Alice In Chains - “Again”
Alice In Chains, 1995

Alice In Chains’ final studio album was released 14 years ago this week. Tracks like this one as well as “Grind” and “Over Now” give this album a harder, sludgier, and bleaker sound than previous AIC albums. The death of singer Layne Staley in 2002 marked the end of Alice In Chains forever.

“Hey, what are you talking about? They just put out a new studio album!”

What? Sorry, can’t hear you. Not listening to what you’re saying at all.
