Love It to Death is a 1971 album by Alice Cooper. Hits include "Ballad of Dwight Fry", "Is it My Body", and one of Cooper's trademark songs, "I'm Eighteen". This was the album that brought the Alice Cooper band to the mainstream. Much credit is generally given to producer Bob Ezrin, cleaning up the band's sound with fresh ideas and making it more accessible, most notably the track, 'I'm Eighteen'. It originally was a much longer song, and more 'psychedelic' (like the band's first 2 album releases, full of longer songs). The album cover caused much controversy at the time of its release, leading Warner Brothers to censor it (four different versions of the front cover exist on LP). Alice Cooper's middle finger is clearly airbrushed out on censored versions. The CD release, which hasn't been remastered as of yet, uses the most common LP picture for the booklet cover (see photo). In 2003, the album was ranked number 460 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Both "Second Coming" and "Ballad of Dwight Fry" were covered by punk rock band The Melvins for their album Lysol.
