New Alice in Chains "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here"

[jhale667]

Downloaded this the day it came out (physical disc showed up a couple of days ago) and it's really growing on me. Killer riffs, odd, "buggy" sounding harmonies throughout, and of course dinosaur sounds on the title track. IMO they're two-for-two on post-Layne Stayley releases. I liked "Black Gives Way to Blue" but I think I like this one better. Standout tracks so far are "Hollow", "Stone" "Phantom Limb" and "Hung on a Hook".

Got this spooled up with the new Megadeth and
Satriani for a road trip in the morning.

I'm digging it. I actually prefer 'Black Gives Way To Blue' because it's more 'Alice' (introspective/ emotional), but this new is very, very good too.....

I waited awhile to buy the first album after Layne but they are pretty damned good still. The new singer has pulled off a pretty dificult thing and while he will never be Layne it does work for AIC, downloaded the new album yesterday and I am digging it, hats off to AIC for doing what I thought wasnt possible.

That said thank God for the Foo Fighters, I cant imagine Nirvana trying to replace Cobain and Dave Grohl deserves a killer band to play in. I know alot of the folks here hate Nirvana but I was in high school when I heard Bleach and when Nevermind came out it was all over, I was hooked and listen to all their albums to this day.

I kind of have a vested interest in wanting them to succeed because Mike Inez is a friend and former co-worker, but I too thought Layne was irreplaceable. Duvall does a good job, though - and I like the direction they're going in.

'In Utero' has always been my favourite Nirvana album. To these ears it is infinitely superior to 'Nevermind'

100% agree, I have a soft spot for the Unplugged album/DVD also, they really kicked some ass on it in my opinion.

I still like "Bleach" better myself.

Recorded with a budget of $600, and sounds fucking great.

Nevermind would have been better had it been recorded that way, but as we know, a certain degree of corporate furniture polish comes part in parcel with the record deal.

I think that once you get past the singles on 'Nevermind' there is quite a bit of filler. The sheer power of 'Bleach' meant that you could look past the cracks.....

Yeah I'm lovin this record right now. The first 2 songs are excellent and then there's a few more good ones. Like Dirt, some of the album tracks are very strong. Phantom Limb is just brutal.

It's a fuckin great record.

[binnie]

Phantom Limb is a killer title....

I like 'em all...

Almost everything Cobain did was somewhat interesting even though he was a pretty crappy guitar player...
