By this point the original Alice Cooper Band was really having experienced back to back hit albums with Love it To Death and Killer. Also by this point, lead singer Vincent Furnier had fully been established in fan's minds as being Alice Cooper since most of the theatrics center around Alice the singer and he did most of the interviews. Alice's legend as a singer would continue to grow and he would go on in 1975 to a very successful solo career.
School's Out is actually a transitional album for the original band. On the School's Out release the band changed their sound slightly. The more garage hard rock sound of LITD and Killer was gone and the band went more commercial while maintaining its sound. Most of you know the massively hit single School's Out which was all over the radio in the United States and UK. But many overlook the entire album and don't realize what a great song things like Blue Turk and a few others are. This album is a little more diverse than the last two albums and Alice's vocals are spot on but this despite being quite good is weaker than Love It To Death, Killer, and the album which will follow it Billion Dollar Babies.
Still this is another very good album.

This is a good album but probably falls in the overrated category. There is some great stuff like Blue Turk but also some so-so songs on this one. The title track is of course a classic.

I think most people know the hard rock classic title track but this album marks a bit of a more commercial sound.

Alice's two biggest songs ever internationally are Poison (Trash album) and School's Out (School's Out album), Eighteen is up there too. But despite School's Out the song being huge, many don't know the other songs on the album. It went to Number 2 and is a good album but actually is not one of my favorite Alice albums.

밴드들 전성기때 앞뒤로 훌륭한 작품이 있어 중간에 낀 작품이 퀄리티보다 저평가되는 경우가 있긴하지만 이 앨범은 그냥 망작에 가까워요. 하지만 1번트랙은 역사에 남을 마스터피스ㅋ

이전 앨범들도 그렇지만 록큰롤 기반위에 여러가지 장르들이 총망라되어있는 앨범. 완전 초기 앨범을 제외하고는 앨범마다 들을 곡들이 많이 포진되어있다.

Sounding just a bit more thematic than previous albums (which will be a continuing trend with the AC band), School's Out still managed to produce the signature anthem "School's Out" along with some other interesting rock songs. It was nice to re-visit West Side Story with the boys.
