    This album kicks ass. Surprised it took so long to leak. I too hope everyone buys this album; bands like this SHOULD be supported. I already have my autographed copy pre-ordered.

  • edward said:

    Everyone needs to buy this album. if albums keep leaking no one is going to release new music and its going to be pretty pointless for bands if there isnt going to be any new music. Im going to buy this album on the 29.

  • Tim said:

    I have my Itunes LP version pre-ordered already. Kinda excited to check the new format out.
    Will definately buy the CD version as well,love this Band. :)

    Wow. Just…. WOW. Definitely a new sound, and I must say…I like it! Duvall may not sing w/ the pain and conviction that Layne did, but he delivers a new aura while remaining true to the vibe of Alice in Chains.

    The thing I feel they needed to watch for was having too much of a prominence in Jerry’s vocals, as it does tend to sound alot like a Jerry Cantrell solo album. Jerry’s voice isn’t terrible by any means, but it belongs in harmonies or in the background- as he has a tendency to sound emotionless. My least favorite AiC songs are the ones with too much Jerry (i.e., Heaven Beside You, Over Now, etc…). My opinion on Jerry’s vocals is just….well, an opinion! I know many people really dig his voice, and that’s okay. I guess there’s a little bit of something for everybody in this album!

    I would rate this album at an easy 9.5 / 10 – and it squashes anything currently out there, and anything made in the last few years for sure. This has Album of the Year written all over it!

    Good job AiC!!! Now they just need to line up a tour date here at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, WA!

    I think they’ll win some Grammys for this, the Elton John association should help. It would be great if they won and dedicated it to Layne, since he said in 1996 that he wanted to win a Grammy badly.

    I wonder what the next single will be, there are so many possibilities. Do they go with a ballad like Your Decision or Black Gives Way to Blue? Or do they do that for a third single?

    I think they should release Last of My Kind as the second single, it’s a DuVall song and it really rocks. It also sounds straight off of Dirt. Nice melody and lyrics. Then they should release Your Decision or Black Gives Way to Blue as the third single.

    i have download this album….but i’ll buy it 29 Sept. of course! i love this band…i support it!

  • Andrei said:

    I’m definitely gonna buy this! I was planning to buy it since the news came that the band was in the studio! Black Gives Way To Blue is heavy, dark, aggressive and also melodic! It still has to grow on me just like Tripod did! But I love it!

    Everyone should buy it and support the guys!

  • Junior said:

    Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing! Got 2 autographed copies preordered. Can’t wait to get the full experience of the album.

  • cR@zYH4t3R said:

    I saw this comment on blabbermouth;

    Jerry In Chains – Degradation Trip CD 3

    couldn’t have said it better myself.

  • chase said:

    check my brain, last of my kind, a looking in view, acid bubble and private hell are all examples that make it not a jerry cantrell record and an alice in chains record.

    william sings a lot on the record, just not alone very much…oh wait thats exactly what jerry and layne did as well.

  • Ace said:

    This is an irresponsible post. Why even post something that encourages people to rip off the band?

  • John said:

    BUY THE ALBUM.

    Black gives way to blue brings me to tears , really wonderful song .

    Last of my kind ROCKS , THIS IS ALICE IN CHAINS ! Pure dark energy

  • Yaz said:

    Don’t understand why you need to post that link.

    Show some respect to the band.

  • Brett (author) said:

    Ace, the album leaked, it’s news. If people want to download it they can, if they don’t they won’t. That simple. I encourage everybody to buy it on the 29th leak or no leak.

  • Brett (author) said:

    Also I did not post a direct download link. I posted a link to a Twitter.com search of black gives way to blue.

  • Junior said:

    Been jamming this album ALL day. I thought it was amazing on first listen and it’s only gotten better. Wow.

  • Norman said:

    I’ve already made like 50 copies and sold them at work. Made a pretty buck, if ya know what I mean. Not bad for a mediocre album.

  • The Incredible Mr. Mark Arm said:

    hey trollman, ups, norman, go buy some jonas brothers and katy perry cds, i think that that music may satisfy you

  • Troy said:

    It’s AIC of course I will buy it. It’s so much better to have and hold things in your hand.

  • Mit said:

    That’s what she said!

    …and I’m buying this, not downloading. Support the band guys!

  • Daniel said:

    The album is great!!

    This gives me more than enough reason to go
    out next Tuesday and buy it.

  • Brett (author) said:

    Keep in mind it comes out on the 29th, not this Tuesday. Pearl Jam is out today though!

  • LordelX said:

    I`ll buy it as soon as it becomes available here. Gotta support the band.
