4	''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, but was already using it as his stage name. 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".

42	* SanitySlippageSong: "Ballad of Dwight Fry", about a husband and father who has a nervous breakdown and gets institutionalized, is one of the standout examples.
43	* ShoutOut
44	** "Ballad of Dwight Fry" is named after a character actor especially noted for his roles in the Universal horror films of the 1930s.
45	** The line "Yes, he's the one they call the Fool" in "Long way to go" sounds like a shout-out to "The Fool on the Hill" from Music/TheBeatles' ''Music/MagicalMysteryTour''.
46	** John Lydon lipsynced "I'm Eighteen" at his audition to become lead singer for the Music/SexPistols.
47	* SiameseTwinSongs: From "Second Coming" to "Ballad of Dwight Fry" to "Sun Arise"
48	* VoodooZombie: "Black Juju" sounds like it's about raising zombies through voodoo or necromancy.
