A lot of this new album is very reminiscent of Degradation Trip and BGWTB is getting rave reviews already... wtf…HBY does not suck…when I heard that for first time it was the unplugged version and totally got me into the chains…and his solo stuff rules too.

I saw them live in Atlanta in OCT 06 and he was spot on and it was one of the best (and I have been to a LOT) concerts I have ever seen...if not the best. I was always an AIC fan from the first time I ever heard them but after that show my respect for them went way up. That said, the new song is not quite up to my standards for AIC but its still better than most of the crap they play on radio. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the new album as soon as it comes out. This youtube video of Will is one of the worst.

I saw the band perform with Will a couple years ago & trust me, they kicked some serious ass! This band has a sound like no other and will definitely be the next coming of AC/DC. Like it or not, the new era of AIC has begun! I am a huge Layne fan, but I am really looking forward to this.

I watch clips of Duvall with the band live on You Tube and a lot of the comments there are just childish and overly negative. I am a huge AIC fan, I've loved them from their start, and I think their return is quite inspirational. I'm very anxious for the new record. I, like some of you here, though Jerry's solo outings were pretty good. I thought Boggy Depot was very nicely produced and pretty sleek, Deg. Trip, to me, was a little rough around the edges and IMO a bit overdone, but produced some great tunes none the less. Shows Jerry still has it and is eager to please his fans. I think that is what makes AIC great, they really want to deliver! They don't do gimmicks or rely so much on an image or past success to sell new records. They just deliever, here is KNOWING that they will continue to do so. I’m happy to read a lot of optimism about this record on this site.

When somebody puts his heart into something you have to respect it.

Jerry and William have been connected for 9 years or so and William has been playing with Sean and Mike for over 4 years now. They have had time to develop the symbiotic relationship required to write true music...on their terms and on their timeline - should be fantastic!

IMO, Will's done more than enough to prove his immense and up-to-par vocal capabilities, and Jerry Cantrell has proven (via his solo albums) that he can still write some amazing music. I really think it would be hard for these guys to fuck it up.

I think Second Coming and Thread were passed up because the Seattle sound was starting to lame out due to the passing of Kurt Cobain. I wish I knew how to upload that Second Coming song with Layne on vocals, I think everyone would kinda dig it. And Thread, those guys were freakin’ great too.

"Second Coming" is awesome. The song <i>Confessional</i> kills. Not so hot on anything on "13" though. Interesting that Staley sang on one of their earlier tracks; I didn't know that. I have “Second Coming” and “13″.

Cantrell can sing (quite well actually) and is a great guitarist. But his solo stuff leaves a lot to be desired. Furthermore, let us not forget Cantrell was largely responsible for the worst AIC song of all time, "Heaven Beside You." That said, I hope to give this new record a fair listen.
