A defining of genre arose with the release of Alice in Chains first record Facelift. Many bands try to duplicate them and none could. They're one of those bands that just have it. I'll always believe in them as one of the most underrated bands even though they can sell a million each album. They had the best duet of all time in Cantrell and Staley and they wrote better music than anyone in the entire decade overall. They were incorrectly labeled grunge which you're an idiot to believe that because that's like saying Led Zeppelin is a heavy metal band. My point is many people only know "Man in the Box", if they gave a chance and listened to any other track on the album they would know that this band is probably a lot better than you thought. I've been listening to them my whole life, they don't write fillers they write all possible number one singles. That lineup Kinney-Cantrell-Inez/Starr with Staley is mindblowing. Layne Staley deserves to be one of the most recognized legendary deceased rock stars such as John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and Kurt Cobain. In my opinion he influenced me more than all those combined and many more. I know all of us Alice fans miss you and think about you every time one of your songs is on the radio or stereo.This album kicks ass and if you think Alice in Chains is stopping anytime soon your sadly mistaken because there new frontman William Duvall is a more than worthy replacement. Layne's voice lives on...Songs to check "Sea of Sorrow", "We Die Young" and "It Ain't Like That".
