Brutal Planet is the 21st studio album by Alice Cooper, released in 2000.
The album has an industrial metal style not found on previous Alice Cooper albums. Lyrically, it is dark "social fiction," but nevertheless deals with real-life themes such as domestic violence ("Take It Like A Woman") or school shootings ("Blow Me A Kiss"). It has been erronously reported that this album is the second in a trilogy; however, Cooper has stated it has no relation to his previous work The Last Temptation. It is followed by a sequel, Dragontown, described by Cooper as the worst town on the Brutal Planet.
