Alice in Chains--Jar of Flies (1993/Sony)
Rating--7.1
**U.S. Sales Certification--Multi-Platinum 2**
Another EP in the 'Sap' vein. A mainly acoustic offering, with some electric lead work. Not as dark and brooding
(the band's strength)
as 'Sap,' which plays a large part in why it is not as good.
A mesmerizing and winding chorus section moves through "Rotten
Apple," and "Don't Follow" is a somber piece. A light feel and flow gained "No Excuses" a little airtime, and both
"I Stay Away" and "Whale & Wasp" are good--with the latter being an instrumental with some nice guitar work.
TRACK LIST: Rotten Apple/Nutshell/I Stay Away/No Excuses/Whale & Wasp/Don't Follow/Swing On This
