Dragontown

Dragontown is the fifteenth solo album by American rock musician Alice Cooper. It was released in 2001 on Spitfire Records. Like Brutal Planet, the album displays a heavier metal style than many of his previous releases. It peaked on Billboard's "Top Independent Albums" Chart at #12, and the Billboard 200 at #197, his lowest album chart performance since 1983’s DaDa, which did not chart at all.

This is the first Alice Cooper studio album to contain no singles. Although Cooper toured the album with his Descent into Dragontown tour in 2001 and 2002, only four Dragontown songs – "Sex, Death and Money", "Fantasy Man", "Every Woman Has a Name", and "Triggerman" – were performed at all during this supporting tour, with only "Sex, Death and Money" and "Fantasy Man" remaining in the setlist to the end. With the exception of five performances of "Disgraceland" in July 2003 during the Bare Bones Tour, nothing from Dragontown has ever been performed live subsequent to the end of the album's supporting tour.
