Free Music Review: I was hurt by this one
Hit: 3 Stars
The tracks in Live were culled from several concerts in the early 1990s. The track selection is strong, but the performances for the most part are lacking. The instrumentation is lost in the distortion, and Staley's voice isn't very strong on most of the tracks. If you must own a live Alice in Chains album, opt for the much sweeter Unplugged. Otherwise, stick with the studio stuff.Free Music Review: Brings some good memories
Hit: 3 Stars
The sound of this record is a bit too 'live' for my taste, although it does sounds cohesive. The songs were recorded at 5 or 6 different locations in the early 90s. Cantrell's guitar shows more than it does in the studio. My fav song is Dirt (labeled drunk and disorderly version)Free Music Review: Repackage Number Four
Hit: 2 Stars
What an incredible disappointment from one of the premier musical talents of the 90's. Alice in Chains as a creative unit has been dead for over five years, they should be allowed retire peacefully, but more importantly, with some semblance of respect. This continual re-issuing of "greatest hits", and "greatest hits in disguise" is only causing many to lose respect for a band that was once held in the highest regard. This mess originated with the release of the Unplugged album, then you have an official greatest hits album. These were followed by a laughable, poorly conceived box-set. This just in ... there is a right and a wrong way to do a box-set. Much to the chagrin of many fans, AIC chose the latter. Typically, one could assume that those willing to shed fifty in cabbage are only the most ardent of the AIC fanbase. These people are already going to have the entire AIC catalogue, and are seeking demos, live tracks, and unreleased songs. 3 CD's worth of material of this sort would have been great. What did we get? Just over a dozen tracks we didn't already own, over 3 dozen we did, and a heap of disappointment. This brings us to the fourth and latest greatest hits album - AIC LIVE. Six of the tracks on this CD can be found as B-sides on the "Heaven Beside You" import singles. Adding insult to injury, is that when Layne is introducing "Love, Hate, Love" - they edited out his profanity-laced dedication to the "special little girl". Also, the live version of "Rooster" was just included on the official greatest hits album (Nothing Safe). Many bootlegs thrash this corporate nonsense, spend the extra ten clams and pick one of those up instead. It's a shame the boys have let themselves get pushed down these roads. On paper, the idea of an AIC live album has immense potential. Unfortunately for many fans, the paper is far as that potential made it. -GLH
Free Music Review: Kind of a let down
Hit: 2 Stars
Alice in Chains soun nothing like they do on there albums. They just don't work live...
There take on "Man in The Box" is lacking power and feeling like the album track did. Rooster is sounds to noodleing to be great. There songs work better with acoustics when live.
Free Music Review: Not at all worth the money
Hit: 1 Stars
I used to be one of the biggest AIC-fans on earth, nearly worshipping Layne Staley and his kind of singing, but what AIC (or better Sean Simpson) has made them to release this album I will never understand. very bad quality (like my first Danzig-Bootleg...), no feeling and whatsoever. Seems to me that the guys were just in need for some money, and I, fool that I am, stepped in the trap. A very sad last album for a wonderful band.
