Alice in Chains ... Have they put the arguement to bed ?

[IDGAF]

New album out late September . Have given this tune a few listens so as to not go off half cocked ...

i reckon its the equal of anything they have done so far ... and after 14 years could not think of a better comeback in recent times .

FWIW Rolling Stone Mag gave the album 4 1/2 stars and are equally gushing

Cantrell has the right to go under whatever moniker he wants to IMHO and i think he has earned enough respect for the fans to respect that as well .

Its not like he was out there a year later canvassing new singers "supernova" style , i`ll reiterate ... 14 years .... How long did it take for AD/DC to sign on Johnson ?...

second single...

sounding good so far.

 

[Schism]

I dunno.Sounds like a very average Tool worship band.

 

[Kerrby]

They remind me too much of Tool.

Poor old Alice in Chains .

I went through a phase about 4 weeks ago were I bought all alice in chain's cd's found them all really good listens. Have not really gotten to the newer stuff yet but I have heard that the new guy tries a little too hard to sound like Layne Staley which kind of ruins some songs. I hear Elton John plays on a song on the album which will be interesting.

Not to sure what to make of Rolling Stone reviews anyway they seem to be too concerned with catering to whatever 'is hot right now' most of the time. I remember reading their 500 greatest albums list and a reasonable amount of albums such as many Led Zeppelin albums and Jane's Addictions 2nd album recieved unfavorable reviews when released but found their ways onto that list.

What the fudge are you smoking? Can I have some?. No need to continue this obsessive hatred of Tool either. We get it, you don't like Tool.

Looking forward to this album none the less.

 

[blackshadow]

Forget about the music, I'm still wondering what an arguement is.

They sound like Tool!

 

[Mofra]

I don't care about comparisons with previous material, other bands, etc. etc.

I do very much like the new single listening as objectively as possible.

Cantrells right to carry on under the AIC banner post the death of Llayne Staley .

Some say the band should have died with him ... i have always maintained it was Jerry`s band ... etc. etc.

Either a very poor troll or the dumbest post on the music board ever

either either

[Schism]

Never given RS reviews much cred myself to be honest ... but i would hardly say that AIC are "hot right now"

I wasn't saying that Alice In Chains were in that catagory just that that is what Rolling Stone seem to be intersted in most of the time.

Looking in View is a corker Check my Brain's not bad as well, looking forward to the new album. They were fantastic with DuVall when they toured earlier this year as well, he's got a great voice

You too Schism? I expected better from you. Maybe I need my ears cleaned out or something, but from my view, they have very little in common.

And Alice in Chains was formed years before Tool ftr.

Anyway both excellent bands in their own right.

 

[Zarrix]

Well if you think that, then you need to listen to more Tool and probably Alice in Chains.

We are referring to the Tool that is fronted by Maynard James Keenan no?

I call it as i hear it

I could be wrong,it's happened before.In 1998 if i recall correctly

Yeah AIC was always Jerry Cantrell's band. All of their good songs, he wrote.

Ive listened to the two bands back to back just to make sure I wasn't crazy. The verdict is, I ain't crazy. Tool and AiC have as much in common as Britney Spears and Opeth do.

Oh, you mean ARGUMENT!

That they're both pussy ?

 

[Zarrix]

That they're both awesome ?

Well there is that... Not Britney Spears of course though =D

Correct ... but don`t let the truth get in the way of idiocy
