    This album is a brilliant concept album from start to finish. It's his modern day "Welcome to My Nightmare -- but better. Check out the two songs that are not on the album -- they should have been included but are worth the extra $.99 cents. I have listened to Alice since Love it to Death and this album has it all!

    Delightfully twisted and one of his best albums since the 70s.

    Nobody writes more clever lyrics than 'Ol Black Eyes himself. This CD gets better and better each time I listen to it. Do yourself a favor and pick up this CD. You'll thank me for it later....trust me.

    Not as good as the early seventies Killer or School's Out but every time I listen to it, I like it more and more. About time he released another good concept album.

    An easy recommendation for fan club members and/or serial killers. Everyone else has two or three better Cooper concepts to devour first.

    Spider might not make you forget "Welcome to My Nightmare," but it's nevertheless a cheerfully twisted yarn delivered with a full-on dose of guitar rockers, the requisite ballad, a soaring anthem, a bit of Beck-flavored groovery, some sly humor and nods to Cooper's glam rock past.

    His gloomy tales are not silly, but neither are they especially threatening, despite Cooper's mildly fetishistic focus on the predatory instincts of a character who spends most of his time wallowing in self-assessments.
