Album Notes & Community Reviews
Opening with one of the most menacing and iconic basslines of the era, 'Would?' perfectly captures the brooding, metal-adjacent darkness of the Seattle music scene. Jerry Cantrell penned the track as a poignant tribute to his late friend Andrew Wood, confronting the tragedy of addiction without passing moral judgment. The song initially gained massive exposure via its inclusion on the soundtrack for the film 'Singles', catapulting the band to the forefront of the grunge movement.
