Corey Taylor has once again paid tribute to Alice in Chains.
The companion book to the 30th-anniversary edition of Alice in Chains’ album “Dirt” features an excerpt from the Slipknot frontman.
“The whole album is perfection,” Taylor is quoted in the book. “The harmonies are perfect, the guitar tones are so thick, the passion is gorgeous, and the grooves — how the bass glues to the drums — are unf***ingtouchable. Whenever I am stuck musically, I go on a ‘Chains binge, and I always start with Dirt. It’s just a perfect album.”
Taylor continues, “Simply put, it’s one of the greatest hard rock/heavy metal albums of all time. It transcends genres. it speaks to people regardless of age or generation. It’s literally a clinic on how to make nihilism and contemplation work together.”
