Soundgarden: Superunknown
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
"The chosen title was Superunknown, odd yet fitting. That term perfectly described Soundgarden at every moment of their existence. People knew who they were, but they remained a mystery nonetheless. They were 'that metal band,' 'that Seattle group,' 'those who copy Led Zeppelin.' They managed to sell half a million copies and play in stadiums without people having any idea of who they were. For as much as they could occasionally be recognized, they remained figures in the shadows. Raw wrote about the album: 'A free-fall work, more immediate and accessible than its predecessors; the kind of thing churned out quickly yet lasts for decades... Super powerful in execution, Chris's voice is the dominant aspect, Kim Thayil's guitar hints at the birth of a very personal musician.'"

    "(...) Clearly, the most terrifying thing stemmed from the fact that Superunknown was an album of songs. Soundgarden had always had songs, but they were mostly built on chord changes rather than riffs. Moreover, the band had largely expanded its territories, and the tracks echoed the experiments of the late '60s. Superunknown marked a return to psychedelia that had been an integral part of Soundgarden's sound in their early days. The difference was that now they used it with maturity. Kim Thayil had stated that Badmotorfinger was the "White Album" of heavy metal. On that occasion, Chris added: "Superunknown is the 'even whiter album' of heavy metal." Beatles stuff, definitely. Black Hole Sun displayed deep traces of the Fab Four, especially in the chorus."

    "Soundgarden. Ultramegarock." Chris Nickson.
