Rating:  - Raw, loud and powerful yet sophisticated.
Facelift is the first Alice In Chains Album to be released, it is a hard rocking, grungy and energetic album thats filled with great hooks and excellent riffs. Alice In Chains were probably the heaviest of the Seattle grunge groups cause they were more metal along with Soundgarden and both Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell were big Black Sabbath fans and their influence shows here. Facelift also contains several of AIC's signature tracks, such as We Die Young, Man In The Box and Bleed The Freak. Other ... Read More
Rating: - Firing out of the Gates !!!!!!!!!!!
Alice's first album was an all out onslaught. They really did go all out on their first record. With a little bit of flavor from every song. You get the heavy, you get the punk and even a little funk. Like tracks "I Know Somethin (bout you)" you get the essence of a ZZ Top flavor blended in ........

This is an excellent debut, the only reason I didn't ... Read More
Rating: - A Must Have for Any Metal Rock Fan
Facelift was Alice in Chains first release and possibly their best and it was the album that took "grunge" to the mainstream. They were grouped with rocker friends Nirvana and Pearl Jam -- the other favorites of the Seattle scene. The single "Man in the Box" had a great groove to it with it's driving crunchy guitars and singer Layne Staley's interesting distinctive vocals. It probably is the song most recognized by people. Staley sings so clear that you can hear every painful lyric, unlike many alternative/metal ... Read More
Rating: - Godfathers Of Grunge
I'll never forget listening to these guys on Mtv's Headbangers Ball, while Bruce Dickinson introduced the next video from an unknown band with a puzzled look on his face: "Alice In Chains, `We Die Young?'" And from then on I was hooked. AIC took me from a thrashing metalhead to a dirty, I-don't-give-a-f-ck attitude sort of kid, much different than the metalheads. Hard to explain.
But this album is raw and powerful, lyrically and musically. Yeah, you can hear a few songs on the radio over and over again ... Read More
