thoughts?
Really catchy chorus. I heard somebody say elsewhere (or maybe it was here idk) "only alice n chains can make a riff out of one note and get away with it" haha. its pretty much designed for radio play, much like them bones and again.

I'm surprised anybody wanted him. He's the most overrated athlete of the decade.
overrated may be appropriate...but i would say misused is more appropriate. there is no doubt that the man is pound for pound one of the best athletes in sports, he just can't play the NFL quarterback position.

this album is going to build a lot of momentum over the next few weeks and i think it will convert a lot of nay-sayers upon its release.

There are. Here is a song by song report.
http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/07/22/al … ty-report/
1. Heavy as fuck. AIC is the band every modern hard rock band (Chevelle, Disturbed, etc) tries to be, but aren’t nearly as good.
2. Awesome, heavy, deep groove. “Check My Brain”? Dense vocal harmonies, inflection just like Layne. Depth.
3. Power grooves, bass present throughout.
4. Acoustic. First time you can hear Duvall’s voice upfront without all the layers of guitars and harmonies. Verse sounds like “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World.” Multi-layer vocal harmony. very ’90s guitar — “Your Decision”?
5. “A Looking in View.” God damn this song is heavy. Track 1-3 were also as heavy as this. This album is slow, groovy. Slow heavy as opposed to fast heavy. Sometimes slow is heavier than fast. Fade out… no one really does fade-outs anymore.
6. Another acoustic song. Is this the Layne song? Kinney bongos. Electric solo great — shoulda been longer.
7. Slowest yet — heavy. Not going for poppy choruses on this record, just good songs and emotion. Part 2 — fastest section on the record yet. Back to part 1. This song is epic. Back to part 2!
8. mid-paced rocker — most like old AIC so far. Duvall’s voice really low, haunting. Pretty sweet chorus. Possible single.
9. Big, slower, but arena-rocky. Major key chorus. Reminds me of “Sea of Sorrow.” Short but fitting solo. Song still kinda slow and plodding (in a good way).
10. Really slow but still loud. Distorted guitars. AIC are the Crowbar of alt-metal/rock. Gigantic sounding guitars on this whole record. Another ace solo – Jerry not a guitar hero, just plays what’s right.
11. Quiet. piano + guitar + vocals. Layne song? melancholy. “Black Gives Way to Blue”? “I Remember You.”

this is what separates this board from the others...
a preference for uyi 1 over uyi2 (save for the above two posters).
I think this is because of the prevalence of Axl nutswingers on the other boards. They cite big Axl ballads like breakdown, civil war, and estranged as the best tunes of the two records, while non nutswingers cite rockers like Don't Damn Me, Coma, DTJ, and Dust N Bones.
Of course this is a major generalization, but I think there is some truth to it.

i am a member of this board because guns n roses is my favorite band and I love their music. thus i see it as no "crime" to vote Black Album.
