So 2009 brought many things, were any of them any good though? I mean whats good about a recession? NOTHING. With all the recession stuff and the vast amount of celeb deaths in 2009, where is all the good stuff? Was there actually any?
Well yes, there was one GREAT thing to happen in 2009 and no it was not Rage Against The Machine beating Simon Cowell to the UK X-mas number one, neither was it channel 4 announcing it's plans to mercifully kill off Big Brother in 2010. As much as all that was music to my ears, another thing was quite literally music to my ears.....
...The return of Alice In Chains.
And what a return it was, after years of having to really search for some decent music rather than have to put up with all that other so called music shoved down my throat by 'Kerrang!' and other forms of the mainstream media, finally they gave the time to recognise a REAL musical force. If you havent yet heard the latest AIC album, I recommend that you give it a chance, it is quite simply a MASTERPIECE!!!!
Although this album doesn't have the tremendous talent of Ex-vocalist Layne Staley on it, the new co-singer Duvall, does pretty well considering the shoes he has had to fill. Jerry Cantrell has struck song writing GOLD with this album.
So thankyou Jerry and the boys, you let REAL music rear is head once again in the mainstream world of MUSIC. Let there be more in 2010....
