“The sound engineering on this is incredible. Brings it on par with their latest album.The tunes are so early grunge, that blissful chugga-chugga riff synonymous of the era. Chris’s vox cut through like a crystal knife.”

4. All Your Lies
“The riffs-based method defined the intensity and passion lived at the end of 80’s and the begining of 90’s. One of the greatest Seattle’s scene bands along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. The best of the best.”
3. Smokestack Lightning
“This album has always been a talking point when it comes to Soundgarden as there has never been a mix that the band were happy with.”
2. Flower
“I’ve always been amused when Kim Thayll claims that Soundgarden hated metal. I think he hated contemporary metal but clearly these guys just loved early metal (i.e. what might now call “hard rock” or even “classic rock).”
1. Beyond the Wheel
“This album has a certain energy that makes it really enjoyable to listen to. Chris Cornell’s vocals aren’t at their absolute peak here (that comes later with Badmotorfinger), but “Beyond the Wheel” is pretty insane. Decent album.”
