I really like some of the songs on here, but a lot of it sounds like filler to me, making the album just kind of drag on.

The album is full of great songs. While some of these such as Pretty noose may sound a bit cheesy, classics like Dusty and Boot Camp make up for it by far.

Definitely too much filler here. On the other hand, there are some real gems to be found in this album.

One of the most criminally underrated albums on Sputnik. Usually this site is spot on but not in this case. The other being Blink 182 self titled

After releasing back to back titans Badmotorfinger and Superunknown, Soundgarden closes out its 90s career with an almost classic Down on the Upside to complete the triumvirate. Blow up the Outside and Burden in My Hand are the obvious standouts however the show stealer is the fun and overtly aggressive Ty Cobb.

My opinion of DOWN ON THE UPSIDE has only grown in the 20 years that have passed since its release in 1996. My initial
impression was that it was a less consistent collection of songs than the two staggering releases that preceded it. My
primary complaint had always been that the second half isn't as compelling as the first. And while these observations
may still be valid, I didn't predict the staying power of such Chris Cornell compositions as “Blow Up The Outside World”
and “Burden In My Hand, which are now live highlights for them. Other great tracks include "Pretty Noose", "Tighter &
Tighter", the raging "Ty Cobb", the mellower "Dusty" and even the raucous "No Attention". With repeated listening, this
album seems much more satisfying than disappointing in any respect. As fans, we were dismayed with the band chose to
split up after this album, so it's likely that disappointment was also colored our view of the album in retrospect. It's
not a perfect record, but it is a solidly enjoyable one.

Really love this album, and while it isn't quite Superunknown, it's still definitely up there
