Soundgarden - King Animal -

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

Even though i dont quite like the song, Matt´s drumming in Worse Dreams is impressive. So heavy and loose..

I really like Worse Dreams and think its one of the best songs on the album though I think I'm in the minority here.

I kinda hate how the guitars sound in the chorus...im expecting to be this loud fucking thing and its kinda poppy...the demo sounds better.

I hear ya and see your point but I like it. Maybe if it was heavier I'd like it even more!

I definitely think so.

There's a handful of songs that don't quite hit the mark but it's generally very good.

Agreed. I like it as much as any other Soundgarden album.

A Thousand Days Before might be my favorite Soundgarden song. Well, probably not, but top 5.

There are so many damn good songs though. What do you hate so much about it?

The only song i truly dont like is Halfway There. Sounds like a Carry On outtake...Taree is the other one i dont care.

The rest is pretty awesome.

Taree is so good.

The only significant gripe I have with this record is the sound. I'm not sure if it's more attributable to the recording or the mastering but it has a kind of dull and muffled overall sound. Wish it felt a little more open.

Excellent, good-as-anything-they've-ever done:
Blood on the Valley Floor
Taree
Attrition
Bones of Birds
Rowing

Very good:
Non-State Actor
By Crooked Steps
A Thousand Days Before
Been Away Too Long

Not bad:
Eyelid's Mouth
Worse Dreams

Better luck next time:
Halfway There
