In the Nineties, Alice in Chains wentmultiplatinum on a grunge-metal complete that was like the soundtrack to accompanist Layne Staley's heroin addiction, which dead him in 2002. On the band's aboriginal anthology in 14 years, awkward guitars are back, and they'recoupled with vocals by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and new accession William DuVall, anniversary of whom approximates Staley's tortured-zombie crooning. Thehard-charging "Check My Brain" is as hooky as the old hits, and the appellation clue - a Staley accolade featuring Elton John on piano - is appealing in a calm-after-the-storm way. What Black lacks aregreat tunes and a faculty of can't-look-away drama.
