The newer Alice In Chains albums (post Layne Staley) are pretty good. Great, easy listening music. Think older people, late twenties & thirties, would enjoy it more than the younger folk.
My favourite album is still Black Gives Way To Blue.

Had a really good drum session on Saturday. First one this year, I believe.
Stamina and coordination were better than expected. I was still pretty sharp and freaking loud, haha.
