Alice in Chains is the self-titled third studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains.
It was released in November 1995 and was the follow-up to the highly successful Dirt. As with their previous releases, the album's songs focus on heavy subject matter such as depression, isolation, drug use, anger and death.
The band relies less on metallic riffs and more on melody and texturally varied arrangements, integrating some of the more delicate acoustic moods of their EPs. However, the riffs are mostly downtuned and atonal, employing a strong doom metal vibe.
Alice in Chains is the band's last studio album to feature vocalist Layne Staley before his death in 2002.
It received double platinum certification from the RIAA and has sold over three million copies worldwide.
