"Check My Brain" is a song by the American rock band Alice in Chains, featured on their fourth studio album, Black Gives Way to Blue (2009).

[6] This was the first time an Alice in Chains song would hit number-one on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart since their 1994 single "No Excuses".

[1] "A Looking in View" was available for purchase[15] and was streaming for free on the band's website in June 2009, but it wasn't released as the album's first single.

[16][17] Ronald Hart of Billboard said that the song "is faithful to the grunge terrain Alice in Chains mapped out in 1995.

The band's classic, downtuned stomp could easily pass for an unreleased track from the Dirt era and is sure to keep longtime fans feeling pleasantly dystopic.

[18] The song was featured in the season four premiere of the Showtime series Californication, "Exile on Main St." in 2011, when Charlie picks up Hank from jail.

[21] The video shows the band in a discolored setting in Los Angeles, California where Cantrell moved in 2003.

[23] Alice in Chains debuted "Check My Brain" on August 1, 2009 in Marlay Park, Dublin, Ireland.
