I dig it. I think it's a good come back record that doesn't reek of the usual money-making motives, or "can't let go" attitude. I have a feeling that their next one will be significantly better (if there is a next one).

The songs, for the most part, are great. "Last of My Kind" is the weakest for sure. "Private Hell", "When the Sun Rose Again", and "All Secrets Known" are my favorites. "Acid Bubble" is so fucking filthy and sludgy... Love it. In general, I dig how slow and grimey everything sounds.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Duvall's vocals on their own, but blended with Jerry's, I think he does a good job of doing the AIC harmony sound. It's actually pretty scary how much it sounds like the old stuff at times. I was happy to find out that Cantrell does the majority of the lead vocals though. Great hearing his guitar sound again as well. He's probably my favorite modern rock guitarist (I certainly rip off his soloing style more than any other).

All in all, a very sincere effort, and that's coming from someone who really didn't want to like it, as I'm a HUGE Layne Staley fan. A pleasant surprise.
