JFC, that's ridiculous.

Here's small snippet of a review of the album...

In the words of guitarist/vocalist/band leader Jerry Cantrell, the disc has a “bunch of dark, slow, creepy tunes,” and the mood is set appropriately on the crawling opener “All Secrets Known.” As he does on most of the album, Cantrell handles lead vocal duties; in fact, William DuVall, who stepped in for Staley when the band reformed in 2006, is barely audible. Song two, “Check My Brain,” a more up-tempo number powered by Cantrell’s deep, bending riff, features Cantrell and DuVall harmonizing in a way that recalls vintage Alice. It’s not until track three, “Last of My Kind,” that DuVall takes center stage and shows he is doing a lot more than playing the role of Layne Staley. His vocals are full of fire and personality, virtually leaping out of the speakers—backed by a powerful sonic assault that makes one wonder why Alice got stuck with the grunge label early in its career.

I don't give a **** about the review. I own the record, know the producer and can tell the difference (clearly) between Jerry's voice and William's voice.

To say that William took a backseat is just outright stupid.

You aren't the only one who owns the record.

I didn't need to look up a review to know that Cantrell's vocals dominate that album.

Hey, Dipshit, go back and re-read my post: I stated that it was nothing more than a Jerry Cantrell solo project.

But to claim that William took a backseat, especially when he co-wrote many of the songs, is just plain ****ing stupid.

Like you.

I wish I could find my cover for the album but I'm betting I could count the songs credited with DuVall as a co-writer with 3 fingers or less.
