The time that Alice Cooper spent with record label MCA was once of recovering lost ground and reclaiming his position as King of Shock Rock.He recorded two albums(CONSTRICTOR,RAISE YOUR FIST AND YELL)and staged two killer tours to support them;sounding heavier than any album since WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE.PRINCE OF DARKNESS is an excellent summation of this period.Guitarist muscleman Kane Roberts was an excellent foil for Alice during the MCA years;the proof of this can be heard on tracks like FREEDOM, PRINCE OF DARKNESS,and TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN.I have only two gripes with this album:1)electro-drums on some of the tracks;and 2)the abscence of such tracks as NOT THAT KINDA LOVE,CHOP CHOP CHOP/GAIL,THE GREAT AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY,and GIVE THE RADIO BACK.All in all,a good album if you want to start of with a general overview of the "comeback" years.

Alice's performance is nothing short of powerful--it's seriously sick rock at its best. Alice manages to imprint his nightmarish signature mark in an album that is clearly underrated. He absolutely ROCKS in this album!

If you want to just let loose and jam, this is a good album to get. The songs on this album are basically the best songs from his two M.C.A. albums,( constrictor,and raise your fist and yell). No ballads here,(isn't that great).

This album is fairly good and a worthwhile buy. It has several good songs and is definitely worth this online price.

This album combines the Raise Your Fist and Constrictor albums of the mid to late 80's. I'd recomend you buy those 2 albums on there own rather then this rip-off. I call it a rip off because I know for a fact that all the tracks from both Raise Your Fist and Constrictor fit onto the same 80 minute CD and still have room left for a bonus track or 2!

So instead of picking out a random few off each album, they should have combined the two complete albums and put them on this and maybe included "Hard Rock Summer in the USA", "Be Crool To Your Skool" or "Under My Wheels (Feat. Guns N Roses), "I got a line or you" or even one of the alternate versions of "He's back"
