Alice In Chains put a darker spin on \'80s hard rock, wielding a bubbling-tar grunge sound that anchored the \'90s alternative movement. “Would?” is rattled by guttural guitars and a shuddering bassline, while the psychedelic taffy-pull of \"Grind\" churns like a cement mixer. Hypnotic harmonies, led by late vocalist Layne Staley, mesmerize like a snake charmer on the percussion-heavy \"No Excuses\" and the metallic detonation of \"Them Bones.\" And the dirge-like \"Rooster,\" a tribute to guitarist Jerry Cantrell\'s Vietnam veteran father, is a searing personal statement.
