bt88 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Duvall sounds good on the "last of my kind" sample. It shows how he's trying to have a Layne feel but with his own sound to it. This should rock. Good to have these guys back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted_19765 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Sounds like Alice In Chains to me. I am definitely buying this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Wow... this genuinely sounds really solid. Looking forward to it... it's definately Alice, but sounds kinda contemporary too!"Your decision" sounds like "Nutshell". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted_19765 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Title track sounds awesomeI was about to post the same. Jerry's ballads are always a highlight, and I have high hopes for this one.The old records are great, obviously, but I have to admit that the bleak, junk influenced lyrics can often become overbearing on the mood. Dirt for example can be too miserable of an experience for me to sit through at once (this wasn't a problem when I was a teenager) and I'm hoping this record has just enough maturity to make it more enduring.

bt88 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Yea I have a leak of it and am listening to it now. I am a diehard AIC fan and was totally open to a new vocalist/ The new disc sounds solid but it didnt exactly blow me away on the first listen, which is fine. most AIC albums tend to seep in and stay there. The best stuff to me on this disc is the slower acoustic numbers like "Last of my kind." So far my favorite tune is "WHen the Sun Rose Again", its very creepy and low key. The biggest thing is that the vocals are almost all Jerry, more so than the old stuff. Its almost like theyre protecting Duvall from singing too much as not to make any dramatic shifts. When he does get a chance he sounds good but it still sounds like a Jerry solo album with the AIC band backing and a guest vocalist. "Acid Bubble" is one of the heaviest things the band has ever written. The closing title track is beautiful and a good send off to Layne., if you were a big AIC fan it might even bring you to tears.

drtydane Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Pretty solid. Only listened to the whole thing once... Nothing really stands out too much so far, but as a whole the albums solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Just finished the opening track, liked it much better than Check My Brain and A Looking In View. One of the best riffs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Gonna give it a listen today..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 For me the first listen was tough. I was not prepared for it yet and I really just sat back and tried to get used it. On second listen I really grew to like it. All the AIC elements are there but like I said in my last post Jerry dominates the singing moreso than on other AIC records. Theyll never recover from losing Layne's voice but all things considered its a damn good effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Got it today....The softer songs are the standouts IMO. I usually prefer AiC's heavy stuff (Rooster, Man In The Box, Would? etc) but on this album I preferred songs like Last Of My Kind.I'll keep spinning it though and see how it goes in a week or so.

eye2eye Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 WOW ! Awesome album I've preordered my copy but couldn't resist and download as well It sounds like Alice in Chains and has that AIC vibe around it ( which wasn't on Jerry's solo albums ) it doesn't pale in comparison with other AIC albums (expect "Dirt" but every other AIC pales in comparison with "Dirt" in my opnion). Very diverse albums, awesome songs but that albums grows as other AIC albums. Also it makes perfect package, DuVall has balls of steel to step into Layne shoes but he ends winning, very solid vocals which fit the songs and his vocals are pretty similar to Layne's. Also it's the darkest, the heaviest AIC album, I was playing "Looking in the View" to my good friend who was huge AIC fan back in days and he didn't like it because it was too heavy almost like doom metal ( that's what he said) but I love such dark/heavy records. So far my favourite tracks are - Last of My Kind - Acid Bubble - Take Her Out ( awesome guitar melodies) - Black Gives Way to Blue (very moving and great tribute to Layne) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 apparently the cd has leaked todayi dont have any links, im going to hold off till the 29thDamn, that's a pretty early leak. I'm still debating whether or not I should DL it, because I really want to hear it but I also want to wait for the CD release too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Haha, I love that part in Acid Bubble. So simple, yet so effective.Take Her Out is really cool too -- love that opening riff. Edited September 20, 2009 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 ...Also it's the darkest, the heaviest AIC album,No.. I dont think so at all. That would be the self titled album.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
