re: SOUNDGARDEN - “Down On The Upside”

Pretty Noose is a helluva opener albeit kinda depressing now since Cornell's passing. It's held up as well or better for me than all their hits, and this album had several good ones.

DOTU reminds me of Alice In Chains' self-titled album released than a year prior in that both sound darker and weirder though not as heavy as their previous albums. Both having great deep tracks.

Speaking of deep tracks, i recently learned that Tighter & Tighter was written during the Superunknown era. I think they were smart to push it to this album, but that's just crazy to me considering what they already had.

I'll wait for someone to chime in saying Badmotorfinger puts everything else they did to shame.
