I listened to this a couple of days ago and it didn't really do much for me, although I was happy that it at least sounded like them. Gives me hope for the rest of the album.

I like it, nothing really put me off. A good sign of what else is coming. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

It doesn't really sound like Soundgarden to me, but I can't place what it sounds like. Maybe Alice In Chains. Also reminded me a bit of Robert Plant and a bit of Sammy Hagar. -------------

WHAT!? Those are classics! I just felt like Live To Rise sounded exactly like what it was, a song written and recorded for a movie soundtrack. I don't exactly hate it, but it's not something I want to hear a bunch. The chorus isn't too bad, though. ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow"> ht |

Definitely sounds like Coverdale  . Good song but far from any essential Soundgarden, maybe in the context of the album It'll sound better. Oh and who said Spoonman and Black Hole Sun are not that good?  |

i don't think one should expect a rehash back to the "grunge" roots on the new album, i bet the album will have more to it and is more up-to-date in terms of musical influence..

| Just listening to the album for the first time now and so far it's pretty good. Clearly you're listening to a Soundgarden album but too early to commit on whether it's as good as the last 3. |

the album is really solid, and is such an album with many layers in witch way that the song will take some time to sink in and to get a hold on,, some really cool odd time sig

| Currently halfway through my first listen. Doesn't seem like a particularly great album, but I'm taking a strong liking to "Taree". The ultra-silly "By Crooked Steps" seems to be quite good as well. I'll have to see about the rest. |

Funny, because it reminds me a lot of The Hunter actually. But like that album I assume I will eventually find a few tracks I like and a few I don't care for. I'm just a bit sad that they're not as memorable as they used to be. In their heyday they could make complex songs that got stuck in your head immediately. |

Download purchase only $3.99 from Amazon. Figured I'd get some immediate gratification and maybe buy the physical CD later on if I like it. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

| I've listened to the album a bit in the past few days and I've grown quite fond of most of it. My favorites are still "By Crooked Steps" and "Taree", the two tracks that stood out at first listen, but there's plenty of other good material. "Been Away Too Long", "Non-State Actor", "Attrition" and "Halfway There" do nothing for me though. All in all a pretty good album, probably around the same level as Down on the Upside. |

I was just listening to Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger after a long time I haven't. I forgot how powerful they really are.

Really loving this album, faves being Non-State Actor, A Thousand Days Before, Blood on the Valley Floor and Worse Dreams.
Down on the Upside was a letdown as far as I'm concerned, my favorite albums are Superunknown, Badmotorfinger and now King Animal is in there also.

^Down On The Upside takes a while to fully appreciate, at least it did for me. Honestly, from the span of Badmotorfinger to King Animal, they never did release a "weak" album. All classics in my book. ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow"> ht |
