Soundgarden - King Animal -

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

I know I love Taree, Bones of Birds and A Thousand Days Before, don't remember most of the album, I should listen to it again sometime.

If someone asked me I would have said it came out 2 years ago. Time is flying a little too fast.

I think king animal as an album is a bit of a drag to listen to, I really enjoy some of the tracks , but i don't really ever feel like playing it as a whole. It's better than lightning bolt though.

I like non state actor, blood on the valley floor. A thousand days before is pretty nice too.

The more experimental songs like eyelids mouth and rowing are good but aren't as interesting as songs such as switch opens and tighter and tighter ..

The second half is more experimental and loose but at the same time, i think those songs could have been better.

I do love EM and Rowing though.

I was told to listen to this. I don't like Chris Cornell very much or Soundgarden. But Im listening anyways.

The thing is, I am never good at listening to full albums for some reason. It all bleeds together and I can't distinguish the songs until I listen like 5 times. I guess Im just used to the radio where there's more variety between songs.

the first song was good, at least musically, I still don't like Cornell's voice unless he's singing Audioslave

A Thousand Days Before was pretty good

I still just feel like I'm not good at listening to albums.

Im on the sixth track and I really can't distinguish much besides the first song, it just feels like a lot of Soundgarden.

:facepalm: Of course this is your immediate favorite. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills (it's not just you mjd, everyone but me seems to enjoy this song).
A Thousand Days Before is an awesome song. It's easily my favorite from KA, and I really like KA.

The anti King Animal RM contingent is a travesty.

The only song I think is outright bad is "Been Away Too Long". I even prefer "Halfway There".
