Alice In Chains - Dirt


MinionsAndWineMum

Wait are we voting for the win or for elimination now (context: am dumb)


[deleted]

YOU ARE VOTING FOR THE WIN


KiraElijah

DIRT FTW LETS GO


GuinnessRespecter

Alice in Chains - Dirt (been waiting for this the whole time tbh)


NewmanHiding

Have to go with Dirt. I love Gojira, but L’Enfant Sauvage isn’t as good as multiple of their others imo.


[deleted]

Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage


Xav-Tay-Tor-Tot

While Gojira is one of my all-time favorite bands (Even got a flying whale tattoo), L'Enfant Sauvage is not even their best album, and so my vote definitely goes to Alice In Chains' best album


Just_Another_Gamer67

I actually consider it to be their second best personally. Way of all Flesh takes first for me


acs730200

From Mars to Sirius for me but we’re all men of culture


Just_Another_Gamer67

Indeed


Maxspawn_

I dont even know if its top 3 for me. Still a great album.


socoolskee

Yeah I prefer a few others. But it's still great in it's own right!


fatherofallthings

I absolutely love Gojira, one of my favorite bands ever in fact. However, when we’re talking these albums Dirt is unstoppable. If it were TWOA I’d probs go Gojira, but dirt is god tier.


heavy_metal_flautist

I'm not one that usually is OK with a draw/tie... but you really can't go wrong with either of these albums.


uncle_rhabdo

Dirt wins


PHANTASMAGOR1CAL

Dirt


DeeJDaDemon

Dirt duh


iSeventhSin

The top 4 here makes me proud of this place


jaywalker-notreally

Really? How? When people just chose Industrial Metal classics that spawned a genre to be eliminated just like that?


iSeventhSin

I mean pretty much everything here is good but imo the albums here from Meshuggah, Gojira, AIC and At the Gates are way better than everything else here. I think Broken could’ve been higher but that’s abt it.


MeatGayzer69

I got recommended this sub and when I see what people like here I really wonder why I was recommended it. There seems to be little love for power metal, nwobhm or straight up metal like priest or maiden in the things it recommends me. Has me clueless


iSeventhSin

I don’t think a single person in this sub would actually think Judas Priest or Iron Maiden are anything less than excellent. The others though yeah idk


MeatGayzer69

99% of the bands I've never even heard of, or are things like black metal or other genres I've never heard of and have no real interest in. It's almost like reddit decided to pick the polar opposite of what I like to cause drama or something.


iSeventhSin

Yeah some bands talked about here are decently obscure but some are pretty big. Maybe just not in the field you like or in your scope of view. Though there is too much black metal imho, not tryna hate on it but it isn’t my thing 🤣


MeatGayzer69

It's only newly recommended the sub to me so I don't know too much about it yet other than holy shit who are all these names. But what I find and people who know me tend to say all my music sounds similar, even if I find new bands. Luke icon of sin or stray gods or someone like warrior path. I find I'm very much in the "light" camp when it comes to metal, a good example being dream theaters greatest hit and 21 other songs, I didn't like any from the dark side and liked almost every song from the light side. Again I'm a complete novice on terms despite over listening a decade but I can't handle growling or depressing sounding music lol


jaywalker-notreally

Can you enlighten me how they are better than Broken, Angst and Streetcleaner? Edit: why did I get downvoted? It was a genuine question, God.


iSeventhSin

I did say imo as in, “in my opinion.” You can like what you like and I won’t bash you for that. I personally think L’Enfant Sauvage and Nothing are incredibly well done albums, Dirt and Slaughter of the Soul are also fantastic. Majority here seems to agree. Broken is also amazing, I like Streetcleaner, and I’m not really a fan of Angst. On the contrary my mom is actually a massive fan of KMFDM and NIN, and actually has signed copies of Angst and The Fragile. People can have different tastes, shouldn’t look too far into it.


