Guitar World named Dirt as the best guitar album of 1992 It was voted ” Critic’s Choice Album of the Year” Rolling Stone placed the album at No 26 on its list of the 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.ĭirt was included in the 2005 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The album received critical acclaim and has gone on to sell five million copies worldwide, making Dirt the band’s highest selling album to date It was also the band’s last album recorded with all four original members. While “ Dirt” and “ Hate to Feel” are some of the darkest dirges since Black Sabbath’s prime, the album peaks with “ Down in a Hole” and “ Rooster,” a pair of spooky, majestic ballads that alter the idea of what a slow-burning hard rock song can sound like. Driven by relentlessly aggressive but rhythmically slippery riffs, “ Would?” and “ God Smack” give Layne Staley a chance to explore a vocal arsenal that encompasses bluesy wails, unholy screams, and guttural growls. 2LP - 30th Anniversary Edition Double 140g Black Vinyl.ĭirt casts an unnerving spell unlike anything else from the grunge explosion.
