The opening groove of that song is legendary

Always felt like this album is pretty fun. It's got some really bleak bits but compared to what came after it's almost light-hearted.

yep. Dirt, Jar of Flies, and the self titled make this look like a birthday party
first time I saw them in 2015 maybe, they opened with Bleed the Freak. Will isnt as good as Layne but goddamn hes close. Such a good track

Given that Duvall is in his 50s and still has that kind of power and range he's kind of amazing.

"You know when a TV show has that one episode about how one of the character's friends is in a rock band that is about to break through? This album is exactly what every one of those bands sound like. Absolute wallpaper. Luckily they got a lot better from this pedestrian-midtempo-jock-rock-even-shittier-G'n'R vibe that pervades on this album."
I kinda understand where this person is coming from, aside from 'Man in the Box' (for example), some of the tracks on here do sound like typical 1987 butt rock. I'm looking at you 'Put you down', 'Confusion' and 'I know something (bout you').
This is as claygurnz said, quite light-hearted. For me this is still proto-Alice.

I saw someone on YouTube describe that as "Bill and Ted Rock", like that late-80s early-90s sound when bands had one foot in glammy 80s metal but were also dabbling in punk, funk, prog, thrash, and alt rock. Bands like early AiC, King's X, Living Colour, Extreme, 24-7 Spyz, and even Jane's Addiction and FNM.
It was a pretty great sound and time tbh.

There are songs like It Aint Like That and Bleed the Freak which tell you where the band is going with their sound, but there are songs like Put You Down, I Know Something, and even Man in the Box and We Die Young to an extent, which have that quintessential late-'80s / early-'90s glam-funk-groove-thrash sound that could have just as easily come from Pantera or Skid Row or Extreme or Living Colour etc in that era.
I personally love that "Bill and Ted rock" sound, but obvs not everyone does.

Yeah, that's kinda how it was for a lot of bands. Mother Love Bone and early Manic Street Preachers were on that same semi-grunge/semi-glam wavelength, which has always fascinated me considering how different those scenes would end up being

The only band that didn't sell out in order to, if I can paraphrase zak, "get themselves some alternative minge" was RHCP lol. God bless those mofos and their uplifting party plan.

"Yeh makes sense for sure. Many of the riffs on here are super memorable though"
We Die Young is the best AIC song and no one will ever change my mind. Bangs the hardest and yes the riff rules.

“I'm looking at you 'Put you down', 'Confusion' and 'I know something (bout you').”
Okay please don’t lump Confusion in with those other two weak ass tracks
Though admittedly I love the vocal harmonies during I Know Something.
Put You Down is just straight trash tho imo.

I actually like those songs, but they are so radically different from everything present on Dirt.