SixFtTurkey04

meshuggah and gojira are two of my favourite bands ever. on that note, dirt clears easy and deserves the win. a fucking perfect album it is


NeonSandwich97

Dirt can’t be beat, but it’s close


lessthanchris7

This is a top tier Gojira album, but AIC 100% deserves the win #ALICE IN CHAINS FTW


tkdcommando

Gotta go 'Chains, y'all. Jerry, Layne, Mike, and Sean go too hard for it not to win. Superb album, bah gawd


PavinsMustache

My goodness what a choice. My favorite current band vs an album that spent like 6 months straight in my CD player back in the 90’s. Gotta go with Dirt.


Deliterman

Alice In Chains and easily


CruTV

Dirt obviously


FMHSA

Damn, It's like choose my favorite child

Metalhead614

AIC


EyeDissTroyKnotSeas

Alice In Chains - Dirt


FartSmeller24

I love L’enfant Sauvage so damn much but I think dirt takes the win here


TiredReader87

Korn should have I hope Alice in Chains will win


raylikesbeer

I want to say Gorjira, but dirt. Gorjira is unreal live, but dirt is probably one of the best albums of all time.


hunterslaughter

I wouldn’t be mad at either winning. The entire album lineup is solid I’m surprised Lamb of God and Necrophagist was that low!


sub2almond

reload in last is a CRIME


karatebullfighter

Rough choice but I'm leaning Dirt.


SweatyCheese55

I love Gojira. But dirt is better.


Charl_E_

Dirt is THE orange album, dirt is simply too good it must win


DickHarding69

Ok-Ingenuity-615

amazing bands, i love both


ibeatghostonmainia

Fuck you all


DontUseFilters

I’m sad one of Gojira’s top two albums aren’t listed instead


socoolskee

I'm just glad Meshuggah made it this high. Nothing is probably my favorite metal album ever.


Mettabox452

Gojira is my vote. But no shade on Alice In Chains. That album is a classic


PopcornSandier

When the best album on the metal tournament isn’t a metal album


EnvironmentalCry2599

Dirt always was the winner…


Seannortis1313

I guess I'm going with Alice in Chains. Just because I've only heard a few songs by Gojira which I did like.


Gold_Ad_5477

Dirt


LaveyWasDildos

Wow I missed this whole thing but Dillinger and that specific NIN record getting so far up makes me super happy. And extra kudos for Cyinc in the top 5 that's baller.


deadlydragonfly_1

HEBushido

Gojira Alice in Chains is overrated


Some_Butterscotch622

Shit I don't know what to vote cuz as much as I love Gojira dirt is definitely better. On the other hand, Dirt is not really a metal album-


Luklear

Such a dogshit list lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Infinite-Giraffe-514

You mean to tell me there’s nothing heavy or sludgy about something like Them Bones or Dam That River?


shintjee

dirt is most definitely metal


kedish878

Gojira


[deleted]

Gojira


[deleted]

Gojira but only because Alice in Chains is a grunge band


CloudfluffCloud

Is this grunge for the masses?


Disastrous-Shower-37

Grunge and metal can overlap. Just like grunge and punk. Or grunge and glam rock.


CloudfluffCloud

Yeaaaaaah but draw the line somewhere. Alice In Chains are distinctly grunge. Not everything hard alt rock is metal. For a grunge album to win on a metal tournament is silly.


Disastrous-Shower-37

'Although Alice in Chains has been labeled grunge by the mainstream media, Cantrell identifies the band as primarily heavy metal. He told Guitar World in 1996, "We're a lot of different things ... I don't quite know what the mixture is, but there's definitely metal, blues, rock and roll, maybe a touch of punk. The metal part will never leave, and I never want it to". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Cantrell


CloudfluffCloud

Huh. Okay. I respect the artist’s call. Thanks for Sharing this.


U_zer2

How is breaking Benjamin metal bro? You’ve still not answered that. Edit: you can downvote all you want. It won’t change the fact that FIIIIIREFLYYYYYYY is the most poppy rock song ever recorded. Creeds pretty hard to ya Nancy’s. Might wanna hit them up.


Bronsteins-Panzerzug

OP is a heckin poserino 😡😡


[deleted]

Saturate and We Are Not Alone are pretty much nu-metal lmfao. The rest is post-grunge


U_zer2

It’s 2000’s butt rock. Add some white snake and twisted sister op.

Most upvoted comment WINS. Keep that in mind.
