I very song is a banger

This is just a great album from beginning to end. This album improved on Facelift in many ways which was not a easy thing to do. The writing and vocals are just top notch.

Best album released by Alice In Chains. Laynes vocals are amazing. Personal favs- Rooster and Down in a Hole.

Of all the grunge albums released during the period from Nirvana’s mainstream breakthrough onwards, this one is by far the darkest. It’s also much more metal too, in fact more so than grunge. Jerry Cantrell takes Tony Iommi’s sludgy innovations and makes them darker and a perfect fit to Layne Staley’s often disturbing lyrics, which are often about the misery of addiction (heroin in this case, but really ANY addiction fits). Indeed the lyrics are very gut wrenching and self condemnatory in their honesty about how doing what one wants to actually can lead to a downward spiral towards an inevitable end, which is a stark contrast to modern day’s decadent sex obsessed garbage filth churned out like a McDonald’s hamburger and just as forgettable. Taylor Swift wouldn’t be caught dead writing about her suicidal thoughts or her loss of human connections, definitely not in this vein. There’s a reason why all four of the Big Four of thrash metal toured with this band. Dirt remains as terrifying as it was back then, in fact even more so because Staley ultimately died from his addiction, making this a haunting warning from beyond the grave. Though Hate to Feel and Sickman take time getting used to because of how dark and nauseating they are, every song is a standout. Don’t think, listen!

They didn’t break up.......Thier singer died! And there is still a version out there...please get your facts strait!

my dog loves this album

Love it

Alice In Chains is one of my all time favorite bands of all time Rest in Peace Layne Staley🙏

I LOVE ALICE IN CHAINSSSS

One of the best albums & leads EVER! I still cry hearing his voice, missing his presence on this Earth, and begging-pleading that he is surrounded by peace, love, and light….with Demri!
