Pros: GREAT songs by a GREAT band. Cons: 10 songs!! Poor packaging, no new tracks, retread of previous releases
Before I get to the actual review of this CD, let me first make it clear that I love Alice in Chains (AIC) and have every song, CD, and video that they have released. Plus the fact that they hail from Seattle (which I live just south of), makes my...
Pros: Rich, melodic, POWERFUL rock from one of the greatest bands of the 1990s. Cons: If you already own the albums... what's the point?
I remember the day well. It was April 20, 2002, and I returned home after a fun day out with my girlfriend. I'm very sure that I'll never forget what I heard when I turned on my computer. A friend of mine told me that Layne Staley had been found dead in...

If hits is what you want, hits is what you will get by jcsnowbizz ,Sep 17 '06
Pros: Addicting vocals, Amazing songs, *Angry Chair*, *I Stay Away* Cons: Generic greatest hit CD, no bonus unreleased songs
A typical greatest hit CD, you are basically getting what is in the title of the CD. Nothing special about it except the AMAZING music packed in one small CD.
Awesome and addicting vocals that will keep you coming back time and time again. This is NOT one of those CD's you will listen to once and put it back on the shelf.
I first heard this CD when I was on a road trip with my buddy and I immediately fell in love with this band.
alice in chains, greatest hits the comprehensive collection. by darkazza1 ,Apr 20 '04
Pros: Man In The Box, Rooster, Would, I Stay Away. Cons: not enough tracks.
Alice in chains were without doubt the most talented band of the seattle scene.But throughout their career it can be said they had a bad track record. over the years they only released 4 real albums and an ep. A shade dissapointing, though the material was almost always killer.
With the death of their lead singer Layne Stayley, It was finally over for A.I.C. The band had been on a long hiatus and the fans knew it was over long before Stayley's death. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell had released his first solo album and bassist Mike Inez had been touring with Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Scociety.
so when it comes too compilating the bands work in a greatest hits everyone will never be totally satisfied.
The album has most of the best tracks from their albums with classics: Man In The Box, Rooster and I Stay Away.
Overall the album is great, if a litte too short. However it must be said this is not Alice's first compilation album, and perhaps fans may find their favourites on one of the others. It still stands that ten tracks does not do this band credit.
