Before
SuperUnkown and mega-popularity came
Badmotorfinger. This the best Soundgarden album. Don't let anyone tell you different. Evidence:
Rusty Cage.
Outshined.
Searching With My Good Eye Closed. And, the
piece de resitance,
Drawing Flies, which is possibly the best driving song ever. The hell with the "grunge" sound. This was rock and roll. This is the Chris Cornell that I will think of whenever I hear that stupid
Sunshowers song and wish that I could go back in time and kill him before he went all pussy. Well, not kill him. But, still. From
Jesus Christ Pose to happy rainbow kitty unicorn ballads is a sad decline in both masculinity and dignity. We won't even discuss Audioslave.
Anyhow, Badmotorfinger is the '72 Barracuda of Soundgarden albums. It's mean, it's fast, it's badass. You're channeling raw power from start to finish.
