Soundgarden - King Animal -

When a band is but a fraction of Pearl Jam, but they aren't zero Pearl Jam.

Can this even be compared to reunions by their peers? Its of such a high standard I can't lump them in.

'Sorry. This video doesn't exist.'

Is that the 'By Crooked Steps' video? I was hoping it wouldn't be 'funny' but it's Dave Grohl so of course it was gonna be funny, it doesn't seem like he's capable of taking anything seriously.

I just watched it. Actually it was OK. I smirked at the segways. They probably make the video. Also the sincerity in Chris' face makes it funnier, as well as the very straight pokerface by Kim and Ben. LOL. It's better than a FF video.

These are the guys who wrote Big Dumb Sex and Full On Kevin's Mom: I don't think humour and Soundgarden are mutually exclusive.

I don't think Soundgarden were very good when they were writing Big Dumb Sex and Full On Kevin's Mom.

That said, humour is fine -- the video is funnier than Foo Fighters. I was just looking forward to a video that furthered the concept started by the first video and the front cover. But you can't have everything. I just like artistic conceptual consistency.

Yeah it did lose a bit after such a great start, still quite enjoyable overall. The whole bands attacking dj's thing is a bit played out though. It was band enough when Jet did that terrible song 10 years ago, now a bunch of guys in their late 40's pushing that idea seems even less interesting.

i took it as a part of the joke, specially at the end were they surrender to Deadmaus 5.

Sorry to be a bit pedantic, but it's Deadmau5, pronounced "dead mouse," not Deadmaus 5. On topic, I've enjoyed this album more than I expected to, being just a fan of the hits before. I also recently listened to Louder Than Love for the first time in years, and it's quite good. A nice mix of psych, sludge, thrash, and hard rock.

I know who Deadmau5 is but I didn't click, especially with the glasses and the overacting.
