Review

Rhino's Mascara & Monsters presents a more concise alternative to 1999's mammoth, four-disc set The Life & Crimes of Alice Cooper. Like the box set, this album delivers digitally remastered versions of 22 of Cooper's best-known rock anthems, including "Eighteen," "School's Out," "Billion Dollar Babies," "Poison," and "Welcome to My Nightmare." Just thorough enough to please both casual fans and diehards, Mascara & Monsters: The Best of Alice Cooper is the most complete retrospective available on one disc. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Mascara and Monsters: The Best of Alice Cooper is a compilation album by rock singer, Alice Cooper, released by Warner Archives/Rhino in 2001 in the US only. Its worldwide companion release is The Definitive Alice Cooper compilation album, which has a slightly different tracklisting and different packaging.

This release is largely seen by fans as an updated version of Alice Cooper's 1974 compilation, Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits, as all 12 remixed tracks on that release are featured here in their original Album or Single versions. The compilation is not so much a full career "best of" but more of a Singles and B-sides collection from 1970 up to 1989, ending with his last big hit, "Poison".
The album cover features a mascara-eyed Cooper in the mid-70's looking at his monsterous alter-ego.
