 Pretty Good and Very Welcome September 4, 2008
While it's always nice to hear a new one from Alice, this record is inferior in every way to his last one, which was a kickin' great fun rock and roll record with a great band, great songs and a cool nod to Detroit. It's a drag that fans always seem to await a return to the "Welcome To My Nightmare" period. That album had a (lousy) hit, but was nowhere near as good as "Killer", "Love It To Death" or "Billion Dollar Babies". Still, Alice rocks, and I'm enjoying this new one - just not as much as the last one.
Alice!? September 2, 2008

Big Alice Cooper fan since 1972. Have collected every album since PRETTIES FOR YOU. Always excited for new Alice. Very glad I bought it and would replace this cd without hesitation, however, this has taken a little bit to grow on me. (this is a first) It is good. I love watching him live and I would love to see this show as well. Very happy to hear Eric Singer again. FYI I am just turning 56 years old. Alice Forever!!
 Cooper delivers a solid CD September 2, 2008
Music is always a personal decision about what you like or dislike. My husband didn't. He prefers Brutal Planet or Dragon Town. While I absolutely loved both of those albums, I still really enjoy Along Came A Spider. Of course, I liked Lace & Whiskey, so maybe that shows my range of Alice Cooper a little better. For the price I paid, If I only had 2 songs I liked it would have been worth it. Luckily, I enjoy it as a whole. Which as a concept style album is the way I believe it is meant to be enjoyed. If you are a true Cooper fan, you've probably purchased/listened to worse. In my opinion - Da Da comes to mind. You can always sample it or check the sites to hear it before you buy it, so you really have very little to lose. :)
 Consider Me Shocked September 2, 2008

So this is what it takes to shock your hardcore fans - a big, loud, glossy, flashy bunch of nothing...almost all of this is forgettable. Working with C-list journeymen totally got the best of him this go-round, my only consolation is that an all-new stage show has been touted for the new year. Trying to pass this off as a "Steven Chronicle" is just awful. I can't even believe I'm posting this, but it's all honest. "The One That Got Away" sort of works on its own as black comedy, but...whatever. If you didn't like Brutal Planet/Dragontown, this one sounds like chaff left off of those. Thumbs up for an ambitious sound mix and packaging, but alas...
Along Came A Spider August 31, 2008
This is an amazing album! Alice out did himself again. It's a great story album, just like Welcome To My Nightmare and The Last Temptation. I would actually consider it part 3 of those other two. Once again, Alice has proven his genious and originality. I would recommend this album to anyone.
Now, amazon on the other had, leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered the special edition vinyl with this too and they ruined it in the mail. I filed for a replacement and they said they were out of stock. But if I returned it, they would refund my money. I think they should have replaced the damaged item or refunded my money and let me keep the damaged item. But, you know how it goes...
