 Which artists should we use to start this journey? We're going to start a band whose journey has all the key parts. That of course is "Sleze", I mean "Alice N' Chains", I mean "Alice in Chains" (it took them a while to land a name).
 
 ### Man in the Box - Alice in Chains (1990)

 I feel like you can hear the metal roots of grunge strongest with Alice in Chains. Other central grunge bands step further away from the likes of Motley Crew and Poison, but Alice in Chains' members were glam metal artists first, and I hear that chuggy metal energy here in "Main in the Box". But the vocal style is what really steps outside of those roots and tugs it into its own direction.

 An iconic element of Alice in Chains is how they make use of two vocalists, Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley. Here they do some call and response. You'll regularly catch them harmonizing and generally just leveraging two voices in a way that is important to the band's sound.
 
 ### Rooster - Alice in Chains (1992)

 Distorted guitars is an obvious common effect. But you know what else is really common in the grunge sound that isn't nearly as common in its metal/punk roots? Modulation. Chorus, phaser, flanger, univibe, wah... the family of effects that put waveforms on your waveforms to thicken up the sound. What's used in the intro to "Rooster"? Probably a flanger. But you're free to look up gear pages where people debate exactly which brand of mod is employed.
 
 This song both sounds far from any metal influences, and also has some deeply metal riffs in it. I think it's lovely.
 
 ### Would? - Alice in Chains (1992)

 I'll give you the kkeleton key to most Alice in Chains songs. What's any particular song about? Probably heroin. Vocalist Layne Staley struggled with drug addiction, and many of the lyrics are intertwined with that reality. There's a key event at the origins of grunge music, and that's the death by heroin overdose of Seattle musician Andrew Wood in 1990. The song "Would?" is a direct reflection on Wood's death.
 
 ### Nutshell - Alice in Chains (1994)

 I get that grunge has these metal/punk roots, but if I'm honest the bits that have stuck with me over the years are the softer bits. When the band can go harder, but chooses not to. These are not the power ballads of glam rock yesterday; they're hauntingly vulnerable. Here with "Nutshell" we start with an acoustic guitar and end with a wailing electric guitar solo. The lyrics are dark. Remember your skeleton key.
 
 ### River of Deceit - Mad Season (1995)

 Layne Staley struggled so much with his demons that the band couldn't tour. In rehab, Staley and some other musicians (from Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, and others) connected to form a side project that became Mad Season. 
 
 It occurs to me that I only indirectly had any albums connected to Alice in Chains. I had the [Singles Soundtrack](https://open.spotify.com/album/58BEJ01sL8wK5LV3TPyngC?si=T_iCjR6GREeFM6b18jubUg) on CD, and Mad Season's [Above](https://open.spotify.com/album/24eGklcEnMaVcGXzmJSeoD?si=BMvtSjGxTT6FG9nxYjIduw) on cassette.

 Formalizing the journey from hard to soft is the tradition of the MTV Unplugged performance. Alice in Chains took this opportunity as their first gig in two-and-a-half years. And it's a real treasure. Although it was one of their last, and Layne Staley died in 2002 of a drug overdose.
