For all those nostalgic for the early '90s, like me, I dust off this jewel of rare beauty that served to prove that Soundgarden was not just a bastard cross between Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
Here the Seattle band adds new and exciting melodic openings to their typically shadowy early atmospheres, with Cornell's voice increasingly affirming itself as an additional instrument, yes, because it really is an instrument in this case: an instrument that holds up excellently against the mighty rhythmic base created by the other three.
Superunknown does not represent the swan song of grunge as it no longer belongs to that scene, but extends to new and unexplored (so to speak) horizons: and here I mention the excellent Black Hole Sun and Fell On Black Days, iconic and non-iconic songs of the album.
But perhaps Cornell's band never belonged to the grunge planet, or at least not entirely.
