The best from Alice in Chains. They developed the most depressing and hypnotic sound of all their discography.

This album seems to be AIC's most challenging and strangest effort, as it very rarely sounds like anything the band had recorded beforehand. Gone is the crushing heaviness of 'Dirt' and the rough rawness of the band's debut album, making way for a sludgier, more depressing sound that, although never quite works as well as it should, is quite often satisfying. 'Heaven beside you' and interestingly upbeat closer 'Over now' both work well with their acoustic guitar-led structures, and even the sludgy nature of both 'Sludge Factory' and 'Frogs' offer a particularly laid-back feel, at times even begging to hypnotize the listener all the more. Such a shame that this was the last AIC album to feature vocalist Layne Stanley before his death.

Facelift displays AIC as a new-born, blooming band, with upbeat heavy metal songs, with just a little bit of sadness and sorrow mixed somewhere. It's a straight-forward great record.
Dirt is a masterpiece of an album, with a dark, grittier sound, and a killer "meta-album" within which portrays the stages of heroin addiction. "Would?" closes off the album because it's about Andrew Wood. After you discover and re-visit the feelings of Dirt, try listening to Would? again. Perhaps Layne ended up following the same path?
Now this album is underrated as hell, I like it more than Facelift. It's innovative: sludge, creepy, progressive and DARK. That's because most of the songs are Layne's, not Cantrell's. Layne was already struggling with his addiction, and that's why they never toured for this album, and avoid songs from it nowadays. This is album is a definitive "Inside Layne's Mind" and "Head Creeps" is my favorite track.

This album was made for me. Extremely strange. Many people might not like it that much, but to me, it's their best album (but just a few steps ahead of Dirt)
