Alice in Chains - Jar Flies is the Greatest Album of all time
Imo.
Discuss. It dont matter who did what to who at this point. The fact is, we went to war. And now there aint no going back. It's what war is you know? Once you're in it, you're in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight! |

Nutshell
We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find And yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead Nutshell is the only song thats ever made me cry a tear |

If your feeling all out grunge then you go with Dirt, but if your feeling a album that will just touch every emotion you have. Jar Flies is amazing.

Rottin Apple and Nutshell are just flat out amazing songs. Then its complimented by 5 songs that could be singles on anyones albums.

I guess I could agree with that. Although, you would feel emotional to whatever album happens to have left an imprint on you as well. Dirt takes me back a ways, although it was originally "man in the box" that turned me on to them.
And yes Nutshell is an amzing song. |

I totally agree with you. I mean i'm not declaring it the greatest ever period. Just IMO. When i listen to Jar Flies i seriously go into another world that i cant even explain. I'm a huge fan of music period. I own 762 cd's ranging from rock , rap, country, grunge, 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's. I have alot of great albums. I listen to music every minute i'm at home. No joke. Nothing has touched me deeper then Jar Flies as far as music goes. I cant even describe it. Alice in Chains is probably my favorite band of all time and Jar Flies is the one album i could not possibly imagine living without. |

Too bad Jar of Flies wasn't a longer album. I totally agree that it is amazing. Then again everything AIC produced was amazing to me. Jar of Flies was special as it took AIC in a different direction. In a way it reminded me of a grunge version of REM's Automatic for the People.
Too hard to list my 5 favourite AIC tunes in order as they constantly change dependent on mood. "Down in a Hole" and "Bleed the Freak" would definitely remain consistently in the top 5 though. |

Alice in Chains were the goods. It has to be said that few rock bands today come even close to touching them.

Although it is just an EP, I find SAP doesn't get much hype for its greatness. It is a solid little compilation. |

Also I was listening to Jar of Flies as I opened this thread. Did you guys know the album was recorded and mastered in only 5 days? True story.
I finally have a reason to like you rectal pertruder. |

The world needs another band as good as Alice in Chains. Current music blows compared to 1992 grunge.

There MTV Unplugged Album is great too. Very emotional version of "Down in a Hole". Besides the songs already mentioned I enjoy:
Rain When I Die Queen of the Rodeo Hate to Feel We Die Young Got Me Wrong Would? And a shit load of others. I got the AiC Music Bank last year for Xmas and I haven't been able to put it down yet. |

AIC was successful because you felt Layne's pain when he sang. Don't believe me, tell me how you feel watching the Unplugged stuff? It hurts so bad knowing that everyone knew Layne was messed up, yet he couldn't be or wasn't helped.
A replacement singer can never have what Layne had with his audience. |
