 Latimer’s tedious solos dominated the instrumental ballads.

 The frayed concept of Berlin divided by the wall was not enough to hold together a collection of tracks packaged for the radio.

 The story, the pain, the despair of a very young O'Riordan already appear here, in this incredible half-masterpiece, strongly immature, but emotionally poignant.

 The common denominator of all the CDs has been the lack of originality and faithfulness to Alice in Chains.

 My 3 stars indicate the technique and the enjoyment in listening to the fantastic group’s career products but in terms of originality, this latest 'effort' would deserve one star.

Godsmack’s album The Oracle stays true to its established style with powerful riffs and strong performances, especially on drums. However, the reviewer criticizes the lack of originality and evolution, noting the band’s heavy influence from Alice in Chains.
