Jar Of Flies
Description
While not their most definitive album (that honor belongs to 1992’s
Dirt), Jar of Flies represents an important step in Alice in Chains’ recording
career. Witness “I Stay Away,” which is made up of equal portions of hummable
guitar riffs and the spookier, scarier, more grinding elements that most fans
associate with Alice in Chains. This song most clearly delineates the
dichotomy that was a highlight of the band’s sound–Jerry Cantrell’s
listenable tunes and often gorgeous arrangements (just listen to what he does
with “Whale & Wasp”!) and Layne Staley’s growling vocals, which are just the
teeniest bit flat. The collection as a whole, brief as it is, has an elegance
that’s unusual for metal. –Genevieve Williams
