Free Music Review: Buy it for the sleepers
Hit: 5 Stars

While "I Stay Away", "No Excuses", and "Don't Follow" are great songs that got lots of air-play, I really purchased this disc for "Nutshell" and "Rotten Apples." These are two amazing, albeit depressing, songs. The instrumental and vocal sound on these is incredible. This disc is a must-have for anyone who appreciates AIC.

Jar of Flies Poster

While not their most definitive album (that honor belongs to 1992's Dirt), Jar of Flies represents an important step in Alice in Chains' recording career. Witness "I Stay Away," which is made up of equal portions of hummable guitar riffs and the spookier, scarier, more grinding elements that most fans associate with Alice in Chains. This song most clearly delineates the dichotomy that was a highlight of the band's sound--Jerry Cantrell's listenable tunes and often gorgeous arrangements (just listen to what he does with "Whale & Wasp"!) and Layne Staley's growling vocals, which are just the teeniest bit flat. The collection as a whole, brief as it is, has an elegance that's unusual for metal. --Genevieve Williams
