I had 'Dirt' for years & I agree I didnt see it as grunge at the time, more Metal as they once stated themselves.

I only came to really appreciate them when I got a lend of their MTV Unplugged dvd which I was blown away by when i watched it.
I have since went out and got the MTV album which I think is excellent.

I would rank, although technically not a 'proper' album, 'Jar Of Flies' as their best piece of work & the songs 'Nutshell' & 'No Excuses' as the single two best tracks they ever wrote (amongst many others).

But if you want me to name a 'proper' album, I would say 'Facelift' is a hell of a lot better than 'Dirt'.

For instance, I didnt like the songs 'Angry Chair', 'Rooster', 'Down In A Hole' until I heard the live versions on the unplugged album.
One song I do think is fantastic from 'Dirt' though is 'Rain When I Die'.

Another Ep worth checking out that some of you may not have heard of is 'Sap' (1992) which features the studio version of 'Brother' (2nd track on Unplugged), 'Got Me Wrong' (8th track on Unplugged), 'Right Turn' (which is a duet with Chris Cornell), an exclusive track called 'Am I Inside' & finally an extremely weird track titled 'Untitled' which can only be described as a combination of sniffing, farting & ghostly wails (lol) - totally unrepresentative of anything youve ever heard from them before.
I cant believe it but I've actually found a f&cking video on youtube for this. I am not alone! lol
