Re: Soundgarden - King Animal -
Ben's work on "Rowing" is amazing. It almost sounds like SG does Morphine. The band, I mean.

Rowing went from good to great for me. It's really the only song Kim cuts lose on. The bass is awesome too. If I were to rank songs at this point I don't think I would have a below average or average categories. Just good to great.

Switch up Non-State Actor / Bones of Birds, and that might be my rankings as well (with some undecided in the bottom two tiers).
Actually, I think I'd swap BATL / Black Saturday as well.

Re: Soundgarden - King Animal -
Good question, I never heard anyone mention that (though I don't really check the Soundgarden board.)VinylGuy wrote:any of you got the deluxe edition with the dvd?
Wasn't it meant to have been a full-length pro-shot DVD of their Hyde Park show? That seems like it would have been something of a (relatively) big deal.

yeah that hyde park is the dvd coming with the deluxe edition...in the SG board they didnt seemed very happy with it, but i cant find any torrent to see it.
Seems the band filmed the Wiltern show so hopefully thats coming out soon.

The lyrics are not what's wrong with Non-State Actor. The problem is mostly its very bland rocktastic melody.

The worst thing about this album is that I cannot believe people don't agree with me about what is good and bad about it.zeb wrote:Rong.fishbob wrote:attrition sucks, non-state actor has average lyrics
Attrition should never have made it on the album, terrible bland track that adds nothing to the album. It's like a bad version of Kickstand that goes for twice as long
