Alice In Chains - Dirt




AIC is a great grunge band. My biggest qualm is their fans have a bit of an inferiority complex. Of the big 4 they had the least mainstream success. So their biggest fans always have to go out of their way to say they were the greatest and way better than Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Soundgarden.

This is probably my favorite AIC album.

Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby



Just when I thought we were gonna head in a better direction, I am let down.

Just fine. Watered down soul/sophistipop, with passable production. Compare that to his contemporaries from that year alone (Prince, MJ, Alexander O'Neal, George Michael) and it sounds like he's a step below. Don't think it should be on this list.

Rating: 2.5/5 [Decent]
