Dirty was the fourth SY album I bought and was the second most accessible listen for me, first being Daydream Nation. I wasn't anywhere near as into Evol or Goo at the time, so Dirty got a lot of exclusive play on my stereo for quite some time. Now after owning everything, I'd probably put it in the middle somewhere, possibly my 8th or 9th favourite, but when I put it up against a lot of other hard-rock/grunge/punkish records, past and present, it stands the test of time as a great collection of songs. I hesitate to say great album because as several others have stated, it is fractured at times. I could go on about exclusions and whatnot, but I still love Dirty, and in fact listened to it in the car this morning on the way to work-- I hadn't heard it in nearly a year.
Two thumbs up.
