I respect Alice for trying to do new things and for putting out new music, especially when he has to know those albums aren't likely going to move a lot. I've never heard the Dragontown CD, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. I stopped paying attention--other than with a mild curiosity--after The Last Temptation, which I thought was okay, but nothing to write home about.
Dragon Town injected Alice with a huge dose of heavy metal sound which totally suited his voice. Along Came A Spider is a better album in my opinion and Welcome To My Nightmare 2 is so far off the mark it should have been recalled.........The most likely candidate for airplay was the song that I previously mentioned in my opinion.
