Damn...it's been almost a month.

Currently making their rounds on the stereo:

Seal--Seal (1994)

Pearl Jam--Yield and Vs.

Prodigy--The Fat of the Land

Ministry--Dark Side of the Spoon

Nine Inch Nails--The Fragile (disc 1), The Downward Spiral, and Pretty Hate Machine: I like all 3, but my favorite NIN CD is probably Broken. Now, if I could just find it.

Then, my tribute to Layne Staley and Alice in Chains:

Facelift: It's probably their cleanest sounding CD. It has the smooth glaze-like production. It's understandable--it came out in hair metal's last hurrah year of 1990. It still sounds great though.

Sap: I didn't like this when it first came out, probably because I expected a big heavy burst of grunge, rather than a stripped down EP. It grew on me though...and I appreciate it a lot more now.

Dirt: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. An absolutely fantastic CD. Kicks my lame ass.

Jar of Flies: A nice diversion from their standard fare. "Don't Follow" and "Nutshell" are outstanding.

Alice in Chains: To be honest, I didn't listen to this one as much as the others. I listened to it a couple of times this week, and I was really impressed. Layne wrote most of the lyrics for this CD (a job he usually shared with guitarist Jerry Cantrell), and he's a rather good songwriter. Not that he wasn't already, but this CD just showcases it.

I want Music Box, which is the 4-CD box set released by them 3 years ago. It has a couple of new songs, all the classic songs, several hard-to-get songs, and songs from soundtracks.
