{"product_id":"soundgarden-badmotorfinger-2","title":"Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger","description":"\u003cp\u003eBadmotorfinger is the sound of Soundgarden sharpening every edge they had, a 1991 heavyweight that dragged Seattle's underground into the light just ahead of the grunge explosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was the band's third full-length album and the first with bassist Ben Shepherd, whose arrival added a new, unpredictable streak to the songwriting. Chris Cornell's voice was already a force of nature, and Kim Thayil's guitar work leaned into odd tunings and lurching time signatures that set them apart from their peers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRusty Cage opens with a whirlwind riff that later caught the ear of Johnny Cash, who reinvented it on his own terms. Outshined pairs a crushing groove with one of Cornell's most quoted lines, while Jesus Christ Pose is a furious, rhythm-driven assault that still feels confrontational. Searching With My Good Eye Closed stretches out into something darker and more psychedelic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by Terry Date alongside the band, the record balances sludge, metal and punk without ever smoothing down its corners. Matt Cameron's drumming does as much storytelling as the lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecades on, Badmotorfinger remains a cornerstone for anyone drawn to heavy music with brains behind the brawn, and it deserves a permanent spot near the front of the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453137854769,"sku":"602557141580","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Soundgarden-Badmotorfinger.jpg?v=1794228057","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/soundgarden-badmotorfinger-2","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
