This is probably my favourite Alice In Chains album.



Heaven Beside You is possibly their greatest achievement.

"I think a lot of that comes from the prominent 80s glam-adjacent influences, which tend to distract from the grimy and doomy nature of its highlights"

yeah this is exactly it for me. feels like mixing oil and water

That's why I enjoy it for what it is tbh, it's a lighter listen than the rest of the discography.



Dirt/JOF/S/T are better and amazing pieces of work but can be almost too depressing at times.

Saying Facelift is weak is straight up retarded. It’s one of the best 4-song openers ever. Easily makes up for some of the weaker songs on the album. We Die Young especially is an all-time banger.

Yeah but that only like highlights how weak some of the back half of that record is. Put You Down might be their worst song

It doesn’t even matter that there are weak songs. The high end songs are that good. Bleed the Freak and We Die Young are probably my two favorite Alice songs - no surprise since I like heavier AiC.

I actually like Facelift as the best AiC LP, but their best album is Jar of Flies by far imo



Heaven Beside You is def one of their best tunes

Jar of Flies isn't as heavy but it is definitely up there with their best.

"Saying Facelift is weak is straight up retarded."



I get what you mean, but it is still fair to say Facelift is weak compared to this, Dirt or JoF. Even though that is not saying much since it is still a solid 4 and has some of their absolute best individual songs.
