This is easily alice in chains's worst album. i was worried from the start when they released the
one you know, such a boring and uninspired song. so far under was better but it felt like a left-
over song from the previous two albums, which are both miles ahead of ranier fog. never fade flat
out made me cancel my pre-order. after listening to the album on its release, i felt like only the
title track and red giant stood out, so far under is meh, and the rest just blend in to each other
and dont catch you at all. the songwriting is extremely lacking, with the bulk of this album
sounding like filler. its like an album comprised solely of "take her out agains" and "nothing
songs". never fade has so much potential with its chorus, which is actually a pretty good. but
thats the only redeeming factor of the song. there are not many redeeming factors for this album,
and i would suggest fans to just skip this one. |
