Product Description

CD Description
Ten years after crawling from the muck and mire of the Seattle grunge scene, Soundgarden's farewell compilation hits all the high points of an impressive career. Nirvana may have taken grunge public, but Soundgarden got there first. Starting with the grinding of SCREAMING LIFE's "Nothing To Say", A-SIDES demonstrates the band's evolution from muscular musical brutes to a unit whose might was tailored by an innovative use of hooks and melodicism.
This collection finds themjourneying all over the musical map, utilising a more percussive assault ("Spoonman"), delving into the depths of psychedelia ("Black Hole Sun"), and even bringing their trademarkaggressive style to the decidedly un-rock mandolin on "Ty Cobb", a song the Ramones might have written had they grown up in Kentucky instead of Queens. A-SIDES stands to prove that throughout their career, Soundgarden remained fervently ambitious in their musical endeavours.

4.0 out of 5 stars All the best bits on one disk!!, 20 Nov 2003
Most people know that grunge in the uk is not the most popular type of rock music around,but if you are going to listen to anyone it should be Nirvana or Soundgarden.
On here you get the Best bits of a long career fronted by Chris Cornell (now of supergroup Audioslave.
All the tracks a apart from tracks 1-3 are of very high quality, From the hard Grumble of "jesus christ pose" to the deep and depressing "fell on black days" other highlights include "black hole sun","pretty noose","the day i tried to live" all anthems.
Soundgarden might not be for blink 182,linkin park lovers,but anyone who likes rock music with a hard and meaningful edge should check this out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great... but still get the albums, 9 Aug 2005
By C. Rees "utisoft" (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an awesome collection, really collecting together most of the best of Soundgarden. Fell on Black Days is seriously underrated, and is possibly the best song they've done, but what happened to Like Suicide? Essential! Fantastic apart from that omission, but really worth getting if you want a sample of Soundgarden. Go on, you know you want it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 13 Jul 2004
By Mr. M. A. Knott "knotty1981" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think now that Chris Cornell is out and about with Audioslave, people wight be looking to get an idea of how he performed with soundgarden.

While they wern't about for long, they were pretty influential. This is an awesome album and really is their best works. My favourite songs on the album are pretty noose, burden in my hand and blow up the outside world.

Essential purchase

This another excellent cd from soundgarden. Some really good tracks such as 'black old sun'. Not all the songs are a 100% but still worth listening too. Worth a look.
