This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
No matter what you think of these Canadian musical comics, you’ve gotta give ’em their props: Dirt is their sixth — repeat, sixth — album.
Any act that can survive that long these days has got to be doing something right. Actually, on Dirt the Arrogant Worms are doing a few things right — like spoofing Celtic music, pondering the mysteries of sponges, Chinese buffets and blue-collar shlubs, and best of all, proclaiming their undying (and unsavory) obsession with Celine Dion (“My heart goes on and on … and I can see your house from my van”). Like A Surgeon it ain’t, but it’s good enough to suggest the Worms will be around to see album seven — if not a restraining order from Celine.
