haha im listening to them right now :D

i love alice in chains. definitely one of my top 5 bands. nutshell is a great song. a ridiculously great song.


gotta go listen now...

Black Gives Way to Blue shouldn't have surprised me as much as it has. Alice in Chains were one of the most consistent bands around in their brief heyday (even the campiest parts of Facelift were still rather good), yes, but the pessimist inside me knows that fourteen years separate Alice in Chains and Black Gives Way to Blue. In that space of time, Alice in Chains' contemporaries in the Seattle grunge scene have either disbanded or fallen on hard times; last week Pearl Jam released their first worthwhile album in years, and in the case of Chris Cornell…well, you know...

I could never get into these guys.

Never liked this band, Recently gave Dirt a listen. Quite enjoyed it. I might listen a few more times before I decide to get it. I guess the next one to get after that would be their S/T.

S/T is good...but I seriously recommend you get their EP Jar of Flies. It is the best work they ever put together.

The one with Nutshell on it?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Chase misprinted liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies. :bowdown:

I never liked this band and all of a sudden I listened to Dirt and listened with a lyric site open and really liked what I heard..

agreed. funny how they were a much better band when they put all their electric gear away. i'd take the Unplugged over the S/T as well.

Is their S/T not up to scratch or something? Or is Jar of Flies and Unplugged just THAT good?

^ the latter. Jar of Flies is phenomenal, and the better songs from the S/T disc are on the Unplugged session.
