3 out of 5 stars Ahh,,,Alice, you gotta love him.......2007-06-22

As lyrically childish as we'd expect of Alice Cooper and as brazenly in your face as we'd hope him to be. Great band!!! Get this just to hear Kane Roberts tear it up on guitar. Wow!

3 out of 5 stars Worth Owning For The Last 3 Songs.......2006-12-15

Cooper continues down the 80's hair metal path with Kane Roberts and Kip Winger as his cohorts. To me this is a step down from "Constrictor" and 2/3rds of the album is very average anathematic hair metal. There are a few reasons to own the album however. The opening track "Freedom" was Alice's answer to Tipper Gore's PMRC. It is a bit on the corny rah rah side, but not a bad song. "Prince Of Darkness" is from the movie of the same name in which Cooper had a small acting role. The really good stuff on this album though is the last 3 songs which run together as a trilogy. "Chop Chop Chop", "Gail" and "Roses On White Lace" return to Cooper's horror music roots. I have heard that this is supposed to be about Jack The Ripper which would fit the lyrics. Either way it is a fine group of tunes and ends the album on a high note. The rest of the album does not do a lot for me, but if you are a fan of 80's metal anthems with fist pumping choruses this album might be for you.

5 out of 5 stars The Forgotten Cooper Classic.......2006-07-29

The 1970's were obviously the peak time for Alice Cooper with such classics as Love It To Death, Killer, and Welcome to Nightmare. However, radio changed and began to play less of Cooper's new music leading people to think he was a has been or that anything after Goes to Hell lacked the same quality as the early work. Obviously that was untrue because Alice has made several great albums since (especially in recent years)

Even for those that will now admit 1994's The Last Temptation or 2000's Brutal Planet ranks right up there with his best material, seem to frown on a lot of his 80's work. Granted the material was not as consistent and there were a couple of clunkers such as Zipper Catches Skin. However, Alice made two truly memorable if overlooked albums in the 80's that are essential to your collection. They are DADA and the album I am reviewing Raise Your Fist and Yell.

After a hiatus, Alice returned in 1986 with a fair, but not spectactular 80's metal sounding album called Constrictor. However, he won some of his fans back with his still awesome live show. The following year Alice realized his career was back on the rise and decided to follow up with a slightly heavier, scarier album called Raise Your Fist and Yell. While the title of the album, I will admit is slightly cheesy, the songs on this album are simply amazing.

This is a bloody record even by Alice standards but check out the stellar music on this album. "Freedom" should have been a big hit for Alice and such tracks as his Jack the Ripper trilogy are incredible. In other words, this contains the scary sound old school Alice fans had been looking for for years but is also very 80's sounding. Any fan of the 80's that liked a slightly polished but heavier than say Bon Jovi type of album needs to own this. It blows anything that the other shock rockers did in this decade and that includes WASP (who had a great debut album) and underrated Lizzy Borden.

Take a shot on this one and you will regret having overlooked it in the 80's.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing........2006-07-23

This is one of Alice Coopers most highly underated albums, and thats a shame really because it has amazing hits all through the cd. It has the opening song Freedom which is amazing, Lock me Up which is another good song equal to freedom, Give the Radio back, an interesting track, Step on you a track about just being mad, Not that kind of Love, a rather humorous with Alice's bad boy touch added to it, the Religious song Prince of Darkness with an amazing guitar solo, Time to Kill, and a 3 story song about Alice being Jack the Ripper.

The inside of the album has good album art, and lyrics. This album has amazing guitar solos all the way through it.... But don't buy this one on your own buy Constrictor with it, it has the same style songs, and costs just as much, and all together it's not even 20 bucks, so you get 2 rare cd's with amazing songs, for a price equal to 1 regular cd.

5 out of 5 stars Best Alice Cooper Album Ever Bar None.......2005-10-09

In my opinion this is by far the best Alice Cooper album ever bar none, even if you are not a fan of this album you still have to admit it's the best musicly. Kane Robert's is an amazing guitar player who is extremely underated too.

