The Greatest Music
School's Out
by Alice Cooper
The 682nd greatest album of all time
School's Out is Alice Cooper's 1972 album that blends hard rock and glam with art rock and garage rock touches, showcasing the band's theatrical, shock-rock persona. The music pairs crunchy guitar riffs and piano-driven arrangements with melodic hooks and occasional choral or orchestral accents, notably the children's chorus on the title track, creating a mix of raw energy and showmanship. The record is significant for consolidating Alice Cooper's stage-theatre approach to rock and for featuring a lead song that became central to the group's public image.
