Description
Send us Fan MailLove It to Death is the third studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper, released on March 9, 1971. It was the band's first commercially successful album and the first album that consolidated the band's aggressive hard-rocking sound, instead of the psychedelic and experimental rock style of their first two albums. The album's best-known track, "I'm Eighteen", was released as a single to test the band's commercial viability before the album was recorded.The original album cover featured the singer Cooper posed with his thumb protruding so it appeared to be his penis; Warner Bros. soon replaced it with a censored version. Ezrin and the Coopers continued to work together for a string of hit albums until the band's breakup in 1974. The album has come to be seen as a foundational influence on hard rock, punk, and heavy metal; several tracks have become live Alice Cooper standards and are frequently covered by other bands.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_It_to_DeathSupport the showCheck out our post-punk band The Alliterates new song The House Came Crashing Down on the Vol 1: Let's Begin compilation from Shift-Ctrl-MusicCheck out our cover of Child's Christmas in Wales (OG by John Cale) on Chaos For Christmas from Rejected Youth RecordsSteve's WebsiteOur InstagramsDaveSteveThe AlliteratesBlueskyDaveSteveFacebookSteveThe AlliteratesLucid FugueBuy our theme songNon-Euclidean Pornography | Lucid Fugue (bandcamp.com)
