[CRAZY-HORSE]

SOUNDGARDEN "badmotorfinger" cd,1991.

this one could have gone in alternative also as these guys were also very "grungy", but i feel this one's guitar sounds have more in common with Black Sabbath and to a lesser degree Led Zepplin, Sabbath for the deep heavy sound and Zep's for the riffs....
look, never been a fan of these guys, maybe i got this one because i liked their 'black hole sun' single from 1990...not sure, but that would sound riht to me.
Chris Cornell's vocals are fine, he has a good rootsy/bluesy feel to them and he has the strength there also, but something about these guys i simply do not like, cant quite put my finger on it though,same goes for his only other album i own in his solo set "carry on".
the opening track "rusty cage" is brilliant IMO but the album goes down hill from there with half of the remaining tracks only getting the dreaded "*".
these guys were never huge on the charts but did have a loyal cult-like following throughout the world.
not sure why but allmusic give this one a converted 2.7, my score is only slightly above half that...dont like it, dont care if this one doenst make its way onto my player in the next few years...

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
