However, musically there is more going on than the "one-man band." After all, this city does have somewhat ofan ar­ tistic essence to it. This is possibly due to a psychological break­ through/ rebellion to conservative suppression or perhaps more conceivably to the creative beings this city confines.

Cypress Hill-/// {Temple of Boom) I'll admit, I used to have a lot of respect for Cypress Hill. The releases of their phenom­ enal debut album and even their creative, commercially-successful second album, Black Sunday ,were gratifying to the Hip Hop scene. But for the sake of NORML becoming overcrowded, enough is enough. I think they're forgetting what it was that sold the two preceding albums, or maybe not. Sometimes the taste of commerci<1J success is easier to swallow than the fact of creative fatigue. IJyjosh Letchworth Cypress Hill's latest, III (Temple of Boom), is indeed a conceptual album, but I'm afraid they have the wrong conception. The majority of the songs on the record adhesively mes-h together with repetitive, hazy monotones that test the ear's temperament for boredom. Alice in Chains-?????? However, my daydream was finally interrupted by "No Rest For the Wicked." They proved Existentialism seems to have been the driving force for Alice in Chains throughout to be coherent, recalling the style I remember from the earlier releases. their gloomy and unstable past.

So with Layne Stanley's rehab and determination to make another album, Alice in Chains have clawed their way out of the hole and returned to a positive darkness. THE ADMIRAL'S TOP TEN REASONS TO VISIT... l:J Well, after hours of searching, cover to cover, I failed to retrieve a usable title for the J I '9 new album. Please forgive me. Regardless, the album (whatever it may be named) is rug­ gedly built with 12 new tracks that resonate with the combination of Stanley's dreary whine and the dark tones from overdubbed power chords.
