Un peu plus tôt dans la même année, paraissait la compilation Nothing Safe, aussi indigente pour les fans qu’incomplète pour ceux qui cherchaient une simple introduction à Alice In Chains. Paru en octobre 1999, ce coffret 3 CD est, en revanche, l’idéal, pour (re)découvrir la musique de ce groupe précieux. En même temps qu’il fait office de best of très exhaustif, n’oubliant ni les tubes évidents ni les merveilles méconnues, Music Bank est assorti d’une quinzaine de titres inédits (live, démos, versions alternatives, inédits) qui intéresseront les fans du groupe et peut-être même les simples curieux.   Si l’ensemble commence avec « Get Born Again », l’un des deux derniers titres enregistrés par le groupe en 1998 (l’autre étant « Died », qui clôt le troisième disque), il suit une trame chronologique qui permet de saisir l’évolution musicale sur une décennie. Les premiers titres, la plupart inédits, montrent un groupe jeune et que seul tient le plaisir de jouer, capable de morceaux burlesques comme le hard/blues « I Can’t Have You Blues », ou le country/metal délicieusement redneck de « Queen Of The Rodeo » (avec un Layne Staley outrant l’accent sudiste). Le groupe se cherche encore, tâtonnant entre parodie de hard rock (« Whatcha Gonna Do ») et premières vraies réussites, comme le tube évident « Man In The Box ». Sans être vraiment captivants, les inédits de la première période montrent un groupe à la jubilation communicative et on se laisse volontiers prendre au refrain irrésistiblement mélodique et entraînant de « Social Parasite », morceau pourtant peu mémorable. Suit une sélection des meilleurs morceaux du premier album, Facelift, dont deux titres sont présents dans leur version démo – celle de« Bleed The Freak » étant d’ailleurs supérieure à celle de l’album.   On retrouve ensuite tout le meilleur d’Alice In Chains, morceaux issus des EP acoustiques Sap (1992) – dont le superbe « Right Turn », enregistré sous le nom d’Alice Mudgarden avec les chanteurs de Mudhoney (Mark Arm) et Soundgarden (Chris Cornell) – et Jar Of Flies (1994), entremêlés avec les titres du chef d’œuvre Dirt (1992), tous présents sur ce coffret. Des démos (celle de « Rooster », notamment, également meilleure que la version de l’album) et des inédits parachèvent le sombre panorama de l’ère 92-94, marquée par l’enfoncement de Layne Staley dans l’addiction à l’héroïne. La suite arrive très logiquement avec le morbide et décadent « Grind », qui introduit la sélection de 6 titres du suffocant et glaçant troisième album (Alice In Chains, 1995). 3 titres de l’Unplugged, autre chef d’œuvre du groupe, annoncent la fin de la rétrospective en même temps que sa conclusion logique, le terrible « Died », dernier morceau enregistré par Staley, en 1998. Sur un riff sabbathien, Staley, d’une voix venue de son intime enfer, y chante une confession bouleversante, évoquant sa solitude et son dépérissement depuis la mort de sa compagne. Ainsi, fidèle à l’histoire du groupe, la rétrospective s’achève par le tragique d’un homme aussi mort que vif, accablé par le deuil et dévasté par l’addiction.   Des jeux – musicaux – innocents et enfantins d’une fin d’adolescence jusqu’au désespoir d’adultes victimes de leur « inadaptation » au monde, la musique d’Alice In Chains a illustré le profond malaise d’une large partie de la jeunesse, incapable de choisir entre le jeu et l’oubli ou le « bon sens » adulte, dans un monde ressenti comme ennuyeux et hostile. Tout le mérite de ce coffret est là : rendre évident combien l’œuvre d’Alice In Chains et la voix de Staley témoignent d’un ressenti commun à toute une partie de la jeunesse des années 90 à nos jours. De même que l’ont fait, aussi, Nirvana et Cobain.

PS - Le coffret comprend aussi 3 pistes multimedia, qui le clôturent : « Get Born Again », « Jar Of Flies » et « The Journey ».

