In the tradition of many an iconic rock star, Alice in Chains were as famous for their members’ drug habits as they were for their music. With this, a document of a performance that came right after years of hibernation, AIC let their softer acoustic sensibilities come to the fore, and in so doing gave the world an album that defined a state of consciousness. While the band’s harder rockier albums will always be more synonymous with the AIC moniker, Unplugged cannot be denied its stark, naked and revealing beauty. The band gloriously wallow in their signature self-pity, songs like ‘Sludge Factory’, ‘Brother’, ‘Rooster’ and the immaculate ‘Down in a Hole’ and ‘Would?’ translating into acoustic form without losing the spiritual essences of the originals. Unplugged is a simple record, but one that speaks volumes to the right listener. A landmark in AIC’s turbulent and chequered history.
