When Layne Staley died from a drug overdose in 2002, it had already been several years since most Alice in Chains fans stopped hoping for a new album. The singer had become a recluse since the late-`90s, and there was little indication that AIC would ever again produce much in the way of new music. As a result, when the remaining members reunited to release BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE in 2009, expectations were low. To the delight of all however, the album proved to be perhaps the Seattle combo's most energetic and consistent effort since its masterpiece DIRT. Perhaps the most surprising element of the new record was how much it sounded exactly like Alice in Chains. While new singer William DuVall was not an exact Staley soundalike, he managed to evoke both the unique timbre and sense of deep angst that were the late vocalist's trademarks. Throughout, the sound is heavier and sturdier than ever before, with songs like the first single "A Looking In View" and "Check My Brain" borrowing a bit from the nu-metal bands Alice in Chains inspired, and beating the upstarts at their own game.Spin (p.72) - "Alice in Chains still have an appealingly outcast aura on their first studio album in 14 years."
Billboard (p.84) - "The droning 'Private Hell' takes the listener into a trance-like state, while the album-closing title track is a salute to Stanley that features Elton John on piano."
Q (Magazine) (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he quartet sound reborn, with new vocalist William DuVall's eerie melodies perfectly complimenting Jerry Cantrell's lead-bottomed riffs.

Black Gives Way To Blue album
 $12.35  
Taking into account the tattoos, nose rings, and spiky haircuts, one might be forgiven for instantly pegging Lit as a punk-pop band no different from a dozen other Orange County, California combos. One listen to the group's recordings, however, reveals what Lit fans have always known--the band creates some of the most diverse and well-crafted music of its genre. On the group's self-titled fourth album, Lit's trademark Cheap Trick-esque power-pop is very much in evidence, but the sound is fleshed out with echoes of Kiss, Billy Squier, Foghat, and a host of other 1970s and '80s arena rockers. Standout tracks include "Lullaby," a Dashboard Confessional-like life-on-the-road weeper, and "Forever Begins Right Now," a bouncy British Invasion-style rave-up.
This eponymous set is Lit's fourth, and their most self-assured to date. After a three-year hiatus, during which they ended their relationship with RCA, the bandmembers are obviously raring to go; their self-confidence is evidenced by their decision to produce this album themselves, and they deftly emphasize their full-bodied styling while giving plenty of play to the strong melodies that set this set alight. They're even willing to hand over the crucial guitar solo on "Needle & Thread" to the Matches' ...
| | Bad Religion Empire Strikes First CD (2004)
Black Gives Way To Blue CD music
$11.59 
A sense of justice and moral outrage is frequently part of punk's ethos, and Bad Religion has willfully flown this flag since the early 1980s. The title of the band's 2004 release, THE EMPIRE STRIKES FIRST, and the songs "Let Them Eat War" and "Sinister Rouge" indicate that Bad Religion has a thing or two to say about United States foreign policy and the George W. Bush administration, among other things. Driving guitars, thundering bass, and jackhammer drums create a sonic assault that reinforces the group's ideological fervor and underscores the pitch of its rage.
Though Bad Religion borrows from the legacy of punk, ...
| | NOFX Greatest Hits Ever Written (By Us) CD (2004)
Black Gives Way To Blue music CDs
$11.25
Twenty years is a long time for any band, let alone one that plays jocular warp-speed anthems with titles like "Party Enema" and "Green Corn." Nevertheless, here it is, NOFX's typically self-deprecating Greatest Songs Ever Written: By Us. Entertaining liner notes trace the combo's history in photos, drawings, Xeroxed show bills, and Fat Mike's own scribbled narration; 26 tracks take you from NOFX's first full-lengths in the 1980s through their somewhat surprising, yet still snarky political awakening with 2003's War on Errorism. ("Franco-Unamerican" rhymes "Michael Moore" and "Awful Truth" with "Public Enemy" and "Regan Youth.") As the entire release is ...

Black Gives Way To Blue CD music
$13.89
Robert Pollard has a clearly defined sound and style as a songwriter, and as a consequence, nearly everything he does carries his recognizable creative stamp, whether it's his solo work, his albums with Guided by Voices, or his increasingly large number of post-GBV projects such as Boston Spaceships and the Keene Brothers. What's surprising about the first album from Pollard's latest side project, Cosmos, is that for a change it doesn't sound all that much like a typical Robert Pollard album. JAR OF JAM TON OF BRICKS was written and recorded in collaboration with Richard Davies of the Moles and Cardinal, and while his approach has clearly rubbed off on Pollard, the often spare and slightly trippy tone of these 14 songs stakes out a territory separate from Pollard's revved-up smart pop and Davies' more polished and Baroque approach. Given how big Pollard can sound what's most unexpected about JAR OF JAM is its compact simplicity. Many of the tunes find Pollard and Davies accompanied ...
