Stripping back the crushing guitars revealed just how haunting the harmonies of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell could be, and Jar Of Flies became the first EP to top the Billboard 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRotten Apple opens Jar Of Flies with a woozy talk-box haze, and Nutshell follows as one of the most quietly devastating songs in the band's catalogue, Staley's voice heavy with weariness. I Stay Away adds strings and a swelling chorus, while No Excuses rides a breezy, almost sunny groove that hides its bruises. Over on Sap, Brother and Got Me Wrong show the same melancholy beauty in embryo, with Right Turn bringing in guest voices from fellow Seattle singers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether they form a moody, coherent listen that sits comfortably alongside the band's full-length albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor grunge fans who prefer their heaviness emotional rather than amplified, this pairing is a natural pick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478980305201,"sku":"889853820122","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Alice_In_Chains-Jar_Of_Flies_Sap_Gold_Series_2CD.jpg?v=1794396858","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/alice-in-chains-jar-of-flies-sap-gold-series-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
