Yes. I wanted to get in on that initial presale (for last night's show - that worked well for me...grrrr) otherwise I probably would have just bought it through iTunes.
finally i've put my hands on this beast and is spinning over and over, cd is really hot hehe.
what can i say .. Kieran used the best way to define it ... this is Soundgarden! ... says it all .. that's it!
hats off for Mr Cornell-Thayil-Shepherd-Cameron
had to wait 16 years but it's all worth but on the other side i'm thinking .. damn 16 years of awesome music lost hehe
i love to put the spotlights on the huge rhythmic lines .. Ben and Matt at their highest levels; you're right Ed to listen this kind of drumming you have to go back to Down On The UPside .. awesome basslines. Chris too didn't sing this way since a while (studio). Kim? oh well..
it seems the missing link between Superunknown and Down On The Upside
Non-State Actor - By Crooked Steps - Rowing - Taree - Worse Dreams - A Thousands Days Before - and on .. haven't found a weak point yet .. maybe the lack of Ty Cobb hehe
Attrition PJish song? hehe
Chris about the genesis of the reunion We'd all had different experiences where somebody was trying to buy a Soundgarden T-shirt for their child — for me, it was actually for my son — and there aren't any
hehe
On what an active Soundgarden means after the grunge era
"I think it's really triumphant in a lot of ways. We sort of again proved ourselves worthy of being a band and releasing music and making records, separate from anything else: separate from a scene, separate from a genre, separate from anything. To be able to come back, especially after such a long break, and create an album that I believe lives up to the legacy of all of the other albums — I think that's a special thing. It's something that doesn't happen very often."
Originally posted by EDDMB:Good.....its just too great a release to wait.....I would complain to whomever you ordered the cd from.....
I really wanted to relive the experience of getting a new CD, struggling to open the wrapper - even (unsuccessfully) using my teeth, carefully pulling the CD our of the casing so it wouldn't bend or break, and sliding it into the CD changer, and pressing "play."
Oh, well. Maybe I can try this approach for the next U2 or PJ album.
