Dirt (Remastered)
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit a hard-rock colossus, one of the heaviest and bleakest albums to come out of the early ’90s Seattle scene.”
Rainier Fog
“Like AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and in a sense, New Order, Alice In Chains belong to a select group of acts who have the unwanted distinction of being a band whereupon every note of music made after a certain point in time can be deemed something of a triumph.

Alice In Chains
“This album is absolutely flawless, vocals are haunting and eerie, guitar is heavy, full, and slow, drums are groovy and great fills, bass-lines are badass. writing is some of my favourite ever. Again, Heaven Beside You, and Over Now are some of the best songs ever”
