I hate when I'm just about to tell the Internet something and then forget what I was going to say.

I just listened to the new Alice In Chains album here, and was pretty blown away; it's at least as good as the last one they did with Layne and possibly better. There's some really sick and twisted riffs on there, as well as some awesome acoustic stuff. The new singer's voice blends with Jerry's in a similar way to Layne's, but he's definitely not trying to just copy Layne. Very cool.

The new Slayer album is really good too; it's a little more varied than their last one. They do the metal/hardcore hybrid better than anybody, but you also wanna hear slower, spookier stuff, and they deliver a good dose of both on the new CD.

Also, I just think it's cool that bands I listened to in 1990 on my Walkman while walking to high school are still relevant.
