Description:

From 1999's Music Bank box set and its one-CD compilation offshoot, Nothing Safe: The Best of the Box to a 1996 Unplugged CD, the Alice in Chains titles continue to arrive even while the band--and especially reclusive frontman Layne Staley--stagnates. The quartet's heavy, dirgelike music is aging well, but the 10 songs that comprise Greatest Hits are the basic radio hits. Greatest Hits features no new music, no liner notes, no lyrics, no new photos, and no elaborate packaging. Still, for the rock fan, every song on the disc (five of them penned solely by talented guitarist Jerry Cantrell) is a bona fide hit, from the band's earliest, their 1990 breakthrough "Man in the Box," to the lush orchestration of "I Stay Away" to 1995's dark pop gem "Heaven Beside You." Greatest Hits provides a quick fix for newer fans, but with The Best of the Box boasting 9 of Greatest Hits' 10 songs, plus an additional 5 selections. Skip Hits and go for The Best. --Katherine Turman

3Greatest Hits from Alice In Chains  May 10, 2009
I guess I should have gone with "Nothing Safe". Only half of the smash hits from Alice in Chains are found in "Greatest Hits." Yes, Man in the Box and Rooster are featured here, but "Nothing Safe" has more songs. After hearing this CD, however, the next time I'm interested in a rock band, I'm going to have to buy all of their official albums. Alice in Chains is one of the ultimate grunge/metal bands of our time, and I don't think a compilation album, especially "Greatest Hits", is appropriate. I'll see if I can purchase "Facelift" and "Dirt" anytime soon.

3Pretty good.  Oct 20, 2008
Sound quality is great on my b&k / b&w 2.1 system. Loses stars because they put the censored version of Man in the Box instead of the standard that we all know and love. I see no reason for that at all.

Also, can't hear the violins in the stereo version of "I Stay Away."

2Best Move On  Jul 28, 2008
Trying to reduce AIC's output to 10 tracks is like trying to reduce Zep or The Stones to 20 tracks- hang it up. So what I was hoping for, since I have all their original cd's, was something sonically superior. What I got was a very uneven sound that moved from marginally dynamic with a briefly decent inter-song soundstage, to completely lifeless as though it was being streamed from a 128k mp3- ouch! And the results have been the same from system to system. And no- grunge is not about sounding shoddy.

Somebody with decent hearing/sacd mixing skills desperately needs to redo this one- or better yet do the whole catalog.

5Good tunes   Feb 27, 2008
This cd has a bunch of great songs don't you hate buying a cd,record album or casette tape for a song or two this is full of great songs

5Just what I wanted.  Feb 06, 2008
If you like Alice in Chains, or if you've never heard there music, this is the perfect collection for you.
