Easy Action is a 1970 album by Alice Cooper. The title comes from a line from the musical film West Side Story, which was one of the band's favorite films.
Drummer Neal Smith later said of the record producer David Briggs:
"David hated our music and us. I recall the term that he used, referring to our music, was "Psychedelic Shit". I think Easy Action sounded too dry, more like a TV or radio commercial and he did not help with song arrangement or positive input in any way." [1]
