ReviewsRanked #2 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll., Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", "Soundgarden dealt in unreconstructed heavy rock: a heavy guitar sound, depth-charge drumming....Yet SUPERUNKNOWN also includes more measured moments, such as the shimmering hit single 'Black Hole Sun.'", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums Of The 1990s.", 4 Stars - Very Good - "...At its best, SUPERUNKNOWN offers a more harrowing depiction of alienation and despair than anything on IN UTERO....Although the band serves up a healthy amount of metallic bluster, Soundgarden refuse to define themselves in strict headbanger terms....", Ranked #17 in Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of '94' - "...turns everyday teenage gloom into a prayer for divine wrath to wash the world away....When Kim Thayil locks into...visceral riffs...pure hormonal energy thunders to the rescue...", Included on Jon Pareles' list of the Top 10 Albums Of '94 - "Hard rock, all muscle and sinew, that churns and howls...", Ranked #70 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The defining moment from an unclassifiable band remains brilliantly off-kilter as metal, crushingly moody as alternative and strangely reassuring as classic rock.", "...Like IN UTERO, SUPEREUNKNOWN has a depth and maturity which isn't easily assimilated on the first few listenings ....a brilliant, brilliant album....", Ranked #11 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll., Ranked #6 in EW's "Top 10 albums of the '90s"

  • Badly Mixed Music Cocktail

    I bought Soundgarden CD because like a lot people I wanted to known what parental album of ''Black Hole Sun'' sounds like and to be honest I wasn't largely impressed. There's a few good songs on it like ''The Day I Tried To Live'' and ''4th Of July'' but generally I found the vocals to be unclear and badly mixed most of the time. Other instruments weren't connected well too and thus this LP sounds tastes to my ears like a cocktail made of grapes and spinach. Still it gave me better kick than Nirvana's Nevermind.

  • Super superunknown

    What a great album- took me a while to get into it as I'm not a big heavy rock fan,but give it a dozen plays and there's some great songs. Chris Cornells voice is one of the most emotive and powerful I've ever heard. Turn up the title track to 11 and be amazed at the guitars,the drums,the vocals. CD from music magpie in excellent condition and plays great.
