School's Out is the fifth studio album by American rock band Alice Cooper, released in June 1972.
[8] The desk photographed for the album cover is on display in the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas.
Ian Chapman has put forward a theory that it was a concept album about youth lost when leaving school.
[11] AllMusic reviewer Tim Sendra states that "half the joy derived from listening to School's Out is to marvel at how daringly the band took all the goodwill they had engendered to this point and blew up their just-barely-established template in fascinating, almost reckless ways.
The Jets" and "Public Animal #9" were the only other School's Out songs played on the supporting School's Out For Summer '72 tour, but neither became a permanent part of setlist and "Gutter Cat" was last performed in 2004 on the Eyes of Alice Cooper tour.
