re: Your top albums of 2012

I’ve heard the single. It sounds like… well, Soundgarden who has gotten old. It’s a good, solid song, but it ain’t Slaves and Bulldozers. I honestly could care less how it charted. But are you seriously going to say, “I think this is one of the best Soundgarden songs I’ve ever heard”? That if the complete noob asked you where to start with Soundgarden, you’d point them to the new song?

Or, if they had a reunion show and only played, say, 3-4 old songs and all the rest new material, you’d be completely satisfied because the new material is that great? That’s what I’m talking about for how good I think Burma (or the Feelies… good call) new stuff is. It completely stands on its own as if the band had no legacy.
