}} ''The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here'' is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on May 28, 2013. It is the band's second reunion album. Following a worldwide tour in support of its previous album, ''Black Gives Way to Blue'' (2009), Alice in Chains began work on a new album. The making of ''The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here'' lasted for more than a year and the release of the album was delayed numerous times. The band entered the studio in July 2011 to start work on their fifth album. During the writing and recording sessions, guitarist Jerry Cantrell underwent shoulder surgery, which resulted in the delay of the album.〔 from 〕 The recording sessions of ''The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here'' were completed in December 2012. Peaking at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200, ''The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here'' was well received by music critics and "Hollow", "Stone" and "Voices" were released as singles to promote the album. The album also reached the top ten in the national albums charts of Australia, Finland and Norway.〔(ALICE IN CHAINS - THE DEVIL PUT DINOSAURS HERE (ALBUM) )〕 ==Background and recording== About seven months after the release of ''Black Gives Way to Blue'', Alice in Chains hinted at the possibility of a fifth studio album when guitarist Jerry Cantrell told MTV News that there were thoughts and did not "see any reason why it wouldn't ()." Singer William DuVall also commented on the possibility of the album and Alice in Chains' future, "we've got a lot of water to sail before we do that. There's a lot of shows. But yeah, generally speaking, yeah, we're excited about the future. I don't anticipate some long layoff." DuVall revealed in September 2010 that Alice in Chains had not begun writing their next album yet, but "there's plenty of riffs flying around." He added, "That was the case when we first started back up. We would just stockpile these fragments, and then some time later we would sift through the mountain of stuff, and that's what became ''Black Gives Way to Blue''. The same thing has been happening since we've been touring ''Black Gives Way to Blue'', so it would be only natural to at some point say, 'Hey, we've got a lot of stuff. Let's sift through and see what we've got this time.'" DuVall also mentioned that it was possible that the album would feature songs that were written for ''Black Gives Way to Blue''. On March 21, 2011, ''Metal Hammer'' reported that Alice in Chains would begin recording their new album by the end of 2011. In May 2012, Cantrell revealed that, prior to the recording sessions, he had surgery. He explained, "The thing that set me back is I had some bone spurs () cartilage issues in my shoulders. I had the same issue in the other shoulder about six years ago so I've had them both done now. It's a repetitive motion injury from playing."〔 In December 2012, Cantrell confirmed that the album was completed.〔 On the making the album, Cantrell said to ''Revolver'' magazine: "I don't think you'll be surprised by anything you hear. ... It's us. But it's also really unique. It's got all the elements of any record we've put out, but it's unlike any record we've put out. Basically, it's the next chapter in the Alice in Chains book, and it's going to be a big one." Cantrell also said to ''Guitar World'': "In my opinion, ''Black Gives Way to Blue'' stood up to anything else we've put out in our career. Hopefully, the new album will connect with people in the same way." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
