Free Music Review: A great capper to a great career
Hit: 4 Stars
An incredibly underrated record. Of course, there's no way it can compare to the double-play of the last two records, but that isn't for lack of trying. It's as ambitious as anything else the group's ever done, and it's got a lot of my favorite Soundgarden tracks: the radio-ready rocker "Pretty Noose", which nonetheless is an intelligent summary of the group's last two records; the complex funk-metal "Rhinosaur"; the Pearl Jam-like power ballads "Zero Chance"; the moody, acoustic "Dusty", the slow, trippy, almost Beatlesque "Blow up the Outside World" (the best song on the album, by the way - guitar solo, chorus, cool vocal effect in the verses, and that Beatles sound that I love because the Beatles OWN), and the mellow folk-grunge combo "Burden in My Hand", as well as some other good stuff, like the psychedelic dirges "Applebite", "Overflow" and "Tighter and Tighter". However, there is a ton of underwritten punk here ("Never Named", "Ty Cobb", with a stupid banjo; "Never the Machine Forever"; "No Attention"), and it seems like they've caught U2 Frontloading syndrome - all the absolute best tracks are found within the first eight songs. Plus I don't know what they were going for with "Boot Camp", but they struck out regardless. Despite all that, this still stands as one of Soundgarden's better records, and probably the last significant album of the grunge boom.
