10 Worst Number One Rock Albums Of The 1990s
10. Alice In Chains - Alice In Chains
Already, this list has thrown up a name that a lot of people will be very upset with.
As one of the main players in the grunge movement, Alice in Chains became massively successful with their first two albums, Facelift and Dirt. In 1995, out came their difficult third album, the thrillingly-named "Alice in Chains".
The two big ones off this album, which is also known as "Dog" in some circles, as it features a three-legged mutt on the front cover, are Grind and Again. Both songs are great, but critics weren't too happy with the project as a whole.
A number of publications noted how disjointed the album felt, and how it seemed as if one of the bands that had helped popularise grunge were now refusing to fully commit to it. This reflects the state of the group at the time, as infighting was rife amongst the members.
Despite all this, Alice in Chains (the album) gave Alice in Chains (the band) their first and only week at number one in November 1995. This would be their final studio release until 2009.
