Love, Hate, Love by AIC

Facelift as a whole is a great, great album. I know Dirt was like their really big "grunge" breakthrough, and that Facelift was still sort of quasi in their cockrock transition, but I love that album. Bleed the Freak is a great song too.

I love all of the Layne era AIC so much. I liked them fine back when I was younger, but I find them being more and more my go to hard rock preference. The Layne / Jerry combo is just simply perfect. "Again" from the self titled album is another great one.

It's one of their darkest songs

Great song. I've always thought of Dirt as a continuation or even finishing of the LHL story...

I want to taste dirty,
a stinging pistol,
in my mouth, on my tongue.

I want you to scrape me from the walls
and go crazy,
like you made me.

No song better encapsulates the wide-ranging emotions one feels when discovering that their spouse/significant other has cheated on them. Layne's ability to convey the progression of those emotions through his music is extraordinary.
