Not to keen. Not a top album, maybe appeals to nostalgia I don’t know. Did not finish
Not my vibe. A bit too heavy in its hanging smoke and swaying grease and drubbing bass.
Music made for straight white men.
This sounds like nothing. Or an amalgam of early 90's sounds. Like a compilation, field recordings, or someone's best guess as to what will move records. Directionless. Formless. Tasteless. More of an aesthetic than a serious band. I have never understood their appeal and many years later still don't.
I think this will be my first 1 star. Pretty hard to look beyond the terrible vocals. Hoobastank for the 90s.
Not for me
Gar net meins
No songs stuck out in my mind, not an enjoyable listen.
En vägg av ljud utan sväng. Rock utan roll. Som att lyssna på en traktor som går på tomgång.
Only made it a couple of songs in. We weren’t fans back in the day but decided to give it a go. Just didn’t really land with us.
This shit blows chunks. Need to calm down. Didn't finish tbqhwy
Chris Cornell’s voice genuinely hurts my ears. That howly, strained style does nothing for me. The lyrics? Terrible. That kind of drum production—like it was recorded in a garbage can—is easily top 3 worst for me. Somehow, the singles are the weakest tracks on the album. Soundgarden’s never been my thing, and probably never will be. I can’t name a single song of theirs I actually tolerate.
I don’t ever need to hear spoon man again
Not for me
*no music, just loud noise
Hated it. Out of all the stuff we've listened to so far this one i could not listen to twice. I was never able to understand the appeal of Soundgarden and this did not change my mind. Every single song sounds the same (except Black Hole Sun) and is just Chris yowling over the same churning guitar. Forever.
Nope nope nope, just... no.
Not for me. It has a generic grunge sound that doesn't speak to me.
Soooo 90s
Besides “Spoonman”, the rest of the album was really boring and it all the tracks sounded the same.
1.5
SPOOoNMAAN!!! Für mich trz die schlechteren Pearl Jeam :(
Just noise.
pretty repetitive, and loud for loud sake
1 stern
Musically, it’s like a hypermasculine, hyperaggressive version of some 90s jam band. Lyrically, it’s like … idk, Christian rock for edgelord video gamers. The vocals are turgid. I particularly disliked ‘Spoonman’.
I feel bad giving this such a low score, but it genuinely put me in a bad mood. 1.5 stars?
Dull, doofy and oh so ponderous. Vintage '90s grunge seems to get worse with each passing year – who knew it had such a short half-life?
Dont like it this heavy actually
I like soundgarden, but between spoonman and black hole sun i can only give this record as a whole 1 star.
Have to be a hard rock fan. Unique sound.
Cool stuff but not really my thing.
ja nee weer helemaal niks waarom heeft dit zoveel streams
Lyssnade på 1 låt, inte min vibe alls
ziemlich langweilig.
Heavy rock
Yuk
Soundgarden is like the band I thought Sonic Youth would be. I like angst in my music but not this kind. And man, 90's albums were too long. Trim the fat! 1.5 stars
Dont like it.
Репчик не очень
too hard rock
annoying, couldn't listen through it. Some songs had crap lyrics and the instrumentals weren't that good in none of the songs.
Not my cup of tea
Nur laut sein reicht nicht! Krach ist keine Musik!
Chris Cornell has an amazing voice, but this really is straight people music
Uninteressant
1/10 Really, really not my kind of thing. Quite samey sounding Best: Black Hole Sun, I guess
Du tatapoum un peu zzzzz. Passé à côté au moment de la sortie. Trente ans après, cela ne me semble pas bien grave.
Edgy emo garbage. Had to turn it off mid way through because it sounds like a rip off wwe game soundtrack. 1/5
nope
Bad, boring, ass
Nur 2 Stücke ok (Black hole Sun und noch eins). Rest zu sehr Blechrock, nicht mein Geschmack.
1.5/5
Don't like it
This didn't land at all, I couldn't get through all the songs. There was a time when I liked Black Hole Sun enough to put it on a playlist on Spotify, but it seems my taste in music has changed again. I knew the album and the artist, so it wasn't "Superunknown" :D The album is about being depressed I think, I'll give it that, it's just that at the moment I like it more when this theme is presented with anger rather than that suffering helplessness tone.
Don't like metal
couldn't even finish it
Ponderous and way too long, this is a creaking dinosaur of a record. it was never going to age well and has not, indubitably.
