Warthur
Dragontown is, for all intents and purposes, Brutal Planet part 2 - there's even regular lyrical references to ideas and characters established on that album. If you hated Brutal Planet and thought it preachy, condescending, and an unconvincing update of Cooper's sound, you won't like this one; if you loved Brutal Planet and thought it was a genius use of pop-industrial influences to bring Cooper's sound up to date, you'll love Dragontown.

And if, like me, you thought Brutal Planet was a decent enough album and certainly preferable to Cooper's pomp rock concept albums of the late 1970s or his glam metal style of the 1980s and 1990s, but at the same time hardly worthy of the groundbreaking masterpieces the original Alice Cooper band put out from Love It To Death to Billion Dollar Babies, you'll find Dragontown to be entertaining and ultimately disposable.
