Pros: everything(I'll explain)

Cons: the only con would be there was only 15 tracks!!!!!!

I don't even know where to start! This album was real,melancholy,heavy and vunerable with amazing riffs,melodies and supporting harmonies all at once. It's absolutely brilliant from the music to stories behind the lyrics. The band's musical range and talent is unmatched. Songs like "Fresh Tendrils","Limo Wreck", and my personal favorite"Like Suicide" are just a few that take you on an emotional rollercoaster about love,personal and global downfalls,and life experiences that leave you wanting more.Yes I know this is my personal opinion,but I've never met anyone who does not rank this album with the best of them like The Beatles "White Album" or Zeppelin's "IV" album.I'm not talking about sound; rather of inspiration. Please do yourself a favor and go out and purchase this album.You will be happy that you did.

GREAT!

Soundgarden - Superunknown

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 21, 2003

Simply a beautiful album. Says everything there needs to be said about the whole grunge and rock scene of the 90`s.

Sounds Like Soundgarden

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 14, 2003

This cd is the best Soundgarden cd. Three words are all i need to say: "Black Hole Sun". That is one of the best songs ever wrote. The cd would still kickass even if that was the only track on it.

u should buy this great album because every song is good and i think u will like it to,one more thing BUY THIS ALBUM

one of the best grunge bands youll ever

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 14, 2003

This is one of Soundgadens best CD that they ever made. Besides Nirvana and Pearl Jam , soundgarden was one of the greatest grunge bands. Black Hole Sun is one of the greatest songs of our time, besides once again some of Nirvanas and Pearl Jams songs. I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes grunge, rock, and punk. If they like this CD they will like most of Nirvanas and Pearl Jams CD. So go out and buy them.

ooohh nnnnnnnnooooooooooo

OH MY GOD!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEN ALL MY LIFE?

Must have

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 19, 2002

Your grunge collection isnt complete without this record. This is the best and by far the most powerful sound by Soundgarden ever. Love this album. I will never get rid of this album, even pop fan gonna like it.

Not a great grunge LP

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 26, 2002

The album is miserably overrated. i can think of 20 albums from the nineties that were superior, and the 90's were not even that great. It wasn't poorly written, but it was nothing spectacular. For grunge fans only, but don't buy it until you've heard Alice in Chains "Dirt" "Facelift", or Pearl Jam's "ten". If you don't like those, then you don't like grunge.

Top three albums of the '90s.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 3, 2002

C'mon! 5 Stars is not enough. This album is 1-15 a PERFECT recording. Maybe the best work of the '90s. If you remember, the decade started with crap-pop - then Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone took over and saved us all. With the exception of PJ's "Ten", Nirvana's "Nevermind", and Smashing Pump's "Gish" - this album defined the movement, they took head of state once this was released in my mind. They are not my favorite band from that time - but give this album props. It is a f*cking masterpiece.
BEST SONG? mmmm...."Head Down" or "Like Sucide" (acoustic version)

great strong rock

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 28, 2002

This was their best. a few tracks throw off the flow of the disc, but a strong effort.

Thank you Chris, Kim, Matt, and Ben

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 29, 2002

Their finest offering, with many excllent songs. Push play and let it go. "Fell on Black Days" will forever be with me

3
Fell On Black Days
92
The best song on the album. Was also later re-recorded and released as a single, but never was a big hit. People are ignorant of brilliance!!

4
Mailman

Awesome 'blues rock' track.

When I hear this song, I think of skiing down a rugged mountain slope.

A classic.

8
Spoonman
81
A big hit song, with a 7 2 time signature!!!

Limo Wreck
82
Incredible singing performance - explosive, emotive song, great chorus, innovative chord progression in verse, and featuring guitars tuned lower than death itself!

10
The Day I Tried To Live
83
A refreshingly quirky rock song with its unusual 6 4 time signature and explosive chorus and melodic introduction guitars.

11
Kickstand
76
Raw and quick rock song.

12
Fresh Tendrils
77
Another well-written mid-tempo song with explosive moments.

13
4th of July

Guitars chug along almost an octave lower than normal in this very good song, with an apocalyptic vision. Great vocal range.

14
Half
60
Very 1970s metal....with flutes and stuff..

Like Suicide

A big, bold superballad, awesome singing range. Amazing highs and lows in Chris Cornell's voice..

Nursery-rhyme metal melodies

Superunknown

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 9, 2001

What else can I say? The definitive album from the 90's. I think it is safe now for us to drop the grunge tag that this album was horribly labeled as. The band and this album in particular were way beyond that. Time moves on folks. This album could have been released in the last 20 years and still sound fresh. It could have came out in the era of progressive, heavy metal, or straight ahead rock and roll. It just so happans it was released when everything was Alternative and/or Grunge. All I can say is whatever. Superunknown is a classic, no matter what it's fucking labeled as far as I am concerned...

Epic

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 30, 2001

This album goes down in history as one of the most versatile, profound, progressive and moody (in a good way) rock albums.

Chris Cornell has the most beautiful singing-voice of all time.

great

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 26, 2001

buy this album

Amazing!!!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 26, 2001

One of my all-time favorites. Black Hole Sun, Fell on Black days and Like Suicide are my favourites. But there isn`t a single song on the CD that isn`t worth listening as with most cd`s. Outstanding from beginning till the end!!!

Shit yeah...good CD.

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 25, 2001

You can't go wrong with SUPERUNKNOWN, one of the best albums ever. Really strong well-made grunge rock that hooks on you easily. "Black Hole Sun", "Spoonman", "Fell On Black Days",
"My Wave", "Day I Tried To Live", "Kickstand" and "Limo Wreck" are all my real favorites on an even timeless CD. Recommended, with five stars since I couldn't give it 10.

listening to it now

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 20, 2001

wot can i say? its one of my all time favourite album. the heavy grunge sound mixed with soundgarden`s unique colour that distinguishes them from other grunge bands. fantastic album, especially `let me drown'. it is absolutely gorgeous i can listen to it for hours

Brilliant

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 16, 2001

Brilliant album. Chris Cornell is cool. ;)

Best album of the 90s?

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 11, 2001

Definately in the top 5 albums of the 90s. Every song is amazing, not one mediocre note or riff or lyric to be found. After Badmotorfinger was overlooked due to the huge popularity of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Soundgarden came back with an album that topped everything before it that was grunge.

Essential

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 5, 2001

After Pearl Jam, this is my second fav band, and this album is just essential for grunge, my favourite song is ''Fell On Black Days''

Amazing

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 12, 2001

This is an incredible alternative/heavy metal record. Chris Cornell is one of the most gifted vocalists of all time, and every members songwriting is awesome. Every metal fan should defintely own this album. Amazing!

Best alternative album of all time

By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 29, 2001

This is the album that generated most of Soundgarden's hits and made them known around the world. Although Badmotorfinger gave them some success, this album turned Soundgarden into legends. Every song here is a gem, and like some review said: Compared to Soundgarden, Nirvana's angst seems childish.
Buy this album, and you'll get all the hits: "black hole sun", "spoonman", "my wave" & "fell on black days" and also the fan-favorites like "limo wreck" and "like suicide"
