    While there are a few lulls, none are glaringly offensive, and the band builds up so much good will with the stronger material that it’s easy to surrender again to these Chains.

    There’s still something oddly admirable about Alice In Chains’ stubborn refusal to change.

    What Black lacks are great tunes and a sense of can't-look-away drama.
