with Dirt
Two songs on the recent his t
Action Hero Soundtrai k contin
ued that sound, typified by songs
that would make the listener
afraid to answer the door or walk
on the street at night
Several mush magazines hon
ored this Dirt sound by naming
Alice in Chains the best heavy
metal band of 100 t. and several
singles from that album still
receive a huge amount of air
play
Alice in C hains were it they
were destined to be the next

SILKWORM In the Wes)
(07) 3 \fl lion The beginning
of this disc sounds like
Silkworm is Seattle's version of
Pavement: noisy, |OJiy rock
i «j with a layei of grunge
Then halfway through they
prove this by blatantly lifting a
Pavement guitar riff on "Raised
by Tigers " Ear candy If you

two different dtscs might be

STEVE FISK Over ond Thru

This album is subtitled A Ten
Year Retrospective and con
tains samples of bis music in
the 1980s. including some

LABEL Atlanta
mg's X return to the Imrd
roi k m eiie with ii lwng The
new album, Itofiman. turns
up the power .1 notch while
reluming tiuit dassii King's X feel
to their music king's X piirted
wavs with longtime producer
Sain Tny lor for this, tilth, outing.
Taking the reigns of production
is Brendan O'Brien, is know 11 for
his work with Pearl Jam and
Stone Temple Pilots
liven though O'Brien produced
Pearl Jam and S I P. lie did not try
to mold king s X in their image
No grunge tvpe changes were
introduced In short, lie didn't
commercialize the hand and
make it sound like every thing
oIms out there.
As for the album specifics, the
title track is especially < runchy
Mt*a\ v riffs and a full sound help
King's X take hat k the scepter ol
power from the rest of the
rock'n'roll world and shove it
down "alternative" bands'
throats
"f lies and Blue Skies," "Black
the Sk\ " and "Sunshine Rain”
are great King's X mood tunes,
superior groove with just enough
hard edge to keep you moving,
or to make the drive in your car
less stressful
There's something for every
one on this album even a pret
ty good live rendition of Jinii
Hendrix’s “Munir Depression.'"
