Love it, the songs and the sounds are both great! Check My Brain is killer. Add me to the "wish Duvall was heard more", but otherwise great disc.

Second day of listening and I'm really liking Take Her Out. More of an optomistic tune IMO. Not quite as dark as the other songs. Great stuff!
Achtung! (They're on Kimmel again tonight for the second straight night)

Cantrell is the reason this band still exists. Do you know of any other non active band except classic rock artist`s from the 70`s that have gotten airplay for the last 14 years. Clear channel does not play artist music for free. try to the tune of 10 to 30k a month depending on the artist. Good for Jerry / he`s been at it the whole time.

Yeah, i've seen Jerry play in the same shitholes my band plays in over the years but he looked like he was having fun. That's all that matters...doing what you love.

It seemed that on "Tripod" there was a shift of Jerry singing alot more of the main vocal lines - and this album continues that even moreso. I hope they give William the reigns a little more in the future. He's got great vocal chops that aren't really displayed much on this album.ejecta":2tn3sm1n said:
"Last of My Kind" is one of my favorite songs along with Looking view, Acid bubble & Check My Brain(the opening riff, I can't get enough)
Tripod was Jerry getting frustrated with Layne's addiction, and he wrote in Layne's parts.
Bogey Depot was a continuation of that...but no Layne. Jerry still sounded like a backup / complimenting vocalist...without a lead. This album when I first heard it, and still, think it's missing that "something" that Jerry + Layne did.
Degradation Trip was when Jerry "found" his vocal sound, IMO. Layne wasn't really missing in the vocals...but would have been a nice addition kind of deal.
This album, it's no surprise that Jerry is taking more of a lead vocal approach, Jerry could do it all himself as proven in his last solo album. The addition of William was kind of a side-project by comparison to Jerry's solo stuff, but when AIC decided to reform, it made sense, since William seemed to fill in for Layne decently enough...and apparently, he's a hell of a musician/vocalist as well.
At least, that's my take on it.

Anyone remember who that vocalist was that toured with Jerry in 98-99. I saw them at Shoreline in Mountain View and that guy did a great job filling in on Layne's parts. Suprised they did not go with him.

Not sure, but I know William was touring with Jerry during Jerry's Bogey Depot tour (William was in his own band at the time and they were opening up for Jerry). Maybe that was 98-99...lol...
