I think I mentioned this on the other forum but lately I have been obsessed with AIC. I've been listening to them nonstop almost for about a week. I had never really appreciated them until I listened to the Unplugged CD all the way through. Great stuff. I think they are now #2 on my favorite bands list.

Oh, really? I thought you were already a pretty big fan, perhaps I'm mistaken?
Alice in Chains does in fact rule, a year or so ago I listened to them pretty much non-stop. I don't do that as much anymore but they're still definitely in my top 5. Unplugged is an amazing album, probably my favorite from them.

I agree with Unplugged being one of their best. It has a great song selection and just a great overall vibe to it. What do you think of their new song "Hollow"?

I must admit, I wasn't blown away by "Hollow" nor did I dislike it. It's better than most of the other new music out there but without Layne it just seems off to me. Still enjoyable although I don't think I will be buying the CD.

I kind of feel the same about Hollow. It's good but it's like the band is trying hard to be Alice In Chains and not making music that moves them. Maybe I'm way off and this is exactly what they want to do. I guess it's just still weird without Layne.

I totally agree. It is similar to old AIC and almost like they are trying to recreate their previous sound so it almost seems disingenuous. Like you, I could be off on this as well. For fans that weren't fans of Layne it may very well seem different to them but I can't seem to separate Layne from AIC.

Meh. I have a RAR of Dirt, Sap, and JoF somewhere. The vibe somewhat bothers me... May dig those back up.
