Alice in Chains Dirt may be the greatest album of the 90s.

You mustn't have listened to Aenima, Homogenic, Grace, OK Computer, The Bends, etc etc etc.


I like Dirt a hell of a lot, but Jar of Flies, although an EP, is AIC's best record. That thing is pure brilliance

pearl jam sucks arse

It's far and away the best of the "Seattle" bands' albums. It absolutely beats to piss anything Pearl Jam ever did.

AIC is one of those rare bands that actually causes me pain to hear. I really don't get how anyone can listen to those vocals. pearl Jam was 10,000 time better.

I hear ya... probably next in line after RHCP for me...

Its fantastic.

I think it's the album I most associate with grunge. Or more like the apex of grunge era.

It's a very good album and really was the peak of grungeness but it didn't define or make the 90s. Many better albums.

Disagree with OP. But a great album. AIC was not grunge. They were metal all the way--more Metallica than Nirvana. Top 10 of the decade for sure..

Facelift was better, IMO. Both are creative mindfricks of genius. And there's just good ole hard rock in them. None of that Sonic Youth and Radiohead nonsense. Just rock.
