SOUNDGARDEN - Down on the Upside (1996)


-------------------------------------------

Superunknown was a breakthrough in many ways. Not only did the album bring Soundgarden a new audience, it dramatically expanded their vision, as well as their accomplishments. If Down on the Upside initially seems a retreat from the grand, layered textures of Superunknown, let it sink in. The sound of Down on the Upside is certainly more immediate, but the band hasn`t returned to the monstrous, unfocused wailing of Louder Than Love. Instead, they`ve retained their ambitious song structures, neo-psychedelic guitar textures, and winding melodies but haven`t dressed them up with detailed production. Consequently, Down on the Upside is visceral as well as cerebral -- `Rhinosaur` goes for the gut, while `Pretty Noose` is updated, muscular prog rock. Down on the Upside is a deceptive album -- it might seem like nothing more than heavy metal, but a closer listen reveals that Soundgarden haven`t tempered their ambitions at all.
