Alice Cooper's second release of 1971, KILLER, helped solidify the band's position as rock's most notorious, shocking, violent, sleazy, and theatrical band of the day. Cut from the same musical cloth as its predecessor, LOVE IT TO DEATH, KILLER replaces the space-rock of their earliest releases with blaring hard rock. Also, the band successfully broadened its palette on KILLER by adding orchestrated sounds and synthesizers to the mix.

Several tracks would become Alice Cooper staples, such as the vicious "Desperado" (which uses acoustic guitar and a string section to great effect), and the anthemic leadoff track "Under My Wheels." Criticized and misconstrued at the time of the album's release, the eerie "Dead Babies" deals with child abuse--still disturbing stuff all these years later. One of Cooper's more progressive tunes, "Halo of Flies" is an eight-minute-plus highlight, consisting of several different sections, ditto the nearly-as-long closing title track. KILLER is classic Alice Cooper, and would go on to serve as an obvious touchstone for such future rockers as Kiss, White Zombie, and Marilyn Manson.

Alice Cooper: Alice Cooper (vocals); Michael Bruce (guitar, keyboards); Glen Buxton (guitar); Dennis Dunaway (bass instrument); Neal Smith (drums).Rolling Stone (1/6/72, p.68) - "...KILLER is without a doubt the best Alice Cooper album yet and one of the finest rock & roll recordings released in 1971..." -Lester Bangs

5 stars A killer rock album
Killer, produced by Bob Ezrin, is definitely the best Alice Cooper album and one of the greatest rock records ever made. The first four tracks Under My Wheels, Be My Lover, Halo of Flies and Desperado, side one of the original vinyl LP, make up as good a record side as any cut. Killer has sat at the top of my favourites chart for thirty five years and been listened to hundreds of times. I would like to have my all time favourite track Halo of Flies played when I depart this earth. If you love rock music and don’t have this album, buy it.

5 stars The King of Shock Rock
Alice Cooper is one of the few true originals in rock and roll. He single handedly invented a new genre of rock music, both lyrical and theatrical. This is a "killer" album with excellent vocals, guitar work, lyrics and production. Every song on this album is a winner. There really isn't much else I can say about Alice Cooper that hasn't been said already. If you are a fan of rock music, you need this album.

5 stars Laying The Path Of Gold
This album shook the music scene foundation, up-setting parents and churches in the nation, while bringing 'Shock Rock' into full bloom. This album was also when Alice Cooper was trying to decide on his character facial make-up. The music and songs of this album is "Fantastic". This album is a must for fans and researchers of Alice Cooper. This album has has a really cool calendarin it also.

5 stars classic alice
I once had the calendar from the original LP over my toilet during the Animal House days. Alice hanging from the noose. Hands down, it's the best of the original Cooper band. To really hear the guitar work of Glen Buxton & Mike Bruce, one should check out "Easy Action". Bob Ezrin used session guitarist more & more after this album. Supposedly, Rick Derringer plays on one song, but I can't hear it. Can't wait for the Gold Disc version.
