4th of July is such a monster.

Also, She Likes Surprises is amazing. I dont listen to it quite often. Im not sure why.

Here, here! One of my favorite parts in their catalog, and also a great example of something that was eye-opening for me when I listened to the Michael Beinhorn interview on Celebration Rock: He talks about how during the Superunknown sessions, Chris honed in on the combination of Black Sabbath and The Beatles, his two favorite bands. That completely changed my perception of Soundgarden, and that bridge is like the perfect example of that idea.

Yeah, i also loved that podcast and i think thats very well present in Superunknown. I just posted about She Like Surprises and thats the best Beatles grunge type of song ever.

Also, i would love to hear the extended bridge Ben brought to the band. He did play it love sometimes and it was like entering to this amazing vortex.

oh I didn't know about this, yeah I'd also love to hear that.

Have any bootleg SU demos surfaced?

None that I know of, though I do enjoy the early versions of songs from Self Pollution

Happy bday DOTU!!

Blasting this beauty right now.

Been listening to this all day.

I remember I won an advanced copy of this off a radio Call-In when I was in High School...and subsequently making a bunch of tape dubs for my friends...I think I got it a week or two early...

I will always appreciate how different this band managed to sound from album to album...somehow evolving while not betraying their DNA... It's not an easy feat, but one of the many reasons this band will always be so special to me.

I love this album. The beauty, the chaotic mess, the obscurity...the overall feel of apocalyptic doom some of this songs have.

I love it.

It’s my favorite front-to-back album. Not a bad song in the bunch. Though I do wish Bleed Together has made the cut.

yeah, thats a very good song. Im not sure it fits tough.

I feel the same about Kristi.... I really wish it would have made the cut... but overall I don't think there is a good spot for it on here.

Would have made a killer hidden track though, back when that was in vogue.

Yeah, I agree neither of these would fit comfortably in the sequencing

kristi is amazing. The studio version is just killer.

One could make the argument that kristi is Soundgarden's thesis. It has just about everything that defines them rolled into one heavy, killer song. Everyone is on point throughout the track.

In your light
I might bathe in cold burnt sweat
In your mouth
I might feel the serpent's kiss
In your womb
I might swim in fetal bliss
In your heart I'd freeze

Bleed Together could have fit. Replace Never The Machine Forever.

Even Kristi could have maybe replaced Rhinosaur? I guess not tho. Kristi would have fit on Superunknown.

God no.
