This is an album i have owned before but one that has gone missing over time. I have lost countless cd's to friends who've "borrowed" them to burn but hopefully gained as many back under the same pretense. The question is whether it's an even balance of loss to gain, at least now that music has been taken out of the physical realm, all these albums will stay with me forever, or until my computer/hard drive/ipod dies and takes all my music with it.
This was a big album for Soundgarden. Their previous two albums ( bad motorfinger and Superunknown ) had been huge, particularly SuperUnknown which had commercial success with "black hole sun" and "spoonman". So this follow up, 2 years later had the capability to set the tone for them to become one of the biggest bands in the (alternative) world. It sort of worked, they had their 15 minutes, but internal bickering meant that they didn't record another album together. Chris Cornell went on to have a few solo "hits" but mostly sucked at everything he tried.
The album wasn't as popular as Superunknown and the singles not as powerful but there are still some good tracks. 'Pretty Noose' and 'Blow up the Outside' world are memorable moments.
