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.

Again, you heard one song, which was made in a week for a movie...do you really think a band would make a "Slaves and Bulldozers" type song for a major movie? (Also, how does it make you think they sound old lol) Until you have the new album, you can't really tell me you know for sure that they can't push things. It might not be dark and heavy like Badmotorfinger, but that doesn't automatically mean it's not good. Down on the upside was a solid album, but wasn't by any means close to Badmotorfingers sound, same with Superunknown. All of their albums have a different sound and style, and until I hear the new album I see no reason to just assume it won't be the same way.
(On another note, I prefer Mind Riot personally lol).
