Alice In Chains - second single from the forthcoming album
-
02-09-2009 3:10pm#1Have seen no mention of the second release from the new album due later this month, so here it is.
I quite like it, it ticks all the right boxes for me for an AIC tune.
Du Vall has defo had an influence too as there is a Comes With The Fall vibe in this song too.

Its unfair to hold Layne against everything AIC do from now on. He is dead, unfortunate as that is, he is dead, which means that whatever job William does is better than what Layne can do, William having the definite advantage of being alive.
The remaining three members of the original line up, still enjoy making music together and have drafted in an incredible replacement(as I am sure anyone who has caught their last two Irish dates will agree).
I dont think its right to hold Laynes legacy against the band as they move forward. It should be something to celebrate and if anything increase your support for them as they finally move out of the shadow that Layne's substance abuse and subsequent death had cast on them.
Have to agree with that. The new album can be compared to the old albums, but basing an opinion only on whether or not it sound like layne staley is not fair on AIC.
As DQ said, layne staley is dead so we can never again hear new material with him on it. DuVall is the here and now of AIC vocally, and going by his past efforts with Comes With The Fall, I think he is going to surprise a lot of people. Whilst he can sing in a style very similar to Layne, he defo has a greater range and can be more melodic so that should open up even more doors for the rest of AIC in terms of variety in writing.
Some people I know have compared the change of singer to when Bon Scott died, personally I think that musically the change will be more like when John Bush came in as lead singer for Anthrax.
Bush is technically a better singer than Belladonna and is far more melodic, and as such allowed Anthrax to expand their sound on Sound Of White Noise.
Now I don't expect as big a change as there was between Persistence Of Time and Sound Of White Noise, mainly because although I think DuVall has a greater range than Staley, the difference is not as great as between Belladonna and Bush. But I do expect to hear more in the way of melody whilst retaining the sludge feel that AIC often had.
The two singles have pointed towards a good album, one that is very much an AIC album, as have the live performances, and AIC seem prepared to let the music do their talking in the run up to the release, unlike say Metallica in the run up to Death Magnetic who were in front of interviewers any chance they got (Mostly Lars of course) trying to say that it was old school, the best they have done in years, and basically trying to influence opinions before the album was even heard.
Case in point would have been the amount of people saying that Death Magnetic was going to be amazing even before they heard it.
AIC are back and I for one am very happy about it.0 -

I hate this "duval is sh1t". LAYNE STALEY IS DEAD!!! jebus. does brian johnson get as much sh1te?
new single is great, can't wait for the album. f**k the begrudgers.
European dates in November too but no Ireland or UK yet...
He got quite a lot at the time, but the lack of the internet and instant information meant no hate for him on web forums etc.
Mind you, a little album called Back In Black kinda got most of the naysayers onside
