Not really. I don’t begrudge them it, but Soundgarden’s just trading in on their name, releasing a solid album that reminds us they used to be frickin’ awesome. They aren’t pushing any boundaries anymore. I don’t really expect bands to put out their best work in their comeback tour, so it’s not a demerit, but its nota must buy or anything.
Put it like this, imagine there’s a guy who has never heard a Soundgarden song. Would you point him to the most recent work as a place to start, to get him into them?
There’s very few bands where you’d answer that question “yes”. If Neil Young had never gone away, he’d be the best example. But Neil never had to come back.

They haven't released a single from the album and you're already saying they don't push boundaries? Maybe after the album comes out then that argument could be made, but I don't really understand the logic here, the only newly made song they've had was Live to Rise, which went Top 5 on the charts...as to where I would point him, I'd point him to all of their albums, each album has it's own sound, and it's own feel.
