"Hard for me to express how much this album resonated on a personal level. Dirt captures the feeling of being trapped, whether from addiction or depression etc. There is something incredibly poignant in listening to Layne Staley on this album, knowing how things would turn out.

"I can't believe how underappreciated Jar Of Flies is. A hard rock borderline metal band strips down for an almost entirely acoustic album and pulls it off beautifully. Love the sound of this album." Reply
