Ready for Fall, and getting back Up! too

In a little more than a month, I'm going to drink a latte (or several, though not the same day) to help me feel Up! for Fall, and buy the soon-to-be-released album by Alice in Chains, "Black Gives Way to Blue".

"A Looking In View" is the superb hard-rock single (of more than 7 minutes in playing time) which I've been listening to often this summer. It's powerful, starts very strong, and the band, with a new singer, sounds as good as they did in the '90s when they had several hits, which I feel can best described as grunge-rock/hard-rock.

I bought the single on iTunes, after first listening to it when the band gave fans a free download. I deleted it that same day, and purchased the song later once I figured out how to do it. I hope other rock fans will buy this wonderful hard-rocking single.

It's only been the recent years that I've been a true Alice in Chains fan, first getting excited every time I heard one of their songs on the radio, then buying their greatest hits CD about two and a half years ago.

Here's the link to an Alice in Chains website. You must only click "Yes" on the website if you are 18 (or older), and must click "No" if you are under 18 because there is "Explicit Content" in the music video. Also, in my opinion, this video, which is with the song "A Looking in View" is hard to watch if a scary, slightly violent movie bothers you; it's tense and almost frightening scenes could bother some viewers. But in my personal opinion, it's an outstanding video to go along with this excellent rock song!

One last thing: the song "A Looking In View" will be in my Top 100 rock songs but I don't know when my list will be finished... possibly next year.

I'm glad you stopped by here.
