s the immediacy of the recording—and the heartbeat underneath—that stand out the most here.

Aug 26, 2025The Revenge of Alice Cooper is filled with engaging guitar and blistering solos. Alice sounds in good form. Most of these songs fit in perfectly with his larger catalog.

UncutJul 18, 2025The result is a fun mix of over-the-top hard rock, self-reflection and self-aggrandisation. [Aug 2025, p.29]

Jul 25, 2025Ultimately, this isn’t a classic Alice Cooper record by any means; it has a few good songs here and there, but nothing canonical. But, if the point is to document a bunch of old friends getting together and doing the thing that gave their lives meaning, and sounding like they’re having a blast, then it’s mission accomplished.
