“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit a hard-rock colossus, one of the heaviest and bleakest albums to come out of the early ’90s Seattle scene.”
Rainier Fog
“Like AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and in a sense, New Order, Alice In Chains belong to a select group of acts who have the unwanted distinction of being a band whereupon every note of music made after a certain point in time can be deemed something of a triumph. Now 16 years away from the tragic death of singer and founding member Layne Staley, ‘Rainier Fog’ much like the band’s 2009 comeback ‘Black Giv”

“The older generation always complains that hard rockers are an angry, unstable bunch prone to violent, antisocial and frequently self-destructive behavior. In the case of most good loud bands, they’re right. There’s an inherent volatility that is key to the appeal of heavy rock.

“With such songs as "God Smack" and "Hate to Feel" crammed thick with junkie rage and Oedipal tension, Dirt (1992) is the musical equivalent of coughing blood — harrowing and real.

Nothing Safe: The Best of the Box
“This fall, it’s box-set time for the very unsummery Seattle band Alice in Chains.

The set opens with two previously unreleased songs: "Get Born Again," recorded last year, is a […]”
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
“They may be terrible paleontologists, but on The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, Alice in Chains prove that grunge fossils can still churn out slithery menace. It's the band's second LP since the 2002 death of singer Layne Staley, and though new vocalist William DuVall doesn't have his predecessor's talent for shaping Seattle sludge into molten-dread anthems, founder Jerry Cantrell's expressively torpid”
Alice In Chains
“This album is absolutely flawless, vocals are haunting and eerie, guitar is heavy, full, and slow, drums are groovy and great fills, bass-lines are badass. writing is some of my favourite ever. Again, Heaven Beside You, and Over Now are some of the best songs ever”
Facelift
“Top 5 grunge album for sure! Every track hits and its just so metal!!!!”
Dirt (Remastered)
“Favourite: Dirt/Angry Chair/Hate To Feel Least Favourite: Untitled”
Jar of Flies - EP
“Best ep ever and definitely has 2 of my Top 100 songs”
Alice In Chains
“Feels more like they were trying to see what they could get away with and less of them trying to make a good album. Its great nonetheless”
