About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Between the end of 1993 and a performance for MTV Unplugged in the spring of 1996, Alice in Chains performed no concerts -- they didn't even support the release of their eponymous third album with a minor tour. There's a variety of reasons for their inactivity -- primarily it's due to the health of certain members -- but the lack of concerts made the Unplugged performance seem special. During the concert, Alice in Chains drew from their three albums and two EPs, offering new, more reflective arrangements for harder songs like "Would?" and virtually re-creating the original versions of "Got Me Wrong" and "No Excuses." Throughout the album, the group sounds tight and professional -- on the basis of this performance, it's hard to believe that they hadn't played together for nearly three years -- but it doesn't offer anything that the albums don't already. The acoustic arrangements of the harder songs sound like novelties, and the rest sound like rehashes of their previous work, only without much energy. Again, it's a case of an Unplugged album that is designed to attract the band's core audience, which makes it a fairly entertaining effort that is essentially just an official bootleg.

March 05, 2007: I never used to care too much about the band as they just seemed like a mediocre grunge band on the surface. However, after I had the chance to listen to this whole thing I was made instantly a fan of their music. It was then that I realized what substance and beauty lie in their music and lyrics. I recommend this record to anyone and everyone that listens to music, regardless of the genre.

June 15, 2006: If you are into Grunge or Alice In Chains this is perfect for you, and even if you aren't I still highly reccomend it. This performance could definitely turn someone into an Alice In Chains fan if they aren't already. I Would definitely say this is the best unplugged ever. I prefer it even over Nirvana's unplugged.
