Well I think I'll probably like it eventually but now I don't so much. I know that Jerry wrote most of the stuff (and he is an incredible guitarist) but Layne is really the focal point of band and what makes Alice in Chains so great. The new guy is good for sure but he is no Layne. Imo Layne is the best rock vocalist since the 80s and is up there with the greatest vocalists ever. Probably my favourite modern (if you can call it that) vocalist ever along with Maynard from Tool.
Video of them two singing together
They sang that together a lot of times in 93.
