Overall, while Dirt definitely is not for everyone (especially casual listeners or the faint of heart), it remains Alice In Chains’ most powerful, chilling document- and, despite not including the earlier “Man In The Box”, is their only album that really needs to be owned.

Appropriately on such an album, the production is extremely raw and dirty to the point where it makes Nirvana’s extremely offbeat In Utero look genuinely radio-friendly by comparison.ĭespite being far from easy (or fun) to listen to at times, Dirt still remains a genre classic to this day, largely due to all the Alice trademarks (sludgy Sabbath-esque tempos, Layne Staley’s moaned vocals) being here in their full apocalyptic glory. Dirt granted Alice in Chains international recognition, and the album was certified four times platinum status in the United States, platinum status in Canada and gold status in the UK. If the dark song titles (“Junkhead”, “Hate To Feel”) weren’t enough of a telling sign of the album’s graphic nature, the disturbing suicidal and drug-related lyrics, which are still shocking even by today’s standards, were more than enough for it to secure a spot as the darkest of the entire decade. However, while most bands of the type (Pearl Jam comes to mind) disguised their moody songwriting with massive hooks that won audiences across the country, Alice In Chains’ brutal second release, Dirt, offers no such relief. Grunge isn't really known for being a cheery genre of music.
