“Dirt” je bio drugi album Alice in Chainsa, a izašao je 29. septembra 1992. godine preko “Columbia Recordsa”. Bio je mračan, težak, ličan, nošen harmonijom Staleyevog i Cantrellovog vokala, prizvukom metala i prljavim grunge stilom. Staley je imao ozbiljne probleme s heroinom, a čitava atmosfera oko benda bila je ispunjena tenzijama. Sve te emocije su pretočene u muziku, pa album zvuči kao ispovijest o ovisnosti, bolu i očaju. Izvajaju se hitovi “Would?”, “Down in a Hole”, “Rooster”, “Them Bones” i “Angry Chair”. “Dirt” je postigao komercijalni i kritički uspjeh, a prodat je u višemilionskom tiražu. Sniman je u “Eldorado Recordingu” u Burbanku, “London Bridgeu” u Seattleu i “One on Oneu” u Los Angelesu, a producent je bio Dave Jerden. Sa svojim monumentalnim pjesmama i brutalnom iskrenošću, i danas se smatra jednim od ključnih ostvarenja grunge ere.
