Sorry Superunknown is their best as a full album.



Side A of this might be their best ‘half an album’ though

Definitely, also a couple of good songs still needed editing down a bit too

Superunknown's only flaw is that it's 70-odd minutes long. Every song on it is perfect, but the album is so long that it turns into a bit of a slog sometimes.

^ I agree for both Superunknown and this. I love them, but God do they sometimes feel never-ending

Alone in the office, jamming this at max volume. One of my favorite 90’s records.

Superunknown is significantly longer but has maybe a third of the ideas this album does. I still like it but it doesn't even touch Badmotorfinger imo

Disagree. Superunknown might have some “filler” but there’s only a few choice cuts on this record that compare with that album.

This and Superunknown are neck and neck tbh.



But every track on Superunknown is a banger, this record has a couple that just can’t compare. Might be a hot take but New Damage, Searching With My Good Eye Closed, and Somewhere are worse than any track on Superunknown.



Still, incredible record. Rusty Cage, Outshined, Jesus Christ Pose, and especially Slaves and Bulldozers and Room a Thousand Years Wide are stone cold classics

Outshined might be the goated so simple but incredibly badass riff ever. I fucking love that riff.



Lookin California and feelin Minnesota

Also just extremely depressed that Chris died a couple of days before I had pit tickets to see them and Dillinger Escape Plan.

Rest easy Chris. ily

"Disagree. Superunknown might have some “filler” but there’s only a few choice cuts on this record that compare with that album."



If the lesser tracks from this album you named were on Superunknown, they'd be in the upper third of it pretty easily.
