Reviews Customer Reviews for Alice In Chains      TRIPOD DOG WAS A GOOD DOG....      Rating:      Me and my buddies used to hang out on these train tracks. At the time they were abandoned, and were an excellent place to hide out and chill, when we were in high school. There were a few interesting stops along these abandoned train tracks, but one spot was the one where we were frequently visited by the Tripod dog. Yep. Tripod dog, would take off from his owners yard and visit us often. And since most of the time, we were all somewhat off our tree's, alot of the time we would sing round offs to him, of Alice in Chains songs. While most people don't seem to regard the Tripod Dog album as highly as other AIC titles, I can't understand all of the one and two star reviews. I think this album has tons of great music on it, which showcases a few different facets of this band. The album is however, defined by three tracks. The first being HEAVEN BESIDE YOU, which in my opinion is THE best metal ballad of the nineties. It's slow and doomy, with great lyrics, and is presented in a way that instantly sounds like a classic. No one could ever nail the harmonizing vocals so perfectly, and it adds a sense of beauty to this dark ballad. The next, takes the two's harmonizing into a different gear, with the thunderous AGAIN. That track is creepy, but makes you want to pump fists, and really sort of dances on your brain at the same time. The first time I heard this was on the radio somewhere between being asleep and awake in the middle of the night. Never left my head. A total first class rocker. Tripod Dog totally dug it. And then theres OVER NOW. This tune is quiet and nice, a mellow groove, which sounds alot more positive in retrospect to the rest of the album. "It's over now, but I can see somehow..." The harmonies don't go to waste here either. Now unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't qualify on masterpiece terms like the rest of AIC discs did, but I don't think much of it is throw away. Some songs come off a little to abrasive in the mix, where this would otherwise be a really sublime kinda late night spin- but those three tracks alone are definitive nineties rock staples. And also I really always liked the artwork in the liner. I have this bit on vinyl, and the artwork is bigger and more defined, making this album a definite keeper for my collection. God bless Tripod Dog, wherever he is.     Customer Reviews for Alice In Chains Cd      A dramatic step backwards.      Rating:      After the perfection of Dirt, this disc is somewhat of a let down. Was the groups inner turmoil finally starting to affect the group? It shows. The songs seem to lack direction and a general lack of interest from the band. There are a some good songs on the disc. Not what I would call a must have.
