''Love It to Death'' is the third album by Music/AliceCooper, released in 1971. At this point Alice Cooper was a band led by the singer Vincent Furnier, who would later legally change his name to Alice Cooper. The album was initially released on Straight Records, a label run by Music/FrankZappa. The band here are at a nexus of rock subgenres. Some of the music has echoes of the psychedelic era, while it's also a glam rock album contemporary with releases by Music/MarcBolan, Music/DavidBowie, and the Music/NewYorkDolls. It is also, of course, a foundational influence on metal, especially theatrical artists like Music/{{Kiss}} and Music/MotleyCrue. Sales were driven by the hit single "I'm Eighteen".
