for me down on the upside is one of the best albums of the 90,s
as a listener it has always kept me gripped from start to finish.This is a bunch of great musicians experimenting on there landmark album SUPERUNKOWN,and by doing that they create some very intelligent and intense rock music.Every band out there creating music needs to listen to soundgarden THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

Lets abandon the fruitless comparisons and labelling of this to earlier records of the "Grunge" viene. The truth is, Soundgarden were slowing down, and they knew that this would be their last. For this reason they were bound to turn to their own experiments and search for another direction on their own. This brings the disjointed nature of 'Ty Cobb' and the slightly misguided 'Never named'. Of course we looked for Cornell's lushous syrupy lyrics and at times he doesn't dissapoint, but to ask for "Superunknown 2" would be a tragic waste of talent. It retains the essential, infinate quality of every Soundgarden album. I can listen to the album endlessly and each time I find something new. The thoughtful and melodic 'Zero Chance' and 'Switch Opens' being these overlooked, hidden mysteries. They resonate deep sadness that makes this an essential album for any fan of their unique and unmistakable charm. Its an album for all seasons with the racous and thumping 'No Attention', the pensive 'Boot Camp', the reflective 'Burden in my hand' and the tuneful and radio rocking 'Pretty Noose'. Talent shines through in every lick and thump and Im left wondering of the complexities of their poetry. This album can never sprout the same boredom or familiarity of 'Nevermind' or 'Dirt', and this is where the album's power lies. Its difficult to entirley warm to imediatly but given a little time 'Down on the Upside'proves to be the most rewarding of albums. All experiments have their flaws, but look beyond some isolated weaknesses and this is a truly wonderful music experience. They leave you wanting more, as any great artist would. They avoided the grinding routine of Pearl Jam's recent years and the endlessly dissapointing final Smashing Pumpkins work. They left on a high note, and that should be respected as a rarity in modern rock. This truly is their highest note of all. Thankyou Soundgarden.

Having been introduced to Soundgarden through Superunknown, this album came as no surprise. I was expecting something a little different having heard the transition from Badmotorfinger to Superunkown, but once I'd listened to it a few times it started to shine with a sound all it's own. Highlights include opener 'Pretty Noose', 'Dusty' and 'Tighter and Tighter'. Even though Superunknown was the more critically acclaimed album, I would put this on the same level. Also, if you like the quieter moments, then check out Chris Cornell's solo album, 'Euphoria Morning', that will simply blow you away.
