It is weird to hear how they incorporated a sort of "pop" style with some of the elements of their previous work. I still haven't gotten into dirty... but it's probably the only one I haven't heard many times. just an odd phase for the band and I understand completely why majority of their fan base dislikes it. I guess I'm just one of the few. Another I really like is the self titled release. That one really stands out as well. It has perplexed me quite a bit that I've hardly seen it mentioned around here.

Dirty is great!! I really don't understand all the hatred surrounding it. SY did grunge better than any of the grunge bands. "100%" is like the perfect grunge song... It was a time-piece. A product of an era. The 120 minutes era.
Plus, the second half of Dirty is flawless. There's some absolutely great jamming on that album. Everyone else in '91 was jamming Jane's Addiction style- major chords and pseudo-metal shredding... SY was doing their own thing while at the same time making the best product out there.
Dirty is three times the record Nevermind is.
I also love the s/t debut. It's got a great sound to it, and has a few of my favorite tracks. "Burning Spear"... what a great intro for the band! I wish they'd incorporated more of that dub/reggae influence into their later work, but I guess shifting drummers made that tough.
Am I the only one here who unabashedly loves every single album SY has ever done?
