Soundgarden - Down On The Upside (1996/2016) [Remastered] (Official Digital Download 24-bit/192kHz)

The pressure was on Soundgarden to follow up 1994's breakthrough release "Superunknown" and the band didn't disappoint with "Down On The Upside". Peaking at number two and selling well over a million copies in the US, the self-produced album spawned American rock radio hits "Burden In My Hand", "Blow Up The Outside World" and "Pretty Noose", which also went top 15 in the UK.

Despite the worldwide success of the two consecutive albums, tension among the group members became unbearable and less than a year after Down On The Upside came out, Soundgarden split up, not to reunite for another 16 years.

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.
