| Alice Cooper - Dragontown Classification: Pop Band: Alice Cooper Tracks: - Triggerman - Deeper - Dragontown - Sex, Death and Money - Fantasy Man - Somewhere in the Jungle - Disgraceland - Sister Sara - Every Woman Has a Name - I Just Wanna Be God - It's Much Too Late - Sentinel - Clowns Will Eat Me - Go to Hell [Live] - Ballad of Dwight Fry [Live] - Brutal Planet [Remix] - Gimme [CD-Rom Track] [Enhanced Video] - It's the Little Things [CD-Rom Track] [Enhanced Video] Solid Follow-up I got this and Brutal Planet recently. I'm not sure which I like better. Dragontown works far better as a whole and conceptually, but I think Brutal Planet has more standout songs. In any event, this is a real solid album, worth picking up if you liked Brutal Planet at all. The style is not that completely similar. I want to say it's a bit less commercial and accessible, still hooky, but not as obvious. It's darker, feels a bit like a horror movie. Good solos too. The production is a bit better then brutal planet. Not as sterile sounding, and the drums fit in better, but could still be improved. The only reason I'd say you'd like it if you like BP is because it's a heavier, less commercial Alice. I really don't have a lot else to say about it, just that you shouldn't expect a masterpiece, but a solid effort. Best since The Last Temptation "Dragontown" is Alice's best album since 1994's "The Last Temptation". This edition comes with (Can't Sleep) "Clowns Will Eat Me" which was only previously available on the Japanese import of the "Brutal Planet" album. The song "Brutal Planet" is remixed on the bonus CD and it is not all that interesting of a remix and probably should not haven been done. It also features two Live tracks "Got to Hell" and "Ballad of Dwight Fry" which isn't all that thrilling either since Live versions of these tracks were previously available on Various imports. A common complaint about Alice Cooper concerts is that you know what songs you are going to hear because he adds very little recent material in his set lists (material from "Constrictor" to "Dragontown"). If he added a couple Live tracks of recent material that haven't been available before, I would've given it Five stars "Dragontown" rocks, but the bonus CD is only worth buying for "Clowns" and if you have the Japanese import of "Brutal Planet", don't bother picking this CD up. My four star rating is based on the "Dragontown" album itself, not this bonus CD. Stick with the original No need to waste money on this special edition. If you already have Dragontown, save your money. "Clowns will eat me" is a good song but not worth $15. The "Brutal Planet" remix is garbage. Stick with the original.
