Hard to decide, but I am loving Facelift at the moment.

    Dirt.

    That album is one of my top 5 albums and has huge significant personal meaning to me. Plus I saw 3 concerts for Dirt and was fortunate enough to have my Dec. 1992 ticket stub signed by Layne.

    I love Facelift, but gotta go with Dirt as my favorite. That album is just amazing. Tough to listen to now, in retrospect, with all the references to addiction but it's still in my top 10 all-time.

    Of the full albums, I would have to say Dirt as well though. So much awesome stuff on there.

    Dirt!

    I do love Facelift as well, but the second half isn't quite as strong as the first.
    And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
    Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...

    Dirt. I tend to jump around from track to track with Facelift, but Dirt I can listen to from start to finish and never get tired of it. It's also one of those rare albums that flows on repeat from Would? to Them Bones.

    yeah can we just all agree that their entire catalog is epic.

    Their MTV Unplugged album is probably the best that that show ever had.

    I love Facelift. The opening songs on that album work like a greatest hits collection, however, I would say Dirt is the stronger album.

    I listen to Dirt more often now, but I don't know if I could ever decide on one....I think Facelift is just as solid, just a little less intense.
    I was a big metalhead when Facelift came out, and the sound of that album totally changed my taste in music..
    I'll never forget playing it for a musician friend of mine, and watching his face while he listened to It Ain't Like That for the first time....ear to ear grin...he was blown away that such low-tempo music could be so heavy...
