These two guys really have the talent to use samples in a way that it sounds like real musicians.
But I recommend their 2nd album “Waltz for Koop”, it’s better than this one, although “Koop Islands” is also good release

A review of "Black Gives Way To Blue"

Black Gives Way To Blue

by Alice In Chains

It’s always the same: when singers quit or die especially those with a character like Cobain and here Staley it’s always hard to imagine how a band can release a new album with a new one. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
This Alice LP surely doesn’t work for me. It’s definetly not Duvalls fault because I saw him on the recent warmup tour here in Germany and thought that his voice is great (although different than Layne’s).
But what I’ve found here on this album is:

A third Jerry Cantrell Solo release
much too less William
not that kind of AIC-tunes that made me listen to them

William sure is a great one but he lacks Layne’s emotion which are totally different.
Dirt remains the best. Maybe the next release with William Duvall will bring us closer to AIC but not that one.
