Product Description

CD Description
Soundgarden couldn't have picked a better time to issue itsbest album yet, BADMOTORFINGER, in the fall of 1991. The Seattle explosion (which also included Nirvana, Pearl Jam, andAlice In Chains) was just about to take off, and along withsuch other classic albums as NEVERMIND, TEN, and FACELIFT, BADMOTORFINGER benefited greatly from all of the newfound media attention and critical praise. New bassist Ben Shepherd fit in perfectly with the band, evidenced by this incrediblyconsistent album. Although Soundgarden's breakthrough hit, "Outshined", remains the best-known track, the whole album is a must-hear from beginning to end.
While BADMOTORFINGERis certainly best experienced listening all the way through, single standouts include the barnstorming album opener, "Rusty Cage", the all-out assault "Jesus Christ Pose", as wellas the crawling "Slaves & Bulldozers", and the tranquil "Mind Riot". Add to it the back-to-back epics "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" and "Room a Thousand Years Wide", plus the short punk blasts "Face Pollution" and "Drawing Flies", and you have one of the greatest rock albums to ever come out of the Emerald City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy riffdom from the gods of modern rock..., 25 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Badmotorfinger (Audio CD)
When people say 'there wont be another band as heavy as Sabbath or as riffy as Zepellin' I feel it is my duty as a big Soundgarden fan to point out that there is(was)indeed a band that take hard rock to a new level. They look at me blankly and say 'You mean the band that did Black Hole Sun?' obviously not convinced by my argument.

The proof however, is in the pudding (the pudding in this circumstance being Badmotorfinger). As soon as you hear the opening wail of the intro to 'Rusty Cage' you get the feeling this album isnt going to be your average rocker. The tempo change on the opener is fantastic. The second track 'Outshined' is probably the most well known of this record and its not hard to see why with its crunching riffs and Cornell's top notch vocals. The third track 'Slaves and Bulldozers' takes a while to get used to but proves over time to be a sublimal hard rock song with Cornell again showing his vocal variety. Then we get to 'Jesus Christ Pose'. Written by all the band members, this song is epic. From the feedback drenched intro over possibly the biggest drumbeat known to man through an incredible bassline to the final riffs it is a masterpiece, and one of the best vocal showcases in rock in my opinion. Definately my favourite track. 'Face Pollution is next, and while it seems slightly out of place on the album with its punkier sound, it's still a good fast song. The next song 'Somewhere' is the most interesting on the album with its alternative tuning and perculiar timing and definately a good song. 'Searching with my Good eye closed' is another masterpiece. It has a pychadelic feel to it and overall is a winner. 'Room a thousand years wide' is a great headbanger with its no-nonsense metal riff, but of course Soundgarden had to stamp their own mark on metal by adding trumpets to the climax of the song..Great! 'Mind Riot' is my least favourite on the album. While still quite a good song, it lacks a certain something and sounds as if any band could have written it. We then move on to the fast, 70's style riff of 'Drawing Flies' a great rocker that you'll listen to quite a few times before moving on to the next track 'Holy Water' a heavy crunching downtuned riff does drag on a bit but is still a decent song. The album ends with 'New Damage', again it took a while for me to get into this track but once i did it became one of my favourites of the album.

So overall this is an overlooked hard rock gem.Overshadowed by such less deserving albums as Pearl Jam's 'Ten' and Nirvana's 'Nevermind'. Buy this along with 'Louder than Love' for the ultimate Soundgarden expirience.

Oh, and any of you Nirvanaites who thought Nirvana where heavy, be prepared to get blown away...

5.0 out of 5 stars They don't make them like they used to!, 8 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Badmotorfinger (Audio CD)
I heard this years ago and it blew me away and I loved every second of it! Rusty Cage, Jesus Crist Pose are just a slice of the Cake they call Soundgarden. In a time when everyone was Nirvana mad, Soundgarden was pulling in the crowds in a more gritty way. Hard edged and as loud as you can handle it. Still sounds as good now as it did then. Pure class. Buy it or fry in Hell!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest rock CDs of all time ...., 20 Feb 2004
This review is from: Badmotorfinger (Audio CD)
Where to begin? The haunting, warped intro of Rusty Cage to the closing chords of New Damage, this album encompasses all that was great about Soundgarden: riffs that could ingratiate themselves into your subconscious after one listen; Cornell in fine form lyrically (listen to 'Room A Thousand Years Wide', for example) and the best drummer ever to grace my CD player.

People will be familiar with 'Outshined' (my favourite track of all time, bar none) and 'Jesus Christ Pose', but Badmotorfinger offers so much more: the dark and rumbling 'Slaves and Bulldozers', the slow, ethereal riffing of 'Holy Water', the psychedelic trip-fest that is 'Searching With My Good Eye Closed', the feedback-soaked guitars of Kim Thayil and the inspired lyrical content of Chris Cornell.

Put plainly, this is one of the best albums you will ever own. And for the price Amazon are offering it at ........ a steal.
This is my favourite album of the last twenty years.

Par excellence.
