Released 30 years ago today on CD in the U.S. (the vinyl was released on Halloween, & CD/cassettes were released on November 6th in the UK), Joe's #albumoftheweek is Alice in Chains self-titled album, aka Tripod or Three-Legged Dog.

It's the band's 3rd LP & is often overlooked, but it shouldn't be.

A massive album for Sean, purchased at Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz while killing time waiting for the bus, Sean’s #albumoftheweek is In the Absence of Truth by Isis released on this day in 2006

Released on this day in 1997 Joe’s #albumoftheweek is Around the Fur by the Deftones
