== 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).

== Removal of hard rock ==
: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]].

I'm removing hard rock since 4 genres are enough, heavy metal already covers hard rock, and it was added by a banned sock account. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:I call the big one bitey|I call the big one bitey]] ([[User talk:I call the big one bitey|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/I call the big one bitey|contribs]]) 18:26, 21 November 2012‎ (UTC) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
 
== Jar of flies ==
 
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 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.
