Haven't listened to this album in forever. It was great. I don't quite connect with it to make it a 5/5, but it's close. 4.5/5

Is Superunknown the best mainstream rock album of the 90’s? Honestly, it’s probably not better than Badmotorfinger, which is tighter. But it’s cool that after that LP’s surprise success, they doubled down on their sludgy sound and put some of their best riffs down (“4th of July” is totally not a song that an act chasing the top 40 would make), while adding more melody. If it was a song or two shorter, it’d be in the A range, so I hope a B+ will do.
I've loved this record ever since it came out when I was still in junior high. I enjoy it no less today. I often go back and forth on whether I like Superunknown more or Badmotorfinger. Superunknown is definitely more tame, but some of the melodies are so much darker that it's a no-less entertaining album. Limo Wreck is still a song that gives me goosebumps every time; such a heavy verse, and Chris Cornell's vocals just absolutely soar in the chorus. Can't say enough good things.
