== Genre ==
 
The genre should be changed to metal, they indentified as one (and still do) and apart from sap, jar of flies and some specific songs (which are more acoustic rock or ballads) their songs are metal (heavy metal/alternative metal/metal with some sludge metal charachteristics).

== Jar of flies ==
:In the musical style section, three out of six of the genres cited aren't styles of metal, but all six are styles of rock. The lead genre is supposed to be general to encompass all those sourced genre, if it doesn't include half of them then that's [[WP:UNDUE]].

Jar of flies should be in the discography. [[Special:Contributions/100.12.138.225|100.12.138.225]] ([[User talk:100.12.138.225|talk]]) 19:12, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 
:Discography sections are for studio albums only.

::It is listed in the correct place, here, [[Alice in Chains discography#Compilation albums|Compilation albums]] - <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">[[User:FlightTime|<span style="color:#800000">'''FlightTime'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:FlightTime|<span style="color:#1C0978">'''open channel'''</span>]])</small></span> 01:17, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
This is kind of a special case, as these EPs are basically considered studio albums. There was a prior discussion about it that went ignored (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alice_in_Chains/Archive_2#Sap_and_Jar_of_Flies_should_be_added_under_Discography ). It should imo be considered to make an exception here and list the EPs in the section. --[[User:FMSky|FMSky]] ([[User talk:FMSky|talk]]) 03:56, 11 August 2022 (UTC) I'm pinging {{ping|Xanarki}} as hes the one who started the original discussion --[[User:FMSky|FMSky]] ([[User talk:FMSky|talk]]) 11:11, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 
:I don't think that we should be making exceptions for some bands/artists and not others, and think it makes even less sense to make exceptions for only certain releases and not others as was suggested in the above discussion that unfortunately went overlooked; it will probably end up just circling back to the fact that there's a perfectly adequate discography list linked in the section. Unless you wanted to put a little more detail in the lead section, I don't see why anything needs to be done.

:::Thanks {{ping|FMSky}} no idea how I missed this. Indeed, both of the EPs should be added to the Discography due to their relevance and how the band views them.
 
:::{{ping|4TheWynne}} I absolutely think we should make exceptions for bands/artists and not others. This is because every band/artist has a different career from one another. We can't apply the "ONLY LPs allowed period" universally. You may or may not have seen my prior discussion, but if not, here are some examples to prove my point: [[The Beatles]] (1 EP and 1 compilation listed under their discography), [[Led Zeppelin]] (1 compilation listed under their discography), [[Peter Frampton]] (at least 2 live albums listed under his discography), [[L7 (band)|L7]] (1 EP listed under their discography), [[Guns n' Roses]] (1 EP listed under their discography though its classification has been debated), and [[Nine Inch Nails]] (3 EPs listed under their discography).
 
:::All except 1 of those examples were NOT done by me, which means other people here have the same opinion to an extent. I haven't added the AiC EPs yet because, due to their popularity, I really wanted some sort of discussion first. If you still need reasons as to why these 2 EPs are significant, I urge you to re-read my old post [[Talk:Alice_in_Chains/Archive_2#Sap_and_Jar_of_Flies_should_be_added_under_Discography|here]].

::::I agree with {{u|4TheWynne}} '''"{{tq|I don't think that we should be making exceptions for some bands/artists and not others.}}"''' - <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">[[User:FlightTime|<span style="color:#800000">'''FlightTime'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:FlightTime|<span style="color:#1C0978">'''open channel'''</span>]])</small></span> 17:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
:::::I'd like for you to expand on this though. It doesn't really make any sense to me, because everyone has had a different career. Why exactly? Would you go and revert all of the aforementioned examples in that case? All of those examples were discussed prior to inclusion, and agreed upon, and that suffices. So why not here too?
