Alice in Chains (album)

Untitled

Alice in Chains is the self-titled album by the Seattle grunge group Alice in Chains. It is their third album, as Jar of Flies is an EP, and features one of their most popular songs, "Heaven Beside You". The self-titled album is perhaps better known as Tripod, due in part to the album's cover art featuring a three-legged-dog. The compact disc was initially available in two versions: one with a transparent purple jewel case with a transparent yellowish-green "spine" and the other with the color scheme reversed. It is the final studio album released by the band.