Chronique

Un peu plus tôt dans la même année, paraissait la compilation Nothing Safe, aussi indigente pour les fans qu’incomplète pour ceux qui cherchaient une simple introduction à Alice In Chains. Paru en octobre 1999, ce coffret 3 CD est, en revanche, l’idéal, pour (re)découvrir la musique de ce groupe précieux. En même temps qu’il fait office de best of très exhaustif, n’oubliant ni les tubes évidents ni les merveilles méconnues, Music Bank est assorti d’une quinzaine de titres inédits (live, démos, versions alternatives, inédits) qui intéresseront les fans du groupe et peut-être même les simples curieux.   Si l’ensemble commence avec « Get Born Again », l’un des deux derniers titres enregistrés par le groupe en 1998 (l’autre étant « Died », qui clôt le troisième disque), il suit une trame chronologique qui permet de saisir l’évolution musicale sur une décennie. Les premiers titres, la plupart inédits, montrent un groupe jeune et que seul tient le plaisir de jouer, capable de morceaux burlesques comme le hard/blues « I Can’t Have You Blues », ou le country/metal délicieusement redneck de « Queen Of The Rodeo » (avec un Layne Staley outrant l’accent sudiste). Le groupe se cherche encore, tâtonnant entre parodie de hard rock (« Whatcha Gonna Do ») et premières vraies réussites, comme le tube évident « Man In The Box ». Sans être vraiment captivants, les inédits de la première période montrent un groupe à la jubilation communicative et on se laisse volontiers prendre au refrain irrésistiblement mélodique et entraînant de « Social Parasite », morceau pourtant peu mémorable. Suit une sélection des meilleurs morceaux du premier album, Facelift, dont deux titres sont présents dans leur version démo – celle de« Bleed The Freak » étant d’ailleurs supérieure à celle de l’album.   On retrouve ensuite tout le meilleur d’Alice In Chains, morceaux issus des EP acoustiques Sap (1992) – dont le superbe « Right Turn », enregistré sous le nom d’Alice Mudgarden avec les chanteurs de Mudhoney (Mark Arm) et Soundgarden (Chris Cornell) – et Jar Of Flies (1994), entremêlés avec les titres du chef d’œuvre Dirt (1992), tous présents sur ce coffret. Des démos (celle de « Rooster », notamment, également meilleure que la version de l’album) et des inédits parachèvent le sombre panorama de l’ère 92-94, marquée par l’enfoncement de Layne Staley dans l’addiction à l’héroïne. La suite arrive très logiquement avec le morbide et décadent « Grind », qui introduit la sélection de 6 titres du suffocant et glaçant troisième album (Alice In Chains, 1995). 3 titres de l’Unplugged, autre chef d’œuvre du groupe, annoncent la fin de la rétrospective en même temps que sa conclusion logique, le terrible « Died », dernier morceau enregistré par Staley, en 1998. Sur un riff sabbathien, Staley, d’une voix venue de son intime enfer, y chante une confession bouleversante, évoquant sa solitude et son dépérissement depuis la mort de sa compagne. Ainsi, fidèle à l’histoire du groupe, la rétrospective s’achève par le tragique d’un homme aussi mort que vif, accablé par le deuil et dévasté par l’addiction.   Des jeux – musicaux – innocents et enfantins d’une fin d’adolescence jusqu’au désespoir d’adultes victimes de leur « inadaptation » au monde, la musique d’Alice In Chains a illustré le profond malaise d’une large partie de la jeunesse, incapable de choisir entre le jeu et l’oubli ou le « bon sens » adulte, dans un monde ressenti comme ennuyeux et hostile. Tout le mérite de ce coffret est là : rendre évident combien l’œuvre d’Alice In Chains et la voix de Staley témoignent d’un ressenti commun à toute une partie de la jeunesse des années 90 à nos jours. De même que l’ont fait, aussi, Nirvana et Cobain.

PS - Le coffret comprend aussi 3 pistes multimedia, qui le clôturent : « Get Born Again », « Jar Of Flies » et « The Journey ».
