Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue - 2009



Seattle grunge rockers with 14 years since the last studio release and their 5th album. They should be well rested. Minus vocalist Layne Staley who died of a drug overdose in 2002, replaced by William Duvall of Comes With The Fall. Sounds the same to me.

I like this album.


Favorite Track - Check My Brain

So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Check my brain
I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah
California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
California's all right somebody check my brain
Aaaaah tears have filled my bones
Aaaaah years expended gone
guitar
I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah
California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
California's all right somebody check my brain
Aaaah tears have filled my bones
aaaah years expended gone
(Repeat)
Check my brain, check my brain ...

Stephen Stills - Right By You - 1984



This ninth studio album remains one of his lowest rated, by critics and the public. Still an ok offering in my book, the highlight may be the guest appearance by Jimmy Page. The title track and Can't Let Go were both released as singles, but neither helped the album sales too much, which only reached #75 on the charts, his lowest charting yet for a solo release. There are no clips available for this album.

I like this album

Favorite Track - Right By You

Ain't no thing
I got to say to you
Ain't no game
That I'm tryin' tryin' to run on you
I have fantasies about you
In the middle of the night
I could not live without you
If we ever got it right
One thing I know for sure
You ain't had no man that's yours
Ever do right by you
When you came
Into my life I was in trouble too
Were no flame
But to give up love ain't worth
These blues
I was driving myself crazy
I was wasted I was down
Weren't no time for being lazy
Pleasin' everybody round
Had some trip I had to deal with
Weren't no love that I could feel it
Ever get right by you
It's so strange
Hey hey hey little girl
What I've been through
Time for a big change
General overhaul of your
Attitude
All this misery and this cryin'
Ain't no knowin' what to do
You got circuitry that's fryin' all
This worryin' about you
Need a man knows how to fight
Get it over, get it right
Right right right by you

Reading Motley's The Dirt (recommendable), and listening to Dr. Feelgood is a good mixture... :biggrin1:

Barenaked Ladies - Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001)



Don't own any of their studio albums as I was always apprehensive. I did pick up this greatest hits compilation which I found very good. I guess there's quite a few singles on here but I don't know what they are. Although they started out as a novelty act, I think they graduated past that to put out some great songs.

I like this album.

Favorite Track - Pinch Me

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess.
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realize that a guy my size might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on.
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realize that a guy my size might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cos I'm still asleep.
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this (yo)
It's hard to tell if I exist
Pack the car and leave this town
who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realize that a guy my size might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Try to figure out what all this is for.

Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue - 2009...

I don't hear a bad song among them. Well thought-out, and true to their classic sound without sounding like they're calling it in.

"Comeback" albums often sound out-of-touch and make you feel like you're being dragged into the band's mid-life crisis. But this sounds as edgy as they ever did.

Very cool. Thanks for passing this along.
