Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

Lol. Nah fam

 

[CiG]

going full sludge.

When did that ever happen?

When did that ever happen?

I mean as far as Alice in Chains ever got. Would way rather listen to "Would" or "No Excuses" than "Dam that River". Mostly because AIC just aren't great heavy riff writers for the most part.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Favorite AiC song? A bit tough, but I love "Rain When I Die".

 

[HamburgerBoy]

A controversial top ~5 or so pick: Nothin' Song.

 

[The Batlord]

Controversial album pick: Jar of Flies was the best thing AIC ever did.

 

[Vilden]

Dirt or Would? Are my favorites.

I prefer Alice In Chains ever so slightly, but that EP comes a close second for me personally.

I think a lot of people consider Jar of Flies to be their best.

The S/T is inconsistent, but the run of the last three tracks is excellent. Frogs and Over Now are pretty much 10/10 songs as well.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I'd rank their discography as such:

Dirt
Alice in Chains
Jar of Flies
Facelift
Black Gives Way to Blue
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
Sap

Amazingly consistent band.

 

[Baroque]

Amazingly consistent band.

consistently garbage but that's imo

 

[Sirjack]

yeah shit, l can easily listen to them but...

 

[Krow]

AiC is a fantastic band.

All this talk about Grunge has me thinking about TAD, especially now that all their albums saw recent reissue.



I'm just your pork chop baby, that's all I'll ever be.

+ Dirt

The albums without Layne are trash

 

[CiG]

I fucking love Tad.

8-Way Santa master race.

What are you guys opinion on Soundgarden? I like them just as much as AIC but that may be just as much nostalgia talking. I guess the metal crowd is more accepting of AIC uusually.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Badmotorfinger is fucking awesome and Louder Than Love is really good too, if a bit more fillery.

I'm with you there.

Badmotorfinger and Superunknown are fantastic albums. Earlier stuff is a bit amateur and Down on the Upside is just bland and uninspired.

For grunge it's like:

Nirvana > Soundgarden = Stone Temple Pilots > ... > AIC
