About
By 1986, rock and pop music had completely changed since Cooper’s heyday in the '70s—and even since his last album, 1983’s wholly overlooked <i>DaDa</i>. Here, with the help of muscleman guitar-shredder and co-songwriter Kane Roberts and metal producer Beau Hill (Ratt), Cooper made an album timed perfectly for the era. “Give It Up,” “Teenage Frankenstein,” “Simple Disobedience,” “Crawlin’," and the self-prophesizing “Great American Success Story” are the shout-outs that really highlight. The synth-popping single “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” was tellingly (and symbolically) featured in the film <i> Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part Six</i>.
