its a collection of songs that are ok and nice. wouldn't say a great solo album like Jerry Cantrell albums, or mad season or sumthing... but just it is what it is all stripped down. and thats fine.
Oh, I know I'm hijacking the thread but you hit on something, Sean, and that is that Jerry Cantrell's "Degradation Trip I and II" is an amazing pair of albums.

If any of you MISS Alice in Chains but don't have Degradation Trip I and II, bounce over to your favorite online store and buy it!!! I promise you, you will NOT regret it.
