Maybe you could try reading the lyrics along with the songs you're not real familiar with? Might help.

Facelift is criminally underrated around here.

Also I DESPISE Chris Cornell's voice so when he popped up on Right Away I was like O_O NO!

He sang "It's hard to believe somebody tricked you" which was exactly how I felt right then with sudden Chris Cornell on my AIC album

Did any of you guys hear the new Jerry Cantrell solo track from John Wick 2?



Pretty much indistinguishable from new Alice in Chains, still awesome as fuck. Bring on Degradation Trip Vol. 5.

I finished listening to all the albums but I need a couple more times before I can digest it.

The last one was kind of cool, I didn't take in too much new but I really like Sludge Factory, Heaven Beside You, and Over Now. Of course I knew the two latter ones, and Sludge Factory I knew only because it was one of the only songs I DIDN'T know from their unplugged. So I already had a foothold, but those songs are really good. I'm not sure I know enough yet to decide a favorite, but Dirt certainly has the most memorable tracks...again biased since I knew like 6 of them going in. But Dirt and Dam that River and Rain When I Die stuck with me like a lot of the hits did. Sickman too though I didn't love it but I remember how it went.

Dirt has Angry Chair too. That's the song that got me into them.

The Unplugged performance of Sludge Factory is so good. The album version isn't as good but that song really stood out to me in Unplugged.

Yeah, i figure they will eventually. Im not sure if they have a lot of stuff left, but at least they can reissue the box they released a while ago.

I love that box.
