ALICE IN CHAINS – THE ESSENTIAL
This two disc set contains unplugged and live versions of their classic songs, along with the remastered originals.
RATING: FIVE STARS
The Bluetones are pleasant, more traditional British rock or Britpop. Nothing too exceptional here if you are not too into Britpop, but it is nice enough to listen to. There is a little switching up with their style and tempo.
