Query: Haunting lyrics, harrowing riffs, universal songs = CLASSIC

This album got me through high school. Period. Every tune on the album is so universal that they spoke to me in 1993 the same way the do in 2002. Dealing with issues such as Vietnam (The Rooster), agony of drug withdrawal (Junkhead) or f'ed up personal relationships (Down In A Hole)...this album kicks you hard in the stomach and doesnt let up until you are gasping for air on the last track. If you like the processed cheese bands out now like Nickelback, Creed, etc......buy some fromage....Alice in Chains DIRT.
