A beautiful paradox

Review Score: (10/10)
Alice In Chains---Unplugged. Yet it seamlessly worked out. This is a classic live album and is just as good, if not better than Nirvana's Unplugged attempt.
An important album that should be heard by all. It is very unfortunate about Layne Staley's death, but I guess all you can do is appreciate the good things he left on this earth.
I was also very disappointed to see AMG's ... very poor rating job on this album. I wondered after reading it, if I had picked up a different CD than the AMG reviewer. If you are a fan of AIC, this is an indispensable record. Such unexpected beauty and power.
