Well it is. Get on it. Good bands are good bands. I had no doubts they'd put out a quality album.

Album Rating: 2.5

assuming sputnik users don't already have an automatic bias toward albums based on average ratings

It gets better with every listen. I just listened to it for the second time, and it is even better. It's the Soundgarden we were left with in 1996

So, this is pretty much like the old soundgarden...

I don't say!

moronic statement

that should be the blurb for a 5 rating

agreed

Album Rating: 4.0

The weird, experimental, badassery of Down on the Upside isn't touched by King Animal, but hey... it's a decent record. "Black Saturday" is very good.



but I'm one of those guys who likes DotU almost as much, if not more, than Superunknown.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Very nice. Back where they belong. Showing their talent and musicianship. And that voice. Made my day

So nice to hear Soundgarden again but if I have one complaint it's that the songs are all fairly short. One or two 7 minute grooves would have been much appreciated.

Album Rating: 4.0

after a few more listens I'm really starting to appreciate this much more. Still not as good as the last three albums though.

Album Rating: 4.0

I think it's on par or a little better than Down on the Upside, but yeah it would be dumb to think this could top their classics

I don't why I struggle with comebacks, and automatically think "gimmicky"...well I thought this all the way till I listened to the album. I guess lesson learned, don't doubt Soundgarden. They look like they haven't lost a step; even gained a bit in the 16 year layoff

Album Rating: 3.5

well billy corgan said they only came back for the money so thats as gimmicky as it gets right??!?!?!

Album Rating: 4.0

Billy corgan says a lot of things, and he took some of the things he said back. The guys got to eat and I don't mind giving them money for this record, most of the cash is earned from touring anyway.

i still have to listen to this

Album Rating: 4.0

"Applebite" is an amazing song, just want to throw that out there.



Personally, I find Down on the Upside to be just as good if not better than Superunknown, so King Animal doesn't come close to their previous records for me... still. Shit's great.
