Total Fucking Godhead / The Soundgarden Thread

[KurtLeon]

If I put together a Chris Cornell Song tournament (SG, solo stuff, TotD, Audioslave) would there be interest.. He has like 15 albums worth of music so it's a lot of work. Happy to do it, but only if people want to participate

Im in

I'm sorry dudes. I can't get it. Even the "good" songs on King Animal sound laughably bad to me.

[Dev]

I also think DOTU is one of the greatest albums ever made.

[PHATJ]

I don't get it Dev, what do you dislike so much? I think King Animal is pretty great.

[LoathedVermin72]

I tried listening to King Animal recently and I think I get what Dev means. It's like PRAMG Soundgarden.

Yeah, it's just not good.

I genuinely don't understand this. I get that Chris's voice is showing its age, and the production is more crisp and compressed than their older stuff, but these songs do not sound to me like a band taking the easy path to a record. Non-State Actor? Been Away Too Long? By Crooked Steps? Those are all inspired compositional powerhouses.

The opening eight tracks are great together. I could take or leave the rest of the album, but the first eight are great.

[KurtLeon]

Guys. King Animal is pretty good.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, its a great album.

It's nowhere near 90s Soundgarden in quality. PRAMG is a good way to compare it.

Shit. I should have thought of that.

Still better than Lighting Bolt, anyways

I'm gonna adopt this into my everyday life, and become the most optimistic, pleasant person i can be

[get splashed by a car driving through a puddle] - "Still better than Lightning Bolt, anyways"

[get chased by a dog] - "Still better than Lightning Bolt, anyways"

[get fired] - "Still better than Lightning Bolt, anyways"

[lose my bone during sex] - "Still better than Lightning Bolt, anyways"

[explosive diarrhea] - "Still better than Lightning Bolt, anyways"

the only thing that could break this cycle is the next PJ album

Boy are you gonna be embarrassed when you realize he said "Lighting Bolt." Take it to the Electrician's Epiphany thread.

[bodysnatcher]
