Alice In Chains is in the top 2 of my favorite bands of all time list. I thought today would be a good day to rank their albums from not the best to their best.

Black Gives Way To Blue:

Good ordering. Dirt is their masterpiece, and Jar of Flies shows the band’s versatility. It brings a whole other side out of Layne Staley vocally.
My only quibble would be that Black Gives Way to Blue is stronger than Dinosaurs – the latter plods in places and lacks some of the vitality that came with the band finding itself again with William DuVall on board.
Thank you for reading. The dinosaurs album seemed more like Classic Alice in the songwriting, while black seemed to be more of what Alice would be like in modern times.
Fair point. I should give Dinosaurs a bit more of a spin. There are some cracking tracks on it – Hollow and Stone for starters.
When they toured the UK last autumn they didn’t play many songs from it, focusing instead on Staley-era material.
There is a song on the new album called Phantom Limb. It’s mainly written by William DuVall. It’s a great song. You’d love it!
