陰鬱なヘヴィ・グルーヴと唯一無二のメロディ・センスを併せ持つ彼らの、5年ぶりとなる超待望の最新作。地元シアトルへの想いを詰め込んだ1枚で、レコーディングもシアトルで行われている。(1995年リリースの3rdアルバムと同スタジオ!)さらに研ぎ澄まされたアリチェン・サウンドが今、世界に轟く。 (C)難波店:真志田 健次

Audio Mixer: Joe Barresi. Recording information: Casa De Cantrell; Dark Horse Studios; Henson Studios, Los Angeles, CA; Rock Falcon Studio, Franklin, TN; Studio X, Seattle, WA. Consider Rainier Fog as something as a homecoming for Alice in Chains. Named after the heavy mist that comes rolling down from nearby Mount Rainier, the album finds Alice in Chains recording in Seattle for the first time since the group reunited in 2008 with William DuVall replacing the late Layne Staley as lead vocalist. Alice in Chains are aware of the significance of their return to Seattle, the place where they formed and rose to fame, so they wrote a tribute to all of their compatriots in the grunge scene, but that title track obscures how the album as a whole feels as if this incarnation of the band is exceedingly comfortable in its own skin. By this point, this latter-day version of Alice in Chains has recorded as many albums as the original lineup and has been together nearly twice as long, which means there's an easy, evident chemistry to these ten songs. Alice in Chains smartly decide to lean into this coziness, never attempting something new -- the closest to a new wrinkle would be the ballad "Maybe," which has a bit of an '80s AOR bent -- and focusing on their interplay and craft instead. It's a gambit that pays off. Rainier Fog is, from front to back, a strong and lean record, one that benefits from its familiarity because the standard tricks -- the grinding guitars and droning harmonies -- now seem to carry not a whit of angst. This is music made from a band that has been through the wringer and is happy to settle down and play, and there's an undeniable appeal to that open heart, particularly when it's camouflaged underneath such nominally heavy music. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

5年ぶりとなるこのアルバムは、前2作とは打って変わって地元シアトルでのレコーディングを敢行。ウィリアム・デュヴァルが加入してから今作で3枚目を数え、聴けばすぐにそれとわかるアリチェン節の暗黒メロディーや、地を這うようなヘヴィー・グルーヴとウィリアムの声が、ひとつの塊となってリスナーに襲い掛かる。シンガロング必至の"Maybe"、故郷に対する思いしたためた"All I Am"にも胸アツ!
