Powerhouse album.
This album was breath of fresh air, it was different from anything else at the time and in retrospect still is very unique. Great heavy album from a truly innovative and now returned band. Truly awesome!.


At the crossroads of something better
Despite an impressive array of melodic, forboding metal, this new path was still in the midst of being forged while helplessly shrugging off a previous decade worth of snot-rock that nonetheless comes through. The reason this album has gathered far more dirt then its sucessor is simple.

Raw, loud and powerful yet sophisticated.
Alice In Chains were probably the heaviest of the Seattle grunge groups cause they were more metal along with Soundgarden and both Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell were big Black Sabbath fans and their influence shows here. Facelift is the first Alice In Chains Album to be released, it is a hard rocking, grungy and energetic album thats filled with great hooks and excellent riffs. Facelift also contains several of AIC's signature tracks, such as We Die Young, Man In The Box and Bleed The Freak. Other notable tracks include I Can't Remember, Sea Of Sorrow, Sunshine (which is amazingly catchy along with the rest of the songs) and I Know Something About You has something of a funk metal sound to it but still fits in with the rest of the album, Layne Staley's vocals are consistently powerful here and another reason it's my favourite AIC album is because it catches them at an early peak before all the drugs and madness that followed although in my honest opinion I don't think they made a bad album, they were one of the few groups that were just constantly good releasing some amazing stuff. Facelift is packed full of really well written songs like "Man in box", "Sunshine" and of course the metally "We Die Young" and is probably my all time favorite rock metal album. I would definitely recommend buying this album if you still haven't, check it out. .


Firing out of the Gates !!!!!!!!!!!
They really did go all out on their first record. Alice's first album was an all out onslaught. With a little bit of flavor from every song. You get the heavy, you get the punk and even a little funk. Like tracks "I Know Somethin (bout you)" you get the essence of a ZZ Top flavor blended in .
