Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as the lead single from their self-titled third studio album, 'Grind' is a heavy and visceral sludge-grunge statement. The track is famous for its warbling, three-note opening guitar riff and Layne Staley's dark, ominous vocal delivery. Lyrically, the song directly confronts widespread media rumors regarding the band's imminent demise and Staley's health, delivering a cynical and defiant response to their critics.
