RMFN Notes:

"By far my favorite post-Layne Staley era Alice In Chains album. This album rips from start to finish and has the energy of a new band. For those that want a (slightly) more upbeat AIC, this album is for them. But don't get me wrong, there is plenty of broodiness and acoustic downers here, too. Fun fact: that's Elton John on piano in the album title track & closer." - Chris
