as a band - i still own copies of dirt, jar of flies, and the self-titled album. even bought the tab books for dirt and the s/t and learned to play the bulk of those albums. never owned the unplugged album but heard it more than enough times. all i know from 'facelift' is 'man in the box'.

bought 'boggy depot' on release. maybe i need to pull it out again to try a re-evaluation but from what i remember it was just another sludgy 90s rock album. cantrell may well be cool as ice cream but that doesn't mean his output gets a carte blanche just because he was in a seminal band back in the day (at least not to my ears).

saw a few clips of staley on his own and to me it seemed he was doing his best to channel AiC through whatever backing band he had going and it just wasn't there.