Not my jam. Just couldn’t get in to it.
not for me :(
no
horrible
The album photo seemed nice and the genre intruged me but it's just a shit album. It's so repetitive and there is nothing intreseting about it. It's not unbareable to listen cuz its too metal or etc it's just so boring. 2/10 couldnt finish
No soy muy fan del genero. Lo sentí reiterativo, como si estuviese escuchando un mismo tema durante todo el álbum. Destaco la voz de Cornell pero no me salvó el álbum. Solo me llamaron Let Me Drown y Black Hole Sun (que ya lo conocía). Debería escucharlo mas pero la primera impresión no fue buena (aburrido). PD: Me faltaron los arreglos de guitarra de Morello de Audioslave.
Horrible
People that call this "Grunge" have no idea what grunge is. Soundgarden *were* grunge, but by the time of this album, they were just another Heavy Metal band. This album is definitely a victim of the CD era when bands felt the need to fill up the available space, but didn't have the material to justify a 70 minute album. Tuneless songs (as in no melody) based on a single riff is called filler - and this album is at least 75% filler. Thankfully after 55 minutes of what basically sounded like the same song most of the time, the last 3 songs were slightly more interesting and helped me make it to the end. Don't get me wrong. I don't hate Soundgarden. I saw them at a small club in Milwaukee (The Odd Rock) in November of 1989. They had full 8x12 cabinets in a club that holds about 75 people and they damaged some eardrums in an incredibly intense show.
Shite in the 90s, shite now.
weak compared to blind channel
Niet voor mij
Na een hele dag werken en broodjes bakken in het joods museum junior dacht ik: ach ik luister dit album even snel. Ik had vreselijke kinderen over de vloer gehad natuurlijk nét voor sluitingstijd en was hier nog geïrriteerd door. Ik dacht wel: buiten wordt het vast beter. Eenmaal buiten moest ik nog naar een overvolle appie toe omdat ik impulsief had besloten een taart te bakken voor jurs verjaardag. Aangekomen bij de appie besefte ik dat mijn taartvorm in een tas bij jur zelf stond, hadden ze maar 24 verjaardagskaarsjes in een pakje zitten maarja jur werd 26 dus moest ik nóg een pakje halen, werd ik natúúúrlijk gecontroleerd bij de zelfscan en ondertussen stond dit album ook nog eens op. Ik ben zwetend de appie uit gelopen en heb, na het oprapen van m’n fiets want die was ook nog eens gevallen, meteen iets anders opgezet; dit hoef ik echt nooit meer
Why is this on the list.
Not my type of music
Rating of each track (based on personal enjoyment of course): 01: 1 02: 1 03: 1 04: 1 05: 1 06: 1 07: 5 08: 1 09: 1 10: 1 11: 1 12: 1 13: 1 14: 1 15: 1 mean = 1.27 median = 1 mode = 1 standard deviation = 0.998 FINAL SCORE: 1
Unspeakably bad
Grunge - not my thing
The name of this band, Sound Garden, is lovely. I love gardens but this is the kind of music that could kill your plants. Not a fan of grunge, though I do like some Curt Cobain. Not this, no thanks.
Not my style of music
Not my type of music, also dnf
Couldn’t even finish it.
White boys with too many feelings.
only listened to 4 tracks. to metal, to hard for me. skipped rest
I came into this feeling like I kinda didn't like Soundgarden, but I was mostly basing this off of a dislike of Black Hole Sun. Besides, I've listened to some podcasts lately talk about what the music scene was like in their time—I was a little too young for them—and how influential they were, and I thought, okay, I'll give them a fair shake. For a little bit there, at the beginning, I thought maybe, just maybe, I was getting it. I thought, yes, this is emotional and strong and *I'm getting it*. ...Problem is, usually when you want to convey emotion, you have an emotion in mind. "Noise" is not an emotion; but eventually, I realized that's what I was being given. The rock was too aggressive to be melancholic, but not aggressive enough to be angry. It's right in a vague middle ground that says "I want to be heard but I don't actually have anything to say." So now I am, in fact, feeling an emotion, which is "pissed off at Soundgarden", because these angsty, entitled, self-indulgent creeps decided we needed to hear this whiny, single-note noise for over *an hour*? No. You're not as important as you think you are. Take your rambly 6-minute-long songs and get over yourselves. And stay out of my birthday, too. You picked the wrong day to mess with me.
Not a fan, I don't like grunge rock.
Fyeaah
That was refreshing to hear it after so many years... how I miss the '90s.
