I have no doubt when I say that this unique work, "Temple of the Dog," remains one of the finest pages of the movement that emerged in Seattle at the end of the eighties. An album that aims, first and foremost, to be a memory, a rightful tribute to Andrew Wood: a colleague and, above all, a tragically lost friend. Calm, intimate songs that convey deep emotion in the listening experience; the eleven minutes of "Reach Down," driven by the interpretive pathos of Chris Cornell's voice, is the pinnacle of a splendid album.
