Free Music Notes for The Essential Alice in ChainsFree Music Review: Alice in Chains Hit: 4 StarsWould have preferred Nutshell to not have been recorded live. But other than that it is just what the title says, "Essential Alice in Chains".
Free Music Review: Missing Some Essentials Hit: 3 StarsIf it's not a mortal sin to call this "The Essential" AIC when it doesn't include "Down In A Hole," it should be. That's not an earthquake I feel, it's Layne Staley rolling over in his grave!
What's here is excellent, of course, but why include "Sap" (AIC's weakest release) nearly in its entirety when there's no "Bleed The Freak" or "Down In A Hole?"
Save your money and get "Music Bank," or better yet, get all five of the original albums and EPs.
Free Music Review: Alice in Chains - The Essential Collection Hit: 1 StarsQuit trying to cash in on this band already! How many compilations of Alice in Chains do we need, seriously? There is absolutely nothing here that you can not get anywhere else, and this release is completely pointless. The music is stellar of course, so my rating is based solely on the release itself. The choice and placement of tracks is just bizarre, like someone was just picking and placing them at random, I have shuffle on my CD player, I can do that myself, some semblance of order would be nice. Don't waste your money, you're better off picking up something a little more competant. FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY!
Free Music Review: Fabulous! Hit: 5 StarsI bought this for my husband, though he usually dislikes "Best of..." collections. He's been playing it in his car for two weeks now!
Free Music Review: if it was on the radio or on MTV, it's here Hit: 5 StarsIf there was one band that defined the 90s hard rock scene, it was Alice In Chains. You can have your Nirvana, but it was Alice that carried over that metal edge from decade before. With this 2-CD collection, if it was on the radio or on MTV, it's here. Best of all, the songs are chronological.
