This is very early, 4am-type Alice Cooper, and is still very much in the hippy-class of musical style. While the album retains the mood that Alice was building for his big time releases during the 70's, the songs don't hold the same kind of weight.
In the same way that the early Deep Purple albums are OK but not super, so is this from Alice. I can appreciate it for what it is, and from the time period it came from, and what it led to, but I'm not going to be ecstatic about putting it on my stereo at regular intervals to listen to it.
Still worth a listen to anyone who is interested in the way the Alice Cooper Band built its way up into what it became over the coming few years.
Rating : Historical significance is the best I can offer. 2/5.
