Nearly a decade in the making, this 4 CD package is everything an Alicephile could want. Demos, unreleased tracks, alternate takes, live material, and pre-Alice are all here. All the artist's eras are covered in depth. Cooper completists will marvel at the 1965-1967 tunes (pre-Alice groups The Spiders and The Nazz). | | This is followed by mandatory classics such as "Eighteen," "School's Out," "Billion Dollar Babies" and "Under My Wheels" (another version also appears with Axl, Slash and Izzy from Guns n' Roses). "I Love The Dead," and "Cold Ethyl" also flesh out the 70's era material. The glam metal explosion in the 80's helped resurge Alice's career, as "He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)" and "Poison" introduced Cooper to a new generation. Guest appearances by Ozzy Osbourne, Nicki Sixx, Rob Zombie and Chris Cornell round out the 90's. THE LIFE is a must for Cooper diehards, and is recommended for everyone else. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Entertainment Weekly (4/23/99, p.63)
- "...The first two discs are especially revelatory, tracing the band's metamorphosis from naive Yardbirds copyists to sicko psychedelicists to the definitely tough, tuneful hard-rock unity they became in the '70s. Hey, kids: Skip those Marilyn Manson tickets and invest in this instead." - Rating: BCMJ (5/17/99, p.29)
- "...thoroughly represents Alice's career from the early days to his most recent recordings....if you can't get a celebratory springtime headbang going listening to "School's Out," you're dangerously close to turning into your parents." |
