    Absolutely loving this album now - it's a grower. Deaf Ears Blind Eyes, the title track, Red Giant, Fly - all classic Alice songs. It's just great that Jerry Cantrell is still around and writing music.

    I've been through this album a few times, CD in my car, CD at home and LP at home.

    For me, it keeps getting better with each listen. Jerry's guitar playing is as solid as any other AIC album and the songwriting is a cut above DPDH.

    There's a much harder edge to the songs on this record, for me. Some absolutely top drawer tunes on this one. If PJ can match this album quality-wise they'll be doing very well. 

    I'm just really glad that Cantrell is still around. He writes an absolutely killer riff. I think this is one of their best records, and definitely the best one with Duvall.

    Agreed. This one sounds better, production-wise to me, too.

    DPDH has some great tracks but it wears on my ears and brain.
