ALBUM REVIEW CREW EPISODE 70: "DIRT"
On the 70th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, former MTV VJ, TV and radio host, Matt Pinfield review the 1992 Alice In Chains album, "Dirt."
Grunge was in full effect by the time Dirt was released. This album cemented Alice In Chains as a leader. Singer Layne Staley continued his incredible, unique vocals and added songwriting as well. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell wrote most of lyrics and began to sing more and showed more of his innovative riffs and guitar style. Mike Starr on bass and Sean Kinney on drums formed one of the best rhythm sections.
Dirt made it to #6 on Billboard album charts and eventually went 5 times platinum. They released 5 singles and 5 videos as well.
The album is considered a classic and one of the best albums of the 1990's and the grunge era.
This was the Tom's pick and the second Alice In Chains album reviewed on ARC.
So get out of rehab and grab some flannel and crank this album!
