Overview Edit

Flush the Fashion is an album by Alice Cooper, released in 1980. Musically the album was a drastic change of style for Alice Cooper tending towards New Wave music influences such as Gary Numan. Though the lead single "Clones (We're All)" only touched the Billboard Top 40, the album was Cooper's most successful album in 4 years and is widely considered by fans as a hidden gem in his musical catalogue.

This record was produced by Roy Thomas Baker.

The album's ten tracks touch on themes such as the loss of identity, taking on other roles, and the usual Alice Cooper-esque dementia. This is evident even in the lyrics of Flush the Fashion's cover songs (for example the "Clones" single). Cooper also performs several "story" songs, presenting a series of intriguing vignettes in lieu of more traditional subject matter.

4 stars This one is hard to judge....
As an Alice Cooper fan I really like "Flush the Fashion", but then again I like almost every album, and every era of Alice Cooper. It seems like other reviewers also had a tough time either recommending this disk, or not. As a Cooper fan you already come to the party with a bias in favor the music. "Flush the Fashion" really launched the New Wave era for Cooper that also included "Special Forces" & "Zipper Catches Skin" (I don't include "Dada" in this era, simply because it doesn't fit into any …

Review number 43.Originally released in 1980,this was his follow-up to 'From The Inside'(see my review).Alice managed to snag The Car's producer Roy Thomas Baker to help out on this lp.When it first came out,I remember many fans not being sure how to take it.'Flush...' has some good tunes,like the Music Machine's 1966 cover of "Talk Talk",the hit "Clones(We're All)","Pain","Aspirin Damage" and the self-inspired "Model Citizen".Saw him on tour to support this effort and he like completely went 'n…
