Query: Alice in Chains - Powerful Debut

Pros: New, exciting, RawCons: A little too raw, lyrics needed some workI still remember when I first saw "Man in the box" on MTV, and I remember rushing out and buying the tape as soon as I could. It's hard to believe it was so long ago, but I still love slapping the cassette in my car stereo and bangin' along to great tracks like "Man in the box" and "Sea of Sorrow". This album really helped defined not only metal, but grunge as well. As much of a crossover as their could be at the young age of grunge and the changing face of metal, Alice in Chains was a pioneer on both fronts, and rarely gets the credit they deserve. Not as refined as later releases, "Facelift" packs in power, emotion, and sometimes slightly more trite lyrics, but the end result is still great. Should be considered a classic and a must have for all music fans.(NOTE: This review was originally written Oct '99)
