Warthur
Along with Killer, this is probably one of the best albums of Alice Cooper's trash glam rock proto-metal era. Unfinished Sweet is another Halo of Flies-style attempt at prog rock (this time around the unusual subject of a trip to the dentist), Elected is one of the funniest songs ever written about politics, and the title track includes an unlikely collaboration with Donovan (yes, the Donovan of A Gift From a Flower To A Garden and Yellow Mellow fame), but at the end of the day the album provides a sleeker and more refined iteration of the glam trash the band had peddled since Love It To Death - and that's all it needs to be.
