Description
Originally released in 1978, From The Inside is a concept album by Alice Cooper. His 11th studio album was inspired by his stay in a sanatorium to recover from his alcohol addiction. The singer who once boasted he drank more than a case of beer a day to keep ?t had failed to overcome his drinking problem through private treatment and therefore felt it necessary to undergo a hospital program of treatment.
The characters in the songs on the LP were all based on actual people the shock rocker met in the sanatorium, while the albums cover image is a close-up of Alice Coopers face printed on two doors that actually open up and lead into a hospital waiting room. The printed inner sleeve features an image of Cooper and the other inmates running out of the sanatorium once they were released.
The album shows Alice Cooper at his most vulnerable, most notably in the records hit single How You Gonna See Me Now (a power ballad even before the term was invented). If this album proves one thing, its that Alice Cooper is one of the most underrated songwriters out there. Guest musicians include Totos Steve Lukather and Cheap Tricks Rick Nielsen.
