From the beginning of their careers until now, AIC have defied all forms of categorization or molds. No particular trend during their 30-year career has influenced them to change their tune and become the "most popular" of the moment. A quick look at their statistics proves they did well: over 30 million records sold, two #1 albums, six albums on the Billboard 200, five #1 singles, sixteen Top 10 hits, 9 Grammy nominations. On "Rainier Fog," their new album, Sean Kinney's unique drumming style tells an epic story, Inez's bass lines tell another, Duvall's guitar prowess and vocals guide, narrate, and nourish the triumph and torture of existence; Cantrell's songwriting, voice, and now legendary mastery of the riff combine for a simply brilliant performance. "The One You Know" will blow your mind, just as "So Far Under," the title track "Rainier Fog," and the aptly named "Red Giant" are deadly powerful. "All I Am" and "Fly" offer an opportunity for deep introspection. And then, what a pleasure to rediscover that typical AIC sound we all love!
