Great AiC album. 2 of my favorite songs in Man in a Box and It Ain’t Like That.

Sea of Sorrow might be my favorite AIC song. Man, this album went so hard back in the day. I was driving around in a Z28 Iroc Z back in ‘93 with this shit blasting away. Good times!!!

We Die Young has really been hitting with me lately. It's just perfect.

Same feeling here. Almost as good as Dirt. Love, Hate, Love is such a jam.

I've always thought "Man in the Box" was a great song (and it is) but man, I really don't jibe with anything else here. Idk what exactly it is, but the entire grunge genre has always felt super corny to me, the only real exception being Nirvana and I can't articulate exactly why. (I mean they have a very different sound than e.g. AIC, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. but breaking that down into words has proven tough.) It's weird because I "grew up" in the 90s and was around this sort of music all the time and yet I never really latched onto it, even as a kid/teen/whatever.

Objectively bad opinion, sorry tectac

Man In The Box is my least fave on here. The hook is good but it's so fucking repetitive. I'll always have a soft spot for Nirvana

Tbh though, this is probably their least representative classic era work. Still some holdover from glam and funk metal on here — Dirt would jettison most of that, and Jar of Flies sees it completely gone. I’d probably recommend Unplugged as the best look-in at their songwriting prowess and distinctive take on vocal harmony though — what it lacks in riffage it makes up for in proof that these guys were on a different wavelength to the rest of the grunge movement in their approach to songcraft. Cantrell is probably one of my favourite songwriters of the 90s.

Yeah I'm aware it's a contentious opinion but every year or so I'll try to give grunge another shot and it almost never yields favorable results.

Album Rating: 4.0

kudos for trying at least. I would say definitely check Jar Of Flies if you're in a somber mood. It's really hard to go wrong there, one of the best EPs ever

I actually have both JAR OF FILES and DIRT rated 3/5, which are surely the highest rated non-Nirvana grunge releases in my catalog.

Album Rating: 3.5

Never listen to this but Dirt and S/T yes please and of course Jar and Unplugged for when you crave that heartache.

Album Rating: 4.0

almost want to make fun of you for not listening to this but it's honestly kind of overrated
