Superunknown
Soundgarden

Ugh. I know people already look forward to dissecting my opinions on crumby grunge bands, so here it goes ... ("this album sucks" - that's for you @jared) Chris Cornell (RIP), has / had such a distinct voice. I don't mind listening to it sprinkled here and there, but it harkens back to 80's poodle-farmer, hair rock. Honestly, 'Spoonman' (?) WTF is this song even about... the guy that plays the spoons or cooks his drugs in bent spoons, who gives a shit? This song rivals 'Closing Time' for dumbest song ever recorded. Let Me Down - Crack is whack and so are Whammy bars. Fell On Black Days - See Black Hole Sun Black Hole Sun - it's a great track ... MTV didn't think I could ever get tired of that mind melting video, but guess what ...? The Day I Tried to Live ... this is a really great song, big dicks straight up for this one. And on this topic, it's not cool for me to shit all over this album when I know that CC suffered from depression for most of his life and died by suicide. He was super talented and what I've read about him made it sound like he was kind of a reluctant celebrity just doing his thing. HIs thing / this thing Superunknown just didn't resonate with me when it was released.
