Binding: Audio CDEAN: 7314540198282 Label: A&M Manufacturer: A&M MPN: 540198 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: A&M Release Date: March 08, 1994 Studio: A&M Editorial Review: Amazon.com: "Fell on Black Days," indeed. Seattle sludge slingers Soundgarden made a living out of cathartic, woe-is-me wailing (we're talking the banshee vocals of Chris Cornell and the crypt-creaking guitar of Kim Thayil), but this wallowing in grim depression ironically proved to be the band's most uplifting career effort. When the reclusive Cornell ventures out of his shy-guy shell, it's typically via a primal scream of cathartic emotion--he might camp it up with a sophomoric "Spoon Man," but most of this vicious disc leaps straight for your jugular. Generations in the post-millennial future will one day refer to this record to discover exactly how 1990s rock & roll was done. --Tom Lanham Average Rating:
 Rating: - I RememberThis is a great album. I like all these songs. Love the 1.99 download price ;-) Rating: - Soundgarden's Magnum OpusThis album has occasionally been referenced as "Led Zeppelin for the 1990's" and, truth be told, there is quite a Zep influence here (the middle-Eastern stylings, heavy guitar riffs, Cornell's extended Plant-esque wailing). But what sets this album apart from other Soundgarden offerings is the craftsmanship of the songs themselves. Thankfully, the usual "woe is me" lyrics are only present in one or two of the songs.

Rating: - One of the Greatest Albums of the 90s.Amazon is so full of gushing fanboys bloating on about their favorite childhood music, movies, actors. This will not be one of those type of reviews. Superunknown stands the test of time from repeated listening and never shows its age. My kid (12 and 10) love the album and request it on road trips.....by singing the chorus...."ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN" Rating: - amazingOn my list of greatest albums of all time. The experimental songs work well, the radio hits work well. The mix, the sound, the quality, the lyrics...all perfect. All of these new crappy bands should listen to this to find out what rock is all about. |
