5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds Just Right, July 1, 2009

This review is from: A Looking In View (MP3 Download)

It's always tough when established bands get new singers. You don't want to hear a carbon copy, another cover band. But you like the band for a reason, and hope that feeling you get when you hear them remains.
This song sounds great, and gets me excited for the new album.

It still has the Alice in Chains dirty/heavy sound, but it doesn't bring to mind any past song in particular. DuVall's vocals/harmonies match the band well, and he definitely sounds like he's part of it, not just some guy emulating Staley.

Nothing against Amazon, but the band is giving away this MP3 single (encoded at 192 kbps) via their website. That's 7+ minutes of pure_rock_goodness for FREE. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the album drops on September 29.

From the MP3 comment tag:

"Today we give you "A Looking in View" into our brand new record Black Gives Way to Blue. We're very proud to be able to give this song to all of you."

5.0 out of 5 stars CHAINS!!!!!!!!!!, June 30, 2009

The sound is immediately recognizable for those who know how to listen. And for those not familiar, one earful will have you hooked liked the rest of us Chains junkheads. Mike and Sean lay the concrete that allow William and Jerry to produce a sound that is undeniably their own and create harmonies that haven't been heard in years.
This is not the Alice of early days, but like wine has gotten better with age. William is not Layne, but his voice fits strangely in its place as if it could have been there all along.
I have a feeling that the best is yet to come in the fall and ironically may actually "come with the fall".
Good job gentleman.
