Dirt was well-named as it plumbed the depths of despair, depression and frontman Layne Staley’s heroin addiction. Songs like God Smack and Junkhead didn’t exactly hide behind allegory but there’s something uplifting about the sheer gloomy heaviness and Staley’s peerless vocal delivery.

Alice In Chains are renowned as being one of the best bands in grunge, primarily due to their first two albums.

25 years on and we’re not only still talking about Alice In Chains’ Dirt, but we’re still listening to it. From the ‘smack-between-the-eyes’ opener ‘Them Bones’, it takes us on a hard rock journey that, in my mind, perfectly bridges the gap between late 80’s metal at its best and what we came to call ‘grunge’. “Down in a Hole” contains some eighties-style guitars (unique on the album) and maintains what is smack in the dirt a very slow drum beat by Sean Kinney, leaving all of the movement to the guitars and bass. Cantrell was at first hesitant to present the song to the band, feeling that it may be too “soft”, but surprisingly got a positive response and they recorded it. “Angry Chair”, written by Staley, is more riff and accent oriented.

Guns N Roses guitarist Slash mentioned once that he was on a jet with Motley Crue heading to a concert and the stewardesses brought out large silver trays lined with cocaine.
