Alice in Chains is the self-titled album by the Seattle heavy metal group Alice in Chains. It was released in 1995 and is their third full-length album. The self-titled album is also known as Tripod [citation needed], due in part to the album's cover art featuring a three-legged dog (Jerry Cantrell's dog Sunshine)[citation needed], and the back cover art featuring a three-legged man (computer edited George Formby, Jr.). It is the final studio LP released by the band with Layne Staley, who died of a drug overdose seven years later.

The compact disc was initially available in two versions: one with a transparent purple jewel case with a translucent yellow-green "spine" and the other with the color scheme reversed. The purple jewel case is now out of print.

At almost 65 minutes long, it is Alice in Chains' longest studio album. Although not as successful as Dirt, the album reached #1 on Billboard 200 and went 2x platinum in the US, despite lack of support through touring.

With the exceptions of "Grind", "Heaven Beside You", and "Over Now", the lyrics are all written by Layne Staley, making this album his greatest lyrical contribution to the band's catalogue.
