This was a side project of Layne Staley in the mid-90s, and it screams Alice In Chains, at least, the more acoustic side of them. Layne's voice is never better than on here, and the quirky songwriting he perfected is evident on here.
"River of Deceipt" is the single, and that is one of the best songs, with its haunting, acoustic arrangements.
"I'm Above" is the best rocker on here, and I've heard it on Syrius radio.
There are plenty of highlights on here. I would say that if you are a fan of "Sap" or "Jar of Flies" by Alice In Chains, you will love this album too.
RIP: Layne
You were the best.
