The exclusions of the latter two are justifiable, as they weren't that famous, but "We Die Young" was one of the band's most popular songs, and should have been included.ĭirt, the band's second album, is the best represented here. However, we aren't given anymore songs from Facelift, even though there were three more singles, "We Die Young", "Bleed the Freak" and "Sea of Sorrow".
This song is notable for Staley's cries of "FEED MY EYES!" in the chorus, and propelled them to stardom. Opening with a thundering, addictive riff and pounding drums, it kicks off the album with a bang. We get one song from Facelift, "Man in the Box" which is arguably the most popular song by the band, and their breakthrough hit. Why couldn't they just make a singles collection? They released tons of singles during their career.Īlice's first album, Facelift, was released in 1990. All of Alice's albums had more than ten songs, and their greatest hits album only has ten songs. With nine years of material, they managed to scrape together ten songs for their greatest hits. The Layne Staley era of the band consisted of three albums, two EPs and one unplugged album. With that being said, Alice in Chains' greatest hits collection is disappointing. However, greatest hits albums are always nothing but the most popular songs slapped together in one album, meant only to attract new fans, as current fans will already have their material. Recently, bands have added a new song to the hits album, so there can be something new in the album along with the previously released songs. Greatest hits collections are often a pain in the ass to review, because they're always nothing but the biggest singles from a band's career.
