Although it still contained elements of their two preceding albums' heavy metal garage rock, Alice Cooper's 1972 release SCHOOL'S OUT expanded on the more progressive material of '71s KILLER (i.e., its title track and "Halo of Flies"). The majority of the songs were more sophisticated than the group's past work, with greater use of dynamics. The band was working under tight a deadline to complete the album, but it's certainly no half-hearted rush job--it was their third powerful release in a row, and their first top 10 hit (peaking at #2 on the U.S. album charts).

The title song, a top ten single, is a great, fist-pumping rock & roll anthem. By merging one of the most identifiable and memorable guitar riffs ever (courtesy of the late Glen Buxton) with snide lyrics and a sing-along chorus, the song was a punk-metal masterpiece. While the album's remaining songs may not be as immediately familiar, many a gem can be found. "My Stars," "Luney Tune," "Alma Mater," and "Gutter Cat Vs. the Jets" are all underrated Cooper classics, the latter even containing snippets of musical themes from WEST SIDE STORY!

Live Recording

Recorded at the Record Plant, New York and at Alice Cooper Mansion, Connecticut.

Alice Cooper: Vincent "Alice Cooper" Furnier (vocals); Michael Bruce (guitar, keyboards); Glen Buxton (guitar); Dennis Dunaway (bass); Neal Smith (drums).

5 stars Alice Cooper Group is Great!
This album plus Love it to Death, Billion Dollar Babies, And Killer are the four best albums this group ever produced. If you are a fan, then you must have these four CD's.

5 stars ALICE@BAND/allthe way
If you like Alice and have only heard Schools Out off of this,then you need to buy this NOW! You might not think that this is the ALICE COOPER BAND. Dig this for what it is! Unbelievably far away from what you might think (in a great way) Most people I have turned on to this (LP) did not believe that,1st off the band was this awesome,and 2nd that Alice could actually sing like this. This is a Top of my list LP. Get this now and blow someones little mind AWAY. Do it NOW! GURUJOHNNY

3 stars Two underrated gems
While I agree that the camp factor is rather high here, I will always love the two seemingly forgotten gems, "Blue Turk" and "Public Animal #9". Blue Turk is a hauntingly beautiful little piece of macabre romance. The jazziness is unmatched in anything else the band ever produced. This tune underscores how Michael Bruce truly got shafted by the intense focus that Ezrin heaped on Alice, to the detriment of the other band members. When you sort through the song-writing credits of the band's early works, what stands out is that Bruce wrote many truly memorable songs. Public Animal should have rated right up there with "No More Mr. Nice Guy" as an anti-Establishment anthem, but somehow seemed buried under the more accessible riffs of "School's Out". Alice's voice is a dangerous growl here, full of menace and malice.

5 stars I'm Swimmin' in Blood
One of the Alice Cooper band's top 3 albums. It does seem slightly corny at times but it's all good anyway. All the performances are great but the bass guitar is especially great on this one. Dennis Dunaway rocks!
