i've heard bad things

>>71455786
It's really good. It's just their worst album in a discography without a bad album. 6-7.

It's not as good as those you listed, but it's still a alright album. All of their Layne era stuff is worth a listen.

>>71455786
It's a great and underrated album, but it doesn't have any big hits so plebs ignore it, easily 8/10

>>71455786
>Heaven Beside You

> Over Now

Some real bangers on there famalam you could do worse

>>71455853
It has Heaven Beside You, one of their biggest hits.

You'll like it if you liked those albums. I know I do.

Thanks guys. I also haven't listened to the newer albums. What do you all think?

>>71456106
They are good but overlong and badly produced

Make sure to check out Jerry Cantrell solo albums

>>71455786
if you liked those you'll absolutely enjoy S/T. also listen to their unplugged.

>>71455786

>should I still try it out?

This should never be a question, make your own mind up about what you listen to.

Like I said, I don't want to lose the appreciation I have for Layne.

Maybe I just don't want to be depressed in thinking the drugs made him perform worse.

I couldn't imagine ignoring this album, let alone any actual fan doing the same. It has some of my favorite AIC songs on it, never would have occurred to me that Layne was any less of who he was on their earlier records.

It can only expand your appreciation for him as a vocalist and human being. Listen to it right now.

this OP. listen to the fucking album senpai

>>71455786
It's not bad.

Grind is my favorite. Maybe God Am next.

Try Died and Get Born Again as well. They're the last songs recorded with Layne.

>>71456285
layne literally has no bad performances
look at mad season if u appreciate him

It's excellent. If you like AIC it's almost impossible to not like that album.

>>71455786
What bad things? It's a great album, sometimes I think it's their best.

Shame in You and God Am combo is one of their best moments.

>>71455786
Heaven Beside You is great

>>71455786
Self titled is their best full length
Only plebs disagree.

>>71455786
It's one of their best, don't be fooled

>>71455786
It's pretty good, Layne just sounds like he's dying.

SO THERE'S PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE, THAT'S FUCKED UP I'M NOT BLIND

>>71456968
>>71457405
Agreed, Shame In You is probably their most underrated downer.

>>71455786
This is their best alongside Jar of Flies, the last 3 songs are amazing

underrated AS FUCK.

"God am" "Head Creeps" "frogs" are patrician taste

>>71455786
WHYYYYY'S IT HAVE TO BEEEEEE THIS WAAAAAAAAAAY

Shame in You and Sludge Factory is insane.

Props to Frogs, God Am and Head Creeps

>>71455786
God am
Sludge factory

I love this album

It took me time to like it, but now it's one of my favorites.

It is their grittiest, sludgiest album. It's full of pain and emotion, and you can hear Layne calling for help as his life unravels. I'd say it's less accessible than Facelift or Dirt, but it's worth it.

CAAAAaaarrRRTOON SIIIIIIZEEE
