Din of Ecstasy is the second studio album by singer-songwriter and guitarist, Chris Whitley. It was originally released on Columbia Records in 1995.
"On his second album, Whitley abandons the atmospheric acoustic blues-rock of his debut for a hard-hitting, grungy guitar attack. Appropriately, the songs are all about losers and hard times -- it's a dark, bleak album, twisting through its songs with a grim determination. Whitley's lyrics are still rooted in the folk-blues storytelling tradition, while his music follows the rules of contemporary hard rock, complete with start-stop dynamics and thick layers of distortion." - Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
