This album changed my life. It Must have 15 years since i first heard it and it started a huge life-long Alice Cooper obsession for me. Sometimes his songs just feel like timeless magic to me. This album (his third) is where Alice breaks away from his psychadelic meanderings and explodes upon the mainstream with 9 classic catchy hard rock anthems. I guess Alice Cooper says it best in the opening song...

"I need everything the world owes me, I tell it to myself and i agree.
I'm caught in a dream, so what? You don't know what I'm going through."

Please do yourself a favor and listen to this album until you love it (to death).
