Alice In Chains - Nothing Safe - The Best Of The Box
Grade: B
By Jess Redmon
 Alice In Chains helped to define 90s rock with the grunge movement, along side
Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Muhoney and other important
Seattle institutions. In their pseudo-best of collection, which previews a box set in the
making, Alice In Chains collect some of their best work, some new additions and live
material. Included is the first single, "Get Born Again," a new track which represents AIC
in the sound of their glory days of "Facelift" and "Dirt." This best of collection is for the
hardcore fans and the people who have never bought an AIC record. Included are some
of their best tracks ("Man In The Box," "Down In A Hole," "Would?"), as well as a live
version of "Rooster" from the BBC, the original demo for "We Die Young" and the classic
"What The Hell Have I" from the not-so-classic movie "Last Action Hero." Alice In Chains
have put out some of the best rock songs in the 90s and "Nothing Safe - The Best of the
Box" shows how important Alice In Chains have been. Although there really isn't
anything too impressive on here that isn't on their records, a good representation of a
great rock band.
