The Big Dirty is the fourth studio album by metalcore band Every Time I Die. It was released on September 4, 2007 on Ferret Records.

Album style

The band had the following to say about the new album:

Chock-a-block with riffs that only 4 months of a Buffalo, New York winter could spawn, this new record will undoubtedly satisfy [long-time fans] ... Produced by Steve Evetts, The Big Dirty is the CD you would compile if asked to make a mix of the BEST Every Time I Die songs you haven't heard yet. ... If this ain't your favorite heavy release of the year, I'll eat my damn hat.[1]

The title is a reference to the 2006 film Trailer Park Boys: The Movie,[2] in which the criminal protagonists plot to pull off "The Big Dirty," a grand heist, before retiring from their lives of crime.

Release

On April 24, 2007, The Big Dirty was announced for release.[1] The band supported Shadows Fall for three shows,[3] before headlining the 2007 edition of the Sounds of the Underground tour in July and August.[4] On July 2, "Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Battery" was made available for streaming.[5] On July 24, "No Son of Mine" was made available for streaming.[6] The Big Dirty was planned for release in August,[1] before being released on September 4 through Ferret.[5]