Alot of fans will say their favorate Alice album's are the older clasics because thats what got his name out there in the first place and had alot of the hits, some realy love the early 80's stuff (also known by some as the weird years) but I still think this one is the best. I love the lyrics especialy in The Gail Trilogy of Chop,Chop,Chop, Gail and of course my favorate Roses On White Lace. I mean how can you go wrong with lyrics like "

THEY'RE NEVER GONNA FIND YOUR FACE
IT'S HIDDEN AWAY
I FOUND A VERY SPECIAL PLACE WHERE YOU USED TO PLAY "

I think Alice's voice and the Alice charactor in general have always been at it's best when he is doing heavy stuff or slow and creppy stuff. Thats probably why my two favorate Alice albums are Raise Your Fist And Yell and Welcome To My Nightmare.

3 out of 5 stars Metal for the love of metal.......2006-06-15

And there is nothing wrong with that.

This album is full of solid riffing, solid songs and quality guest musicians. A veritable smorgasbord or players and vocalists help out and everyones current and former bands are mentioned on the fold out sleeve which is a nice touch.

One thing to remember with this album - Jack Frost really means it. After so long with musos who couldn't really play infesting so much of the hard music genres (and they didn't care if you noticed or not) and after what feels like ages where actual talent and attempting to do something seriously was looked down upon Jack deserves some credit. He really tries hard and he wants to be good and he loves metal and is happy to share the limelight on his discs with others, not just have his guitar way over and above everyone elses in the mix. And the guy can churn out a meaty riff at the drop of a guitar pick.

But that doesn't mean it's all good news.

The problems here are the multiple singers. In some ways this is a cool thing, but at times some listeners might find it annoying. The tunes themselves seem to always be missing that 'X factor' - as Maiden might say. Personally I'd recommend something from Seven Witches for the newcomer to listen to if your interesting in exploring some Jack Frost product.

Having said that, there is a sense of fun in this project which is no mean feat given the various players involved. And add to this an interesting cover of Kansas' Fight Fire with Fire and it's clear Jack is happy to show some of his influences. And 'The Man I Am' is a nice, mellow tune and a nice break for the listener.

Ultimately another solid outing for Jack Frost. This would probably suit fans of Seven Witches, perhaps also Savatage and Kamelot fans.

3 out of 5 stars It's a toss up.......2004-05-22

What's good about it?

"Stay" starts off with a commanding opening riff. The vocals are rough, raw, and reminiscent of Dee Snider during his Widowmaker days. There are a few nu-metal elements thrown in as well. Quick driving rhythms and a hollow drumbeat (think Metallica's latest) are featured on "The Chase." Jack Frost proves that he's not just a shredder, but a blues enthusiast as well. There's some eighties throwback riffing on "Brotherhood of Lies." You're sure to make comparison to early Savatage and Ronnie James Dio. The strongest track, "The Man I Am" is stripped down to a more acoustic vibe. The vocals are more melodic and compliment the track well. In case you forget, Frost is an ax-man, he reminds you on "Nippin' at Your Ear." The gang does a bang-up job on the Kansas classic, "Fight Fire with Fire." It's heavier, yet still tuneful.

Anything bad?

They don't really make it clear who's doing what (at least on the promo disc). Disc is 36-minutes long. Vocals could be stronger. Their cover of Ratt's "Lack of Communication" is a disaster. When everyone in the studio chimes in on the repetitive 'lack of...communication...lack of,' it really kills it. The version just goes to show you how unique a vocalist Stephen Pearcy is.

Bottom Line

I'm really torn with this one. Jack has some great riffs, licks, and solos, plus the rhythms are really catchy. However, the vocals could be a little smoother (and on key in some instances). It still rocks if that's not important to you.

    4 out of 5 stars Alice Goes Metal!.......2001-01-06

    Although and excellent follow up to Constrictor, most of you finding this album will be doing so recently. If Trash or Brutal Planet are your first Cooper discs then I highly reccoment Raise Your Fist. A razor sharp horror-metal classic Alice lets loose with anger and fury found on no other album. Recorded in 1987 RYF was and still is the definitive metal album, chock full of great guitar riffs and vocals that fit the music perfectly. If you are new to the Cooper catalogue, this album, like most sounds nothing like the majority of the rest. Each seems to be standing on it's own and as much as I hate to pidgeonhole an artist, from Freedom to Roses... this CD is an assault on the senses and will leave you exhausted by the end. Then you'll hit Play. As I have written on my Brutal Planet review Billion $ Babies, Schhol's Out and From the Inside this 'ain't.
