Bleh. Mom bailed on going to the movies again, which was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to in this whole miserable medical waste of a week off, so we just visited my grandmother, watched YouTube for a while, and now I'm in a mood. Maybe some wrestling or video games or a bath or something will snap me out of it. I have options, laundry can wait until tomorrow.
Wikipedia Sez: School's Out is the fifth studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper, released in June 1972. Following on from the success of Killer, School's Out reached No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Canadian RPM 100 Top Albums chart, holding the top position for four weeks. The single "School's Out" reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 3 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles Chart and went to No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Hard Rock, Album Rock, Detroit Rock, Art Rock
Release Date: June 13th, 1972
Prior Familiarity: Low, aside from the title track, which, lol duh.
What I Did While Listening: Tried to motivate myself to get up and brush my teeth. Failed. I did it eventually, but oof, the lethargy was strong.
Verdict: Weird album! First of all, I don't think it's talked about enough that there's this classic rock anthem that is clearly written to appeal specifically to people from the ages of about ten to thirteen, and we all just accept that without question. And then it turns out that the rest of the album that follows retains the same sort of goofy, childish tone, but with songs that are also about sex and committing suicide in prison?? Also there's this one track that starts as some strange narrative that read to me as a lost number from Cats, but then it literally just turned into a cover of Jet Song for the last minute????? Which is then reprised in the album's big closing instrumental finale??????????? WEIRD ALBUM.
Favourite Song: Blue Turk
