The Big Dirty (album)

The Big Dirty is the fourth studio album by American metal band Every Time I Die, released on September 18, 2007. It was their first album released on Ferret Music after leaving Epitaph Records. The album features a more straightforward and aggressive sound compared to their previous work, incorporating elements of southern rock and hardcore punk.

The album's title is reportedly a reference to the city of Buffalo, New York, where the band is from, and its sometimes less-than-pristine reputation.

The Big Dirty received positive reviews upon release, with critics praising its intensity and songwriting. Several tracks, including "No Son of Mine" and "We'rewolf," became fan favorites and staples of the band's live shows. The album contributed to Every Time I Die's growing popularity within the metalcore scene.
