Dirty

Dirty is the seventh full-length studio album and second double album by the American rock band Sonic Youth, released on July 21, 1992, by DGC Records. The band recorded and co-produced the album with Butch Vig in early 1992 at the Magic Shop recording studios. Coming off of the success of Goo, the band recorded the album as Alternative Rock began to surge in popularity, and released Dirty after major breakthroughs for the genre such as Nevermind by Nirvana and Blood Sugar Sex Magic by Red Hot Chili Peppers. As such, the sound on Dirty was inspired by the popularity of grunge music at the time, and has been described by Billboard magazine as experimental rock. Dirty reached number 83 on the US Billboard 200 and number six on the UK Albums Chart. The album spawned four singles: the lead single "100%" charted well, but was not the crossover hit the label anticipated, followed by "Youth Against Fascism", which did not chart as well. The last two were "Sugar Kane" and "Drunken Butterfly", with the former performing better commercially than the latter.
