Superunknown (20th Anniversary)
“Upon its release Superunknown wasn’t just a highly anticipated album from a critically acclaimed rock band—it was Soundgarden’s long overdue turn to come out on top. The 1994 album's being reissued in two-and-five-disc sets; some 20 years later, the album represents the platonic ideal of what a mainstream hard rock record should be.”
Badmotorfinger (Super Deluxe Edition)
“Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger captures the band clicking on all cylinders. The album sustains a level of focus, cohesion, and intensity that the band’s later, more varied albums lack.”
Badmotorfinger (25th Anniversary / Remastered 2016)
“Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger captures the band clicking on all cylinders. The album sustains a level of focus, cohesion, and intensity that the band’s later, more varied albums lack.”
Screaming Life / Fopp (Remastered)
“An all time classic band whose importance to the Seattle grunge scene can’t be overstated. Chris Cornell’s raw vocals differ from later on in their discography and his career as the band takes on their punk rock debut. Which is very similar to fellow Seattle band Nirvana’s “Bleach”. All band members come together to make an incredibly cohesive yet all over the place album that brought eyes on the grunge music that would take off in the following years.”
Ultramega OK (Expanded Reissue)
“This was made in 1988?? Soundgarden’s first official album release is a testament of time, sounding like the psychedelic rock that came years after. From the beginning “Flowers” to the end “Inncecent Mace” it’s pedal to the metal. Legendary vocal performances, guitar solos, riffs, drums. One of my dad’s all time favorites is certainly one of mine”
Superunknown (20th Anniversary)
“Amazing album with incredible vocals and how each song flows and feels like an experience. Unlike their last albums that are so heavy”
