Title: An Overlooked Classic
Review: I recently bought this album to complete my collection of Alice in Chains albums. I must say this is my favorite AIC album by far. I would classify the album as a hard rock/metal sound and should not be lumped together with the work of Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam or even AIC's later work. The songs are performed with a lot of raw emotion and creativity and there is a large amount of diversity of songs: all out metal 'We Die Young' to the jazzy 'Sea of Sorrow' and the upbeat 'Sunshine' and 'I Know Something (Bout You), this contrasts to 'Dirt' which seems to be very dense and dark. I truely don't feel there is any filler songs on the album. Finally, the sound quality of early/mid-90s CDs are absolutely supurb as they haven't been over-compressed yet. Thus, if you can get the 1990 vintage CD, the audio quality is sublime.If you enjoy Alice In Chains or early 90s rock, I would highly recommend this album.
Is the review positive or negative?
