A dark doom metal album and a good addition to the AiC discography. Available on Youtube.
I'm sorry if this was late. I thought tbakeman would post this since I missed the first two due to my previous bam and the third one was posted by the guy who created the idea, so I assumed logically that he would post them all. Again, I apologize. And I was running errands and at the mall. Seven hour total. On a side note, I wanted to put on a heavy metal album by renowned actor Christopher lee, but I couldn't find the album on the internet.

Well...shit.
EDIT: but it has what might be the greatest album cover of all time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagn...s_of_Death
I need to find that.
In other news, I haven't listened to anything Alice in Chains in a while, so I'll definitely give this a go.

It's not satanic, it's one song against religion including satanic religion. One song. I may have overreacted when i said that. Even then, some Christians may not be offended by the song and may view it as a song against corruption of religion. Anyway, let's not bring this up again.

I'll give it another fair shake. To be honest, I didn't find it remarkable the first time.

In seriousness though, I wish I could listen to this one. I'm in a hotel in a different state and the internet connection here is deplorable. I do enjoy me some Alice in Chains, might have to include them in my chart. I had no idea they had a new release either. This is what the ALC is all about.

Hm this seems like an improvement since Black Gives Way to Blue in my opinion. I really like the concept of the title track. But so many of the tracks drag on with the shortest being just under five minutes. Some of the songs kinda mesh together too which really enhances the longevity at times. The album, which has some nice moments, would be much better if you shaved a couple minutes off of some of the songs. Alice in Chains is pretty cool though and you get what you'd expect if you've ever listened to them.
Nice choice, 65/100 after first listen.

Seriously though the record isn't divine or anything, it just sounds like a half-assed Therion record that features Christopher Lee at the end of the day.

Best ALC entry for me so far. Maybe because I have been listening to QOTSA and this reminded me a lot of their early albums. I know AiC has been around for ages but I have never heard anything of theirs. Maybe I need to get some more.
Best track: The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
Ranked inbetween Mogwai's Les Revenants and Hana Sumai's death is beautiful/withering coils
