a 20th anniversary reissue of the band's finest hour - 'Superunknown' is a sprawling, 70-minute magnum opus that pushes beyond any previous boundaries.

Their earlier punk influences are rarely detectable, replaced by surprisingly effective appropriations of pop & psychedelia. 'Badmotorfinger' boasted more than its fair share of indelible riffs, but here the main hooks reside mostly in Chris Cornell's vocals; accordingly, he's mixed right up front, floating over the band instead of cutting through it. The rest of the production is just as crisp, with the band achieving a huge, robust sound that makes even the heaviest songs sound deceptively bright. But the most important reason 'Superunknown' is such a rich listen is twofold: the band's embrace of psychedelia & their rapidly progressing mastery of songcraft.
