About this album

Columbia (1992) Released: 29 Sep 1992 13 tracks (57:26)
Dirt is the second studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains and was released on September 29, 1992 through Columbia Records. Peaking at number six on the Billboard 200, the album was well received by music critics and has since been certified four-times platinum by the RIAA. It is nowadays considered as one of the best grunge albums and is usually on many “Must have” lists.

The album spawned five singles: “Would?”, “Them Bones”, “Angry Chair”, “Rooster”, and “Down in a Hole”. The songs on the album focused on depression, drug use, war, death, and other emotionally heavy topics.
The recording of Dirt began in the spring of 1992. Producer Dave Jerden, who had previously worked with the band on their debut, Facelift, wanted to work with them again. He admired vocalist Layne Staley’s lyrics and voice, and lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell’s guitar riffs. For the songs “Them Bones”, “Rain When I Die”, “Down in a Hole”, “Dirt”, and “Would?”, Cantrell brought in his black Gibson Les Paul and an amplifier he had bought when he was 17 which had much heavier distortion than any amplifier he had used in the past. Dirt was recorded at Eldorado Recording Studio in Burbank, California, London Bridge Studio in Seattle, and One on One Studios in Los Angeles from March to May 1992.

    Calling Alice in Chains grunge feels like an insult to them. This album is the main reason. It's much more than a "wave album", it's a rock masterpiece up there with The Who's "Tommy" and Zeppelin's "IV".

    very dark, very deep, quite depressing but I must say that this album emotionally is heavy, gritty and absolutely brilliant :):):)
