Long before the phrase, Seattle scene spoke of an impact that a new generation of musicians was having on rock music, Alice in Chains was struggling to be recognized in the shadow of bands that were more focused on image than craft. On FACELIFT, the band s major label debut, Alice in Chains proved that its fusion of blues, hard rock, and gritty imagery was a force to be reckoned with. While college radio stations ate up fare like It Ain t Like That and We Die Young, the song Man in a Box became a banner track that pushed the band into the forefront of heavy rotation on MTV and the playlists of mainstream rock radio stations. Vocalist Layne Staley s moody, dynamic vocals on Love, Hate, Love tell a chilling tale of a homicidal psychotic lamenting and musing over what he s done to his lover. On tracks such as Sea of Sorrow and I Can t Remember, guitarist Jerry Cantrell shows equally impressive skill in Sabbath-styled riffing, blues licks, and Hendrix-influenced solos. Alice in Chains made a brash musical and lyrical statement that gave the stale era of thrash and hair metal a much-needed facelift.
