JT: What can we expect from the new album?

AC: The idea of the album was, [producer] Bob Ezrin and I were going to start working on another album, actually, and he mentioned that it was the 35th anniversary of Welcome to My Nightmare. And we started thinking, what would Alice’s nightmare be 35 years later? [The original was] what’s under the bed, what’s in the closet at night, and you’re pretty sure your toys come to life at night, you know? So it was sort of the classic nightmare. This new nightmare, [Alice] would of course hate technology, he would hate disco with a passion, still…that would be a nightmare to him. So we started writing songs, and we ended up with 17 songs working with Bob Ezrin—I bring out the worst in him, and he brings out the worst in me. And so it ends up being one of the five best albums I’ve ever done.

And you know, we had access to a lot of great musicians in Nashville…a great bunch of guys who love playing rock and roll, because that’s their first love, you know? They knew all my old songs. So the bed tracks were basically studio guys on that, and all the deluxe stuff was guys like [veteran guitarist] Steve Hunter. So the idea was just to create a new nightmare, and I hadn’t worked with Bob in such a long time. I had forgotten how much fun it was to write with him—he’s (laughs) the same type of writer that I am; we write the punchline first and then write the song around the punchline.
