Brutal Planet is the fourteenth solo studio album by American rock musician Alice Cooper, released in 2000.
Lyrically, Brutal Planet deals with themes of dark "social fiction", including domestic violence ("Take It Like a Woman"), prejudice ("Blow Me a Kiss"), psychopathic behavior ("It's the Little Things"), war ("Pick Up the Bones"), depression, suicide ("Sanctuary"), Neo-Nazism and school shootings ("Wicked Young Man").
Doug Van Pelt, editor of the alternative Christian music-oriented HM Magazine, found that the lyrics communicated biblical morals "in a very powerful way".
[4] Van Pelt stated further that the final argument is provided in the title track, which condemns the systems of judgment that the world uses.
[4] All tracks are written by Alice Cooper and Bob Marlette except where noted
