Wow I made this thread ages ago. I picked up Dirt and the self-titled album soon after posting this. Dirt is in my top 10 favourite albums now.

I Simply can't pick a best album out, the best i can do is throw all the songs in one list and put them under categories for different moods, which is annoying not to a have a favourite song, but still i got a favourite band out of it all.

I saw them in Milwaukee... and oh my god... it was the greatest night of my life... William DuVall (the new lead singer) was AMAZING! If i closed my eyes I could've sworn it was Layne! I was impressed. They did some acoustic songs and had a slideshow of pics and videos of Layne. I cried! I was in the front row for the entire first half until i got crushed (i'm little) and then stood at the back, but could still see pretty well. At one point, I could've reached out and touched Jerry Cantrell... yummy... he had this amazing beard then! It looked surprisingly good. The opening band was "Hurt" and they are appropriately named because my ears bled from the volume of their cymbals... jeez... i've started hearing them on the radio now... i like some of their songs... but they're very repetitive and they dressed like women (tight jeans and low-cut shirts) and their lead singer was very obnoxious and over-acted A LOT! (reminded me a lot of James Hetfield, but not in a good way) so yeah... i heard a rumor that AIC will be at free ozzfest this year... but probably is just a rumor... if you EVER get the chance to see them TAKE IT!!! Nothing will EVER top that night!

Dirt is a ****ing good album, and pretty metallic too

i was lucky enough to catch them when they were on tour for Dirt....great show....i only recently realized that thier unplugged album is one of the best cd's ever.

I seen them in dublin last year they were supporting avenged seven fold and metallica. Yes yoy heard me supporting avenged seven fold which was a f*cking joke. But all that aside they were really good.

I just watched their unplugged video, i didn't much like the album. The video is Great! i love actually seeing them playing it's ten times better then the album.

I think they should change their name and start again, but still keeping AIC songs and keep tributing them to layne, but they should have a new name and see what they can produce with w/.

I still love this band, I've not heard the new singer yet though. One thing that Pis*ed me off about them was the re-release of the "Nothing Safe" album, On the song "Grind" They've taken out a lot of Laynes vocals and just left Jerrys. Sure he has a good voice but the song is just not the same (or as good) and I have trouble not thinking of that version now when I listen to the real one. Maw. Other than that, they're all good.
