Top 10 Best Songs On Alice In Chains' Facelift
The real best grunge song. Makes Smells Like Teen Spirit look like crap.
One of, if not the, best song in my opinion. The guitar riffs are flat-out insane, and combined with Layne's voice and his "yeah's," I could (and have) just put it on repeat for hours.
This is easily the best song on the album - pure AIC. I had the great pleasure of seeing them live when they were the opening band for the Clash of the Titans Tour in 1991. They were unknown at the time (at least on the East Coast) and were getting booed off the stage. The only thing I remember from their performance was this song. And I'm not the only one who thinks this song should be number one.
Jerry Cantrell has said this is the "masterpiece of the album." Staley's vocals were amazing, and it has the best solo I've ever written." So there you go - can you really argue with that?
Layne's vocal range on this is able to reach inside the listener. Pure emotional impact. It's like an oil painting, painted so thick you want to touch the canvas as if the scene were 3D. Layne's voice had that ability. You felt his voice, and for him to have that God-given asset - only God knows how deep his pit of inspiration was.
Why does everybody think Man in the Box is the best? It's nothing compared to Love, Hate, Love, Put You Down, Sea of Sorrow, and others. I still like it, but to be honest, it's one of my least favorites from this album.
It's actually a pretty dark song. Very underappreciated.
Deserves better than #8.
In your face, in my space. I tell you, I know somethin' 'bout you. I know somethin'...
