Review

Let's talk about Alice In Chains' "Dirt" from '92— this bad boy is a heady brew from the grunge era that'll shake your soul to the core. With riffs that hit like a sledgehammer and rhythm patterns that twist and turn like a wily serpent, tracks like "Would?" and "God Smack" let Layne Staley's voice morph from bluesy croons to bone-chilling screams to guttural growls. You can almost hear the ghostly shadows of Black Sabbath in the eerie weight of "Dirt" and "Hate to Feel," while "Down in a Hole" and "Rooster" redefine what slow-burning hard rock anthems can be.

"Dirt" is more than just an album; it's Alice In Chains' magnum opus and one of the most poignant concept albums to ever cut through the noise of the '90s. Jerry Cantrell's songwriting steers this rollercoaster ride through the raw terrain of addiction, self-loathing, and bleak resignation without ever losing its thematic grip. Critics went nuts for this gem, hailing it as a pinnacle of '90s metal, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Megadeth's "Rust in Peace" and Tool's "Ænima." This one hits hard, folks—don’t miss out. - Scarlett
