In 1987, Layne Staley met Jerry Cantrell at a party. Moving along, I?d like to briefly tell you all about the bands history. So, overall if you just listen to a few tracks at a time this isn?t to sad of a listen, but when you listen to it all the way through, dear god it?s just mind numbingly disheartening. It?s a good paced track not too depressing and even has some good soloing in it. There are actually a few tracks on here that you can listen to that aren?t too depressing, like ?Them Bones?. I found the ballads to be the most depressing. It also has a range from heavier tracks to a few ballads. A lot of the songs deal with topics like addiction and isolation. Although, if you?re ever in a rather glum mood and need good music to suite your mood this album is right up your alley. I?m not a big fan of overly depressing music, with the exception of a few metal bands. Honestly, it?s not even really my cup of tea. So, pretty much if your one of those people who?s more into pop-punk, you know ?fun? music this probably isn?t for you. For example: gloomy, dark, scary, haunting, depressing, damp the list goes on. Well there are several descriptive adjectives I could use to describe this. Now I?ll talk to ya?ll about how this album feels, because I think it?s important to know the feel of an album before you purchase it well. Although, other than that this album is a classic and some of you out there may actually like the vocals, but they?re just really, really not my cup of tea. Or if you?re a member of the female congregation like being hit in the boob. It?s honestly one of the most annoying sounds I?ve ever heard and I?ve heard James Blunt sing! Truly it?s like being kicked in the nuts, but for your ears. When Layne was actually singing like verses and choruses his vocals were okay, but in several songs he did this thing where he just makes noise overtop of the guitar, like in the title track ?Dirt?. The drums weren?t too complicated, but they were still pretty good and had their moments here and there. The bass was well-written and you could here it well throughout the album.
The guitar was solid and had the occasional good solo. I mean the instrumentals were tremendous.
It?s nearly flawless from beginning to end. ?Alice In Chains? were probably the biggest grunge band of the nineties and this album is their best, in my opinion at least. Dirt is widely acknowledged as a grunge masterpiece, and for good reason.
