Fox’s Recommendations
I feel like “Man In A Box” is the track that really put Alice In Chains on the map as one of the cornerstones of Grunge. The song is heavy, with plenty of sludge on the riffs. When this is combined with those unmistakable vocals the result is raw emotion and darkness.
I also really love the talkbox guitar effect from Jerry Cantrell it adds a mechanical style edge to the song. This really is one of the most recognised Grunge songs out there!
Now then “Rooster” focuses much more on reflecting and is far more emotional than most of their other tracks. It showcases real depth way beyond just having heavy riffs. The song is actually about Jerry Cantrell’s fathers experience in Vietnam and that brings with it that real personal connection.
Fox’s Wildcard
While “Nutshell” was never released as a single it has always been loved by hardcore fans of the band. It has a fragile quality to it that makes it beautiful. The lyrics lay bare for all to see isolation, addiction and emotional struggle. The vocals give me goosebumps every time.
