Hearing this, it becomes obvious that a lot of AIC still sounding like AIC comes from Jerry’s voice being fairly high in the mix. That, and more frequently harmonizing, whereas Layne sung alone a little more. It’s a clever way to make it still sound like an Alice In Chains record. Regardless of the singer change, they still sound good and Cantrell is one of my all-time favorite riff kings. I don’t think anyone would dispute the fact that Layne Staley is irreplaceable. RIP 💔

I hate when people talk about how he replaced Layne as if you can simply replace a person. I recently got into AIC and they're already one of my favorite bands ever, so I don't really have the emotional attachment that others do. Hell, Layne died 3 years before I was born. They're different people, that's obvious enough. No one can ever be a replacement for someone else, I'm just tired of people trashing him since he joined. Do I prefer Layne's voice? Yeah, I do. Does that mean I'm gonna be one of those "no Layne no chains" elitists and shit on William? Absolutely not because I like his voice too and I like what he adds to the music. FFS can we just enjoy the music without comparing it 24/7? What happened was awful, but I'm happy for them that they were able to keep going and contribute new music. Idk how to end this, I'm sorry if it's incoherent. It's like. 2 am and I can't sleep. But I just wanted to get it off my chest. I'm tired of people being negative about it (even though I'm a bit late to the discussion 💀💀💀) It's fine to not like it, but trashing it for no reason is just a dick move and elitism just turns more people away from the music. It's weird how hostile people about it.
