Phantom Limb by Alice in Chains - I talked about this album last month when I posted my favorite track on the album, Scalpel. It finally felt like the work of a band willing to let go and be what it is now even if most fans are stuck in 1992. I do get a few chuckles with the “Devil Put Them Bones Here” quips.
I am going to go out on a limb here and admit that this album is excellent. At first, it seemed muddled with a bland layer of sameness. It was an album that lacked :pop". But the album has really grown on me over the past month as some songs started to shine through. One of which is Phantom Limb, which has this pounding, driving riff underlying the morass. Despite being the longest track on the album at over seven minutes, it feels tight and moves along much more quickly than one would expect. If you have not listened to the album yet, I definitely recommend giving it a few spins.
