The album’s ten tracks touch on themes such as the loss of identity, taking on other roles, and the usual Alice Cooper-Esque dementia.
This is evident even in the lyrics of Flush the Fashion’s cover songs (for example the “Clones” single).
Cooper also performs several “story” songs, presenting a series of intriguing vignettes in lieu of more traditional subject matter.
By the time of Flush the Fashion, after a much-publicized stint in a sanitarium in 1977 for alcoholism and subsequent sobriety, Cooper had secretly developed a heavy addiction to cocaine, although, unlike his following three albums Cooper has some recollection – if not perfect – of making Flush the Fashion.
