I finally had a chance to look at the fan pack magazine over the weekend and it's a great read. Definitely recommended for all fans of Alice, especially those who own all of the albums since they talk about every single one Very Happy

The new album does only sound similar to the original when they use the music that was on the original! The new one totally lacks the eerie feelong of the original, and sounds more like a state fare (sp?) then a nightmare!

I like the album, but it would have felt even better without the "Welcome 2 my Nightmare" name! This should not have been a follow up album, just as soooooooooo many other lame cash-in sequels!

I didn't get it at first either, but the more I listened, the more it seemed to make sense. It's more of a journey through hell than just a nightmare though.

I usually poo-poo sequels as well, but this one makes good. Been a coupla weeks now and I'm still digging this album.

Quite a contrast. Most musicians when the convert to Christianity sing about God's love. Alice chooses to focus on hell (ever since The Last Temptation), but of course it was his only course of action. Who would accept a worship album from Alice Cooper? He'd be too religious for the secular market and too secular for the religious market. He said himself that if he went with a message of love, peace, and understanding that nobody would listen to him. His character fits perfectly in the prophet of doom mould.

Ypu know, I've been listening like crazy to this over the last days, and I agree with you!! It makes more sense now!! It's not a creepy nightmare, but still a cool concept. Not sure why they have an opening song that is not a part of the conceot though. The same is true also for the closer, I think.

Musically 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare' is GREAT though. It's a really fun album, with loads of diversity, but always easily recognizable as Alice! This is one of my favorite albums this year!

As it stands right now (depending on Iced Earth and Theocracy), this is my top album so far.

I finally snagged a Best Buy copy and I really enjoyed it. Definitely an array of styles but it all still sounds as Alice.
