I agree with this pretty much. The songs are slower tempo but just as heavy. Acid bubble definitely takes me back. DuVall isn't the best replacement but you'd be hard-pressed to find one that can sing so beautifully and with the angst Layne did. Layne was the perfect grunge vocalist.

Re: Alice in Chains (or Alice Without Layne) in the studio
I think DuVall is the "best" replacement, considering whom he is replacing. The great thing is, that he isn't trying to be another Layne and it works fine with the group.Comment

Re: Alice in Chains (or Alice Without Layne) in the studio
I would be all for this if the same big groups could pull it off, but sadly, Nirvana could never be Nirvana without Cobain, even though Grohl is a better musician than Cobain ever was. It was Cobain's raw ugly style that made it "Grunge". Also, Soundgarden wouldn't be the same, as Cornell's voice is too far gone.Comment

I like it as well. I told the wife if they tour I am going to see them again. They put on an awesome show last time they came around.Comment

"Hollow" has grown on me, but I'm sitting here listening to "Down in a Hole" from Unplugged and am once again amazed at just how incredibly good they were. (Almost) Zeppelin-ish with their range and consistency.
Even without Layne, I just feel fortunate to hear new Alice in Chains.Last edited by Brandon13; 02-28-2013, 04:44 AM.Comment

It may be as complete an album as they've ever released. I think "Breath on a Window" is currently my favorite, but everything is just so good on this album.Comment
