Dirt is the second album by famed Alternative Metal/Grunge band Alice in Chains. (Although it’s much better known than their first.) It was released on September 29, 1992, and recorded between April and July of the same year.Dirt is considered one of the most seminal albums of Grunge era, as well as one of the greatest Alternative Metal, as well as occasionally Doom Metal albums of all time. It currently holds the 2nd slot on Rate Your Music’s top-rated Grunge albums, as well as #26 on Rolling Stone’s greatest metal albums of all time. The album was remastered in 2022. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: compared to the still Glam Metal influenced Facelift and the gentle acoustic Sap, Dirt is both much heavier musically and much bleaker lyrically. | |

Concept Album | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: The album can be interpreted as one, with the first half depicting the reasons people are drawn to drug use (Depression, a feeling of meaninglessness and PTSD from war.) and the second half describing the effects drugs have on people and how they only make it worse. | |

Doom Metal | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_3bc3f899 | comment |
Doom Metal: Many songs on the album qualify as such, with the slow tempos, Epic Riffs and depressing lyrics. | |

Dated History | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_3e8c87a3 | comment |
Dated History: "Rooster" repeats the assertion that Vietnam vets were spat on after returning from the war. Studies published since the release of the album have concluded that very little evidence supports that Vietnam veterans were spat upon by anti-war protestors, though it's certainly possible that isolated incidents really did happen. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: "Would?" is musically softer then the other songs, but just as dark lyrically, concerning the late Andrew Wood (of Malfunkshun & Mother Love Bone) and his fatal heroin addiction. It's made darker yet again by the similarities with Layne Staley's own slow demise. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Nowhere near as pronounced as on Facelift, but still present. The album overall has more of a mix of Alternative Metal and straight Doom Metal, whereas the next 4 albums they'd produce would veer more towards Sludge Metal territory. It also noticeably lacks any mostly acoustic songs in the vein of their two EPs, something that every subsequent album would have | |

Break-Up Song | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_b28a8d0a | comment |
Break-Up Song: "Rain When I Die," somewhat: the lyrics draw a parallel between a relationship breaking down and some king of drawn-out dying. "Down in a Hole", written by Jerry for his then-girlfriend, has a sense of inevitability that veers into 'impending breakup' territory. | |

| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Dam That River" was written by Sean Kinney as a diss against Jerry Cantrell. Despite being the singer of this song, Layne had no real involvement with their fight. | |

Re-Cut | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: "Down in a Hole" was originally the penultimate track of the album; a few months after the original release, the order changed so "Down in a Hole" appeared as track 4 instead. | |

Drugs Are Bad: Over half of the songs in some way are this. "God Smack" and "Junkhead" stand out particularly. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song | |
| Dirt (Album) (Music) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: In comparison to the musically dour mood of the rest of the album, "God Smack" is a rather upbeat and poppy song (albeit with lyrics every bit as dark as those on the rest of the album). | |
