Alice in Chains - Selected tracks from "Dirt"

This album is fucking incredible. One of Layne Staley's last masterpieces before his death (which is described here):

"When police kicked in the door to Layne Staley's University District apartment on April 20, there, on a couch, lit by a flickering TV, next to several spray-paint cans on the floor, not far from a small stash of cocaine, near two crack pipes on the coffee table, reposed the remains of the rock musician." The article also stated that the 6'1" Staley weighed just 86 pounds when his body was discovered. The autopsy report later concluded that Staley had died after injecting a mixture of heroin and cocaine known as a "speedball".

Needless to say, this shit is intense. However, its intensity needs to be respected and channeled in appropriate ways. Enjoy the music and give thanks to the souls that were involved in its production.
