Customer Reviews The Beauty of Decay. Where we may not completely understand lyrically unless the lyrics sound too familar, we can take a trip there when experiencing this album with its musical accompanyment, and see it in its full light. This album in its double-lp format simulates a 2 hour characterization of a man's downward spiral. With over two hours of quality music, it illustrates the creativity Jerry Cantrell has had harboring since the demise/death of layne staley and the previous lineup of AIC. And the mental punishment uncovered in the meantime. 'Anger Rising' & 'Angel Eyes' definitely were good choices for singles, very melodic,catchy and direct. However, the meat of the album lies in what brings it together, and that is the conceptual, provocative, songwriting that makes it on its on pedestal. This album should be listened as a audio soundtrack to a movie you hear. Take the time, if you got it. To breathe this in in its vol. 1 & 2 format entirely. And help yourself appreciate your current well-being. -Jake. Hard Rock At It's Level Best - " Degradation Trip" Jerry Cantrell it appears from the first note of this cd was more than just the guitarist for Alice In Chains. . the atomsphere he creates here is nothing short of amazing! His singing is as strong as his guitar and I am very impressed with this cd as it really has Jerry bringing it all together. . . as one reviewer remarked the first cd Bogey Depot was a solo album from a member of a band. . . this cd is far superior in that it has its own personality and takes you down in the hole of Jerry's soul. . . get it play it and be glad that with all the junk metal being made lately this is real rock . . . . and it will make you appreciate real talent and creativity!. Did I listen to the same CD's other reviewers did? It's even worse when compared to what Alice In Chains released. I did not like this set at all. These songs, as previously mentioned, are plodding. Jerry's vocals don't sound good, either. Boggy Depot was MUCH better than this. Get that CD if you want to hear what Jerry can do. .
