Personally, I loved Nightmare 2. Out of context things like having Kesha sing on it sound out of place but so did him doing a disco song lik "You Gotta Dance" from his "Goes To Hell" album, which is what I think that song is harking back to, both in the song and album.
One thing Alice has always made a point is being eclectic with his deeper cuts, especially since going solo. There was of course his new wave era in the early 80's that is in a similar vein of dance music, "Some Folks" is tap dancing based, "Last Man On Earth" is polka, "Crazy Little Child" is Dixieland jazz, the entire "Lace And Whiskey" album is big band, "Gutter Cats vs. The Jets" was based on West Side Story (I believe), and so on and so on.
I think "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" is the most Alice Cooper album the Coop could make when you look at it encompassing his entire career basically. That's just my take on it anyway.
