Facelift (studio album) by Alice In Chains

Good early grunge album, much better in the first half than the second, my favorite tracks are We Die Young, Sea Of Sorrow and Love, Hate, Love.

Took me over a decade to really appreciate and enjoy this album. Used to only like it for We Die Young, Man in the Box and Bleed the Freak. Now, I hear Layne giving it his all on every song and lots of unexpected twists and turns in the music (e.g. the chorus in Sunshine is not what you'd expect from the rest of the song).

Early AIC, full of classics. Doesn’t get enough love, at least here.

Some may not agree but this is the best Alice in chains album. While a couple songs arn't great, the other songs more than make up for it. This is a solid album and captures more of what the band really is to me in a time before they were just a little too polished

Not closely as good as Dirt, but carries a lot of the same qualities, that make this band so extremly special.

Great start, it loses quality after the first songs. It's a shame because there are three great songs at the beginning.

I personally prefer this to Dirt. It may not be too consistent, but it has some great grunge songs.
Best tracks: Man in the Box, It Ain't Like That, Bleed the Freak
Worst tracks: Sunshine, Real Thing

What Bork said. Inconsistent, but shows plenty of promise. I prefer Dirt and their s/t release.

The singles are really good the rest is inconsistent but still a good debut from one of the best band of the 90s
