Flush the Fashion marked a deliberate shift away from Alice Cooper's established arena rock sound towards a leaner, new wave-inflected hard rock. It featured a more contemporary production and songwriting style for 1980.
- The album was produced by David Foster, known more for his pop and R&B productions, who brought a different sensibility to Cooper's sound.
- "Clones" was the lead single, reaching number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, Alice Cooper's highest-charting single since 1977's "You and Me."
- Flush the Fashion was the first Alice Cooper album not to feature guitarist Glen Buxton, a founding member of the original Alice Cooper band.
Alice Cooper is the stage persona of singer-songwriter Vincent Furnier, a veteran of the hard rock and shock rock scenes since the late 1960s. Flush the Fashion found him experimenting with a lighter, more new wave-influenced sound after a string of commercially successful arena rock albums.
