It really bites that there won’t be anymore Alice in Chains albums. When they were good, they were really good. It’s still so utterly shocking that the same band that made Facelift made this a couple of years later. This thing is so mellow, but it’s really dark too. And of course the musicianship is great on here. AIC had serious balls for putting this out as their 2nd ‘album’. I know it’s really repetitive to keep going on and on about how great they were, but it’s really true, and it has nothing to do with Layne Staley just dying the other day. It’s really a shame that he couldn’t keep himself together as this EP proves how good he and the rest of the band are. And the great thing is that they kept getting better! Well, until the ‘Tripod’ album at least.
It’s nearly impossible to pick a ‘best’ track since all 4 of the non-hidden ones are fantastic. The guest singers (Ann Wilson on Brother and Chris Cornell on Right Turn) sound great on their respective tracks. So yeah, I can’t pick a best track here. Sue me. Do yourself a favor and go buy this.
