Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue

[timmyc]

What a comeback record. Absolutely stunning, and one of the most emotionally beautiful records I've ever heard because of the "new life" feel to it. William Duvall does an amazing job and the songwriting is superb. I don't have enough great things to say.

Got it the day it came out and I can't stop listening to it. Incredible record

It's in typical AIC style. Heavy and dark, yet has another side to it with beautiful melodies and tones.

 

[Frankie 86]

I agree, it's a killer album. It's Alice in Chains 2.0...

Am I deaf or does the "New Guy" William - Only sing lead in 1 song?

 

[Jono]

with all due respect to layne i think the new singer has a better range and sings in a style i prefer. so to me this new album is an improvement. not better than jar of flies though!

[Jono]

that dude singing for Alice Chains just doesn't fit... its like Fuel finding a cover band singer/ clone to fill those shoes... some guys you just can't do that with. Chains is one, the other band that comes to mind is Journey... how could anyone watch / buy a record of any those bands now and say they are watching that band ... can't do it, well maybe you can but I can't. That would be like Pantera replacing Phil with some dude that sound like him and calling it Pantera.. some bands are what they are because of who they are.

cheers

he really doesn't try to sound like Stayley. Yes, there are parts on the new album that sound like Alice in Chains. see if you can find audio of "last of my kind" you'll see what we means.

Having seen them live earlier this year and now loving the new record..... I didn't think they could've found a better fit. No-one is ever going to replace Layne but Duvall has a superb voice in a similar style to LS and give AIC a real future direction.

BTW - just got the new Metal Hammer and their review says the record is a 10/10!!

I am buying it tommorow, I wa lucky enough to catch two of their picks at sydneys soundwave.
Ive heard some tracks and Am very fucken impressed, He wasnt supposed to fill in layne, it was a new beggining for the band.
