Black Gives Way To Blue is one album that has come out in the last ten years that after I got done listening to it staright through, I actually had a smile. In my own opinion, “Private Hell” and “Acid Bubble” are the best written songs in the last ten years hands down. The most important part of this album is that everything flows together, the harmonies, the melody, the tone and the rhythm. Most music during this generation has lacked everything but tone. When you buy an Alice In Chains album you will receive the true meaning behind Music: (Rhythm, harmony, form and tone). And even after 14 years and the loss of one the greatest Vocalist (Layne Staley) to ever take the rock stage, Alice In Chains are still the only band to make somthing ugly sound so beautiful! 4.5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!

The lyrics on this album are not quite as creative or brutally real as Layne Staleys, but this album…just sounds better probably any of their previous albums. Its just more consistanly good. Its even more positive in many ways which I think is a mature change. I actually liked “Last of my kind” and thought it was a cool new sound blend of old and new with great riffs to back it up. I also haven’t stopped listening to this album since I got it. 4 and 1/2 stars. Great comeback.

I have not stopped listening to this album since it leaked. To me, a person with a well developed palate when it comes to all things metal/good rock, this is a fantastic album. Every song is very, very good.

I was scared to listen to this album, fearing that I would compare the two, AIC’s. For a long time, I wouldn’t listen to it, but I was excited that there was a new movement taking place in support for them. As expected, I sampled the album through iTunes. Most of the tracks were right on with the old AIC, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I have to admit, us, the true die-hard AIC fans most likely felt, they too, were in their comfort zone once again. I won’t compare William to Layne – that wouldn’t be fair game. Yes, I do – we do, miss Layne very much, but there is some solid sound here. I am enjoying the album very much. The piano version of “Black Gives Way to Blue”, hit me in the heart, like a punch, when I first heard it. In fact, I cried. It is a very heartfelt tribute to Layne. Short and sweet. That’s how Layne liked it. Layne is up there, patting Jerry on the back. To the new AIC – keep it coming! Give us some risky, hard-core tracks the next time around – go WAY out of the box.

GUYS!! just listen to When the Sun Rose Again, close your eyes and feel it, that’s what music is all about and AIC did it again, when Layne died I never thought I would have the chance to enjoy something new from them. It’s an amazing album and they haven’t changed their CORE. I just have to thank AIC for bringing the feeling again, that’s worth my 5 Stars

I question your opinion of “Check my brain” being the best song on the album. Great song yes! Most pop radio playable for a metal song, more like it.. Of course this is all opinion and that being said, critics are the worst critics. Only artist should discuss art. Im glad you didnt pick wich songs made the album. We would be listening to a metalica black album….. souless dribble
