    So much better than The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.  I need a few more listens before I can say where it stands in respect to Black Gives Way To Blue which I really like.
    this pretty much.  Although i really dug the title track and Never Fade a lot.

    I really liked The Devil Put Dinosaurs here, some great tracks on that one. Not sure why people hate on it so much.
    Yeah really. It's a very good album. Much, much better than an album from another Seattle band from that same year. 
    Soundgarden?  :tongue:
    My problem with Devil Put Dinosaurs was pretty much just about every song sounded exactly the same i thought.  I did however really like Phantom Limb.

    "Phantom Limb" and "Stone" are two of my favorite AIC songs!

    I'm really digging Rainier Fog after two listens through.  It's a workhorse of an album; nothing flashy, pretty consistent from start to finish, all around solid album.  I like it a lot more than TDPDH; that album had a few standouts for me, but overall I felt it was a little too mellow.  Rainier Fog lacks some diversity; it doesn't have any of those quintessential acoustic AIC tracks like their last two albums have (Voices, Your Decision, When The Sun Rose Again), even though I'm not a huge fan of those, they made the album a little more colorful.  I'm really happy with this new album and the direction they're heading in.  
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    After a couple days with the album I've found it's had much of the same effect that The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here did. It takes time to grow before it really starts to sink in. I'm finding it hard to throw on any one track, too. Pretty much any time I put TDPDH on I end up running through at least the entire back half. This one demands an even lengthier stay.

    There's a sense of extra gravitas on this one as well, owing to recent events (and the band has stated as much). It may not be a send-off for Seattle music, but it certainly feels like one.

    Referring to Lightning Bolt I believe. King Animal was released in 2012 If I’m not mistaken.

    i know he was referring to LB, trying to be funny.  Oh it was released in 2012, could have sworn it was 2013.  Oh well.

    This is a really good record - Red Giant and Fly especially, and the title track is really cool. Strong from start to finish though. Thank God Jerry Cantrell is still with us.
