Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― System, Wednesday, 22 April 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link
well its nice to see that everything got voted for at least once.
― borntohula, Wednesday, 22 April 2009 23:12 (fifteen years ago) link
the top 4 are about right. i'd put dam that river or the title track at number 5.

Is it me, or do those multi-tracked vocals on this record sound quite a lot like modern autotuned vocals?

No way - Neil is right! Especially on "Rain When I Die" on those choruses! Very good call.

Ha ha glad it's not just me! And a good turn-out for this poll...
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Thursday, 23 April 2009 09:38 (fifteen years ago) link
wasn't bad. at least some people voted for the non singles :)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 12:20 (fifteen years ago) link
what did you vote for?
― original bgm, Thursday, 23 April 2009 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link
this is ILM, we don't have to prove that we've heard more than just the singles

"Rain When I Die"
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 15:03 (fifteen years ago) link
good call. almost voted that myself! but I think the singles are very strong on this one.
― original bgm, Thursday, 23 April 2009 15:59 (fifteen years ago) link
but man, how ugly is that cover???

lol @ me calling Alice in Chains "first-generation grunge"
did God Smack lose out in votes because of a shitty unoriginal band taking it as their name?

10. "Iron Gland" – 0:43
totally forgot there was some kind of short placeholder track on this album -- was it a skit? amp noise?
― Excuse Me While I Pimp My Al Shipley (some dude), Thursday, 23 April 2009 16:40 (fifteen years ago) link
it's basically amp noise and some yelling. but I just looked the album up on wikipedia, and this was on there:# Tom Araya: vocals on "Iron Gland"
what?!?
― original bgm, Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:03 (fifteen years ago) link
it tells you on the album credits on the cd that it's tom araya. You guys just had taped from a mates cd copy? ;)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:06 (fifteen years ago) link
what album was that "alice mudgarden" song on? i thought it was a bonus on dirt or something.

I love Sap. I wrote elsewhere how I searched over Glasgow for that. When it got reissued along with Jar Of Flies , all the critics jizzed over Jar of Flies but it was not a patch on Sap to me.I still have my original cd of Sap and the vinyl of Sap/JoF.

i knew he produced, but i've never heard the album, so i didn't know he sung on it too. cool, i'll check that out.
― borntohula, Thursday, 23 April 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
he sings on the vid i linked to above

I feel like I've asked this before, but are there many other albums that end with a single? "Would?" always seemed like an odd choice to close things out (although I like how it's kind of an abrupt ending, matching the sudden attack of "Them Bones" at the beginning).
― Lie Bot, Thursday, 23 April 2009 21:54 (fifteen years ago) link
I always assumed it finished with an upbeat song to show the light at the end of layne's tunnel of despair or something

didnt see that poll, but would have vote Down In The Hole..

I was surprised it didn't get more votes.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link
everyone went for the hit singles...happens all the time..
― Zeno, Thursday, 23 April 2009 23:02 (fifteen years ago) link
i always felt like "Would?" was just kind of a bonus track on the album, since it had already been on the SIngles soundtrack and a hit off that a few months earlier.
― beast of the admin log (some dude), Thursday, 23 April 2009 23:05 (fifteen years ago) link
seeing this poll made me miss that song,so i downloaded and listening to it now after many years i didnt...too bad so many future imatators ruined the fun a their sound a bit..
― Zeno, Thursday, 23 April 2009 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link
down in the hole i mean
i think that might have been a uk single
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 24 April 2009 11:15 (fifteen years ago) link
i think angry chair was a uk single?

I'm not sure if I remembered to vote, but if I did I def. voted for one of the top 3...
I'm kind of shocked that Them Bones beat out Rooster, to be honest...

big airplay single over here = uk lurker votes?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 24 April 2009 14:16 (fifteen years ago) link
them bones got airplay in the u.s. but i'm pretty sure both would? and rooster dwarfed it...
i mightve actually voted for bones on the basis that it was out of the big four the one that seemed the farthest away from being played out...
― art-ghetto superstar (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 24 April 2009 14:26 (fifteen years ago) link
acrually on 'right turn' chris cornell comes in at 0:45. i always loved how that song features such a range of vocals. kicks off with jerry, then we get cornell singing a verse, then layne singing a verse. i really love this band.
― Charlie Howard, Friday, 24 April 2009 18:41 (fifteen years ago) link
by the way, 'dirt' has an incredible cover
