Alice in Chains, “Jar of flies” (1994).

No special vinyl colour or added weight here. I realised I needed this, and I settled for whatever repress my vinyl pusher had on hand. I can upgrade later.

Foremost, this was a record that made me fall in love with the bass guitar, and realise that it’s not just a backing instrument played by also-ran guitarists. Not a profound insight, but I was a teenager.

    To me, it does what the best EPs do: there is no filler, it just goes from strength to strength. I don’t think I could pick a favourite song, it’s all solid.

        Same here. The difference between them is, I gave my black album to a second hand store recently because I cringe so hard listening to it.

        YMMV if you did less idiotic things to Metallica as a teenager than I did 😂
